Dear Forum Friends,
AOA

Just wanted to share with you all with immense pleasure, Alhamdulillah I have received today (23rd Jan) the passports of the entire family stamped with Visas.

"Masha'Allah Ghar walay thund program hain", came back to home from office an hour ago and came to know that a TCS parcel was delivered at 2.30 Pm today against cash 315/- payment. "Kamal hay bhai agar ½ kilo sabzi aur bacho kay pampers magany hotay hay to call per calls kartay hain aur aaj farmaya kay aap kay to parcel aatay he rehtay ab kis kis kay per call karain"

Desperately opened the parcel and found all the four passports with Visas, Four COPR's forms with along with Immunizations forms each for both the kids. Anyways all is well that ends well.

Insha Allah hope to depart from Karachi to Toronto on 9th of Feb as the Visas/ Medicals are valid till 13th Feb.

I wish rest of the forum members all the very best!

I owe a lot to a lot to the forum members for their whole hearted support and valuables suggestions. Hope & wish to reciprocate other friends on the forum as well so that this good show of cooperation and support continues for the mutual benefit of all.

Regards,
HAK

How to obtain Canadian driving licence for Pakistanis immigrating from Pakistan to Canada

This procedure is for Ontario province though other provinces have more or less same rules

In Pakistan we have Right hand drive vehicles but in Canada they have left hand drive vehicles so some training may be needed to adjust road conditions.


Which Canadian category licence we can get

1. If we have over 24 months 'Pakistani' driving experience -we can get the Ontario full G Driving License.
2. If we have over 12 months [but less than 24] Pakistani driving experience -we can get the Ontario G2 Driving License.
3. If we have less than 12 months Pakistani experience or no experience we can get the Ontario G1 license.
4. In any case we will be required to complete a vision test and pass the knowledge test


Step-1 -Before we 'Land':

1. We must obtain a "No objection Certificate" (NOC) from the country's Roads & Transport Authority, explaining our D/License stating how old our license is and how much driving experience we have from Pakistan.


Step-2 -The Tests to take:

If we have over 24 months experience

Based on the over 24 months Authentication Letter (NOC)

1. We will need to pass the vision test and knowledge test.
2. we will need to attempt the G2 Road test.
3. If we pass the G2 Test, we will get the full G license.

If we only have 12-24 months letter


1. We will need to pass the vision test and knowledge test.
2. we will need to attempt the G1 Road Test.
2. Upon successfully passing the G1 road test we will get the G2 driving license.
3. With a G2 license there is a wait period of 12 months and then we can take a G2 road test.
4. If we pass G2 test we will get full G licence.

If we have less than 12 months letter or no experience at all

1. We will need to pass the vision test and knowledge test.
2. If we pass we will get G1 license.
3. With G1 license there is a wait period of 12 months after which we can take G1 test to get G2 license.
4. With a G2 license there is a wait period of 12 months after which we can take a G2 road test.
5. If we pass G2 test we will get full G licence.


The License Grading Explained [G1, G2 & G]:


G1 licence

By law, when you have a G1 licence, you must:

Maintain a zero blood alcohol level (no alcohol in your blood)
Make sure every passenger with you wears a properly working seatbelt
Not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
Not drive on 400-series highways or high-speed expressways (e.g., 401, Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW), Gardiner Expressway)
Drive with a fully licensed driver who has:
At least four years of driving experience
A blood alcohol level of less than .05 (if this person is 21 and under, their blood alcohol level should be zero).
The driver accompanying you must be the only other person in the front seat. If you are driving with a driver instructor certified in Ontario, you can drive on any road.



[size=10pt]G2 Licence[/size]

You can now drive:

Without another experienced driver in the car
On all Ontario roads
At any time of the day, in most cases.
You must still:

Have a zero blood alcohol level
Carry only as many passengers as there are working seatbelts.
If you are 19 and under, some other restrictions still apply.



[size=10pt]-G License is the 'full fledged' driving license. [/size]

Hi!

1. Yes it is perfectly fine.
2. I am from Islamabad. No ideaa about Karachi. You can post your question here as many people must be knowing it.

Thanks

 

[canada1234]

Thankyou bro for updating about current...


Can you share the idea about PR card, whats the procedure, Shall we apply for it at airport ?

When you land in Canada the immigration officer at airport will fill the form on your behalf. Make sure that you have printed address with you where you are going to stay. IO will ask about address.

 

[canada1234]

Congratz for the safe landing brother..

You have confined everything very properly about new life in Canada. I too sometimes get tired of their tax system and expensive shopping.
For proper warm clothing and crockery, I suggest you to stay in touch with their big brand names and their "Out of business/Closing outlet" sales.. It really helped us when we got here earlier.. 50% to 70% OFF was big help at Sears and Walmart.
What kind of job you are doing right now? Friends in Toronto tell me that $11.+ job is somehow a good job there, but here in Calgary, people usually dont consider these kind of jobs as living is expensive in Alberta.

I too worked at Shell outlet for a week for $11.50 but left as it was tiring and I wasn't able to study after job hours.
Mostly newcomers become Security professional after their arrival as it is much easier job with good pay. I suggest you to take its exam and get the Security Professional License just to get rid of other odd jobs, so your kitchen will be safe.

Stay blessed~

Hi mythestic. Yeah for the time being the job is good. It's an american company has 350 stores world wide US, Australia, India. Here in Toronto it has distribution center near downtown.
