Thanks, have you experienced landing in Canada?

Not yet. I'm landing in March, inshaAllah. When are you planning to move?

Only PIA offers direct flight to Toronto. But there are always question marks over their service. Someone I know recently travelled via Etihad Airways and the flight time including layover was 21 hours with a much better service. I'm planning to get the tickets in the coming week after checking expenses and flight duration.

Hi Noor, Many congrats on ur PPR

Firstly congrats on receiving PPR. Regarding CHC Islamabad, they have been very inconsistent with their timelines in the past. There are people who got theirs in 60 days and those who got their passports back in a week. I submitted my passport on 1st November and got it back on 22nd November. So really, you can just hope that you don't have to wait long enough.

Hi Abid,

I guess u have received ur PPR so accept my congratulations

Thanks s.tamoor,

I was requested it on 07-Jul-2017 - MR + RPRF + PCC + Additional Doc. requested. Since then it has been exactly 6 months to receive PPR i.e. on 08-Jan-2018.

Please let me know which airline you would choose and its expenses too. We are 2 members + 1 infant planned to travel in coming March, IA. We are looking for a better airline that offers a direct flight.
