&&&---PAKISTANI APPLICANTS LANDING IN 2015---&&&

[Inspired beta]

One more advice needed. From where I can get DD OR TRAVELLERS check from pakistan? Is there any limit for DD?

Dear
Try the Pakistan applicants thread...
There have been issues with drafts from Dollar East.

Dear,
Ans: Option 1

Option 1:
Pros: POE and destination city is same (Important factor)
Cheaper
Etihad and KLM have good service (i have flown both)
Cons: Non Asian meals for 8 hr 53 min

Option 2:
Pros: Non Asian meals for 3 hr and 28 min
Cons: POE will be Toronto (Landing formalities).
So you will have to check connection time in Toronto.
Comparatively expensive.

In the end, it's a personal choice.....

If I transit from Toronto, do they handover the check-in baggage to me in Toronto or it will be handed over at final destination Edmonton.

I need advice from senior members regarding air tickets

I am getting 2 option from etihad airline

1. Karachi---abudahbi----Netherlands----edmonton(etihad +klm)
2. Karachi---abudahbi---Toronto---edmonton (etihad + air canada)

No 1 option is cheaper with same baggage allowance and almost same travelling time. Which 1 shall I select?

have u tried saudi airline ? its from karachi to jeddah/raiydh to torronto and is cheapest , check skyscanner.com

I selected the 1st option because its better to complete landing formalities at exit point. Otherwise I have to complete my landing in Toronto.

Hi Guys,

I'm new on this forum from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and intending for Canadian Immigration. By reading some threads, I came to know that Canada has launched Express Entry but can you guys please update that if CIC has closed the Skilled Worker program or still they are accepting the applications under this category along with EE?

Thanks

All the information is on CIC website........why not check it out rather than ask here?
CIC website is the OFFICIAL website of Canadian Immigration. Always check it for ALL the information about applying.

Assalaam o Alaikum Wa Rehmatullahi wa barakatuhu

Very informative topic and Jazaak Allah Khayrun to All members who participated and still participating. You people are doing Sadqa e Jareya.
I have been on trackitt forum and over this forum for last couple of months but couldn't find out this topic untill now.
By the grace of Allah, we have gotten PR visa & CoPr on 5th Oct 2015. We are planning to land in first 2 weeks of Feb 2016.
Our application is a Family Class including principal applicant(Father),spouse, 2 dependent sons in which one is myself
We have waited approx 8 yrs in getting immigration completed and by the grace of Allah after waited so long finally the dream comes true
I have lost all the hope and was planning to move in middle east before things get quickly sorted.

Our brother lives in Edmonton so it's an advantage that we don't face difficulties in settling issues.
I have read all 26 pages posts of this topic and my sincere prayers to all those who share valuable information with us, may Allah reward them with goodness.

After searching a month about flight plan, following is the best route which i selected

Karachi (KHI) > AbuDhabi (AUH) > Amsterdam (AMS) > Edmonton (YEG)
Throughout KLM airline but KHI to AUH operated by eitehad airways but aircraft will be of KLM.

The reasons of choosing this route :

1- Direct landing on Edmonton gives us advantage of getting health card within a week.
2- No transit visa require anywhere
3- Throughout KLM gives no baggage transfer issue at every check-ins.
4- They certainly give HALAL MEAL if you mentioned in booking, i have confirmed it. You can check KLM site as well.
5- 2 hrs stayover in Abu Dhabi and 8 hrs stayover in Amsterdam.
6- 8hrs stayover can be bearable

If you people have better flight plan for me, kindly guide and share with me.

I'll keep in touch with this forum even after landing and will share my experience with you and be the part of Sadqa e Jareya

Thanks,
Khan (apka bhai)

Good luck to you and your family Khan. I would suggest to keep winter shopping from Pakistan to as minimum as possible. Winter stuff that we have back home, no matte how good we think it is, is still not good enough for Canadian winters. Best thing would be, as soon as you land, help yourself to nearest Walmart.
Secondly, career edge is an internship program. If that's what you want then ok, otherwise use indeed.ca and workopolis.ca but LinkedIn is still the best of them all and most reliable

Thank you cknouman for your guidance.
Coz here snowboots and leather jackets good quality are too much expensive.. one for 15k rupees... or minimum 10k rupees.
Should we bring dinner set and big patela for family of 5-6?

If you are landing in Alberta, please keep one thing in mind that the jackets available in Pakistan do not with stand the cold weather of Canada. They are good upto -10 deg C but below that they usually do not provide enough protection. If you are able to find good jackets please let me know the place also.
