Merry Christmas Everyone.

My family and I landed in Calgary on Dec 22nd. We used Lufthansa and had 7hours transit in Frankfurt and another 9hrs35mins to Calgary. We booked our tickets via IOM.

The landing experience was good, we didn't spend more than 30mins at the immigration. They asked if we brought food items and I said yes. They asked if Yam was inclusive and the answer was NO. (I learnt that they don't like Yams) We were not asked for the list of items we brought with us. We were only asked for the list of items we will be expecting. Our luggage wasn't checked by anybody.

NO POF was requested from us.

On 23rd, we went to get our SIN - it took less than 40mins, we registered for Alberta health card and opened Bank Account that same day.

On 24rd, we went to see Santa in the spirit of Christmas. Lol. Canada is beautiful, it's cold anyway but people who have been here for long says the weather is very fair for now. We are settling down gradually.

I'm sure you'll soon get settled .
Happy for you and the family .
Hoping for more updates as you get settled gradually.

Congrats Abeke• Great stuff• POF is definitely not a prerequisite of landing formalities from all the landed• IOM is really cool• I can see you are already enjoying Canada• Continue to relate with us from time to time• God bless you•

There should not be problems with that in as much as you have completed accurately every other needed forms

Congrats Abeke. I am sure they dont like Yam because they don't like foireign soil introduced into their country and Yam sometimes still has soil on it.

Abeke, is it a must to have a list of all items that would be coming into the country at a later date? I believe this list is to ensure our fgoods enter the country duty free. What if something is missed from the list.

Have a wonderful Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone.

Just curious. Please those of us that have received our COPR, did both copies have your passport photo affixed on them?

Secondly, I used to read about the Indians having some of their documentation, including IELTS result, returned alongside their Visa and COPR. I guess Accra keeps all we send to them or did anyone get any document back?

Merry Christmas all and a Prosperous New Year ahead!!!

Please i want to find out if the temporary drivers license is usable in Canada and if its advisable (or advantageous) to get the current drivers license from FRSC before coming to Canada. We are about to renew our licenses.

Thank you and regards
