Hi guys! A couple of tips for all from my experience.
1. After you are done with the immigration at Canada, they'll give you a signed copy of the landing papers, make sure that you keep that copy somewhere safe cuz you gonna need that when you apply for your citizenship a few years later. Also, it acts as your temporary PR card till you get one in the mail.
2. Try to get your SIN (social insurance number) at the airport itself as it will save you a
LOT OF HASSLE. You need SIN for pretty much everything here (bank a/c, phone, cable, rent/lease an apartment etc.)
3. If you have a valid US driver license, you can get it converted to a Canadian license without any written or road tests. Pretty cool eh...
;D
4. Apply for your health insurance card as soon as you can. In ON you are eligible for benefits after 3 months of stay
And ABOVE ALL:-
From my many-many years of experience of living abroad,
DON'T F*CK with CREDIT and DON'T DROWN IN DEBT!!
It's very easy to swipe credit cards, but never go above above you means! In Northern America, if you have bad credit, you are nobody!
All the best folks! If any questions, PM me.
