Hi everybody,

We would highly appreciate feedback from seniors / recently settled desis on the following points: ( i request updated info again as answers from much previous years discussions such as in 2006 to 2010 would be not valid now)


1. I intend to catch a cab from YYZ and travel to my cousins place at Mississauga: what is the best option?? i land at noon time :-)))


2. which travel medical insurance I should be taking. We are a small family 2 adults + 1 kid. We ant to place safe for the 3 months cover in which the insurance company backs us up if incase there is any medical care required

3. Also, how good are the schools for Burnhamthorpe / Living of Arts/ Webb Drive residents or should I seek another locality....pls advice. Kindly advice on school name also.

4. How is TD bank service & timings at Mississauga - square one mall area?? Do they provide lockers for all inclusive plan members??? Which branch is the safest to maintain a locker, if one is staying in square 1 mall area?

5. Finally, is it easy in moving into an unfurnished apartment, as i intend to buy the basic furniture and opt for an economical unfurnished 1+Den condo. I dont want to a burden on any relative, therefore on mls have already shortlisted a fe w places and hope to move into 1 within a week of landing. What is the rent I should go for with 1 +enclosed Den + living with open kitchen and balcony+ 1 parking + 1 locker (if available) - w/o hydro, cable & furnishing?

Kindly do take the time and provide your feedback


Bless you all and we pray luck shines on all of us not forgetting the many who are sincerely waiting to come to this wonderful place


Lets ork hard and make all our dreams come true...

1) There a lot of cabs at the airport, no problems there.

2) Check the policy see if it works for you and your needs.

3) All of the school systems use the same curriculum. That being said different schools do better based of the social make up of the area. Unfortunately. I don;t know that area well enough to help you

4) TD has the most convenient hours of all of the big banks in Canada. The safe deposit boxes are all going to be safe. The problem might the branch having any left. I had to go to a different branch from my home branch to get one because they were all sold out at my home branch.

5) Rents vary greatly depending on where you live. I am guessing you're going to be over 1200 dollars. Cable starts at about 60 a month. Basic furnishings check Ikea.
