Hi Qorax,

Firstly,  we would like to thank you for all the information which you generously have shared and continue to share with us all. GOD bless you.

I have a question regarding public transportation in Mississauga and Toronto. I hope you'd be able to help us understand. I learn that there is Go Transit and TTC. Both have their own ticket and fares. What I don't understand is what the difference between these two companies? And is there no one type of ticketing (weekly/ monthly passes) which we can purchase to use it at both Companies?

For example, for regular trip from Studio 6 Mississauga going to downtown Toronto. From Mississauga takes MiWay (another different transport Company) to Cooksville Go train station and take Milton train service to Union train station (director is from Google map).  Is that mean I have to purchase GTA weekly pass (for MiWay) & Go transit monthly pass?

Thank you and look forward for your reply

The Subway, Busses, Street Cars, Trains, Transits CONFUSION

Hi,
It's a common confusion that most ppl have regarding these transportation services... let me try & make it clear to u:

The "Transits":
The 'transits' r "city" arranged ['city' means 'Municipality' here] 'mass & rapid transportation system'. These actually comprises of the 'bus services', which each city in the GTA has separately organized. For eg. Mississauga has 'MiWay', Brampton has two - the 'Brampton Transit' & the 'Zum', while Toronto has the 'TTC' [Toronto Transit Corporation]. Each r independent of the other - thus, has its own 'fare system'... 'coz, basically they cater to their cities only.

Unlike Mississauga & Brampton, the TTC also comprises of 'busses', 'subway' [metro rail] & 'street car' [trams]. Thus, the TTC has 'one' ticketing system. A tkt of TTC is valid for all the 3 mode of transportation.

Now, each of the 'transits' reach at least one location of either of the cities. That is, MiWay would reach a location of Toronto - from where a Mississauga resident can 'board' the TTC. Similarly TTC reaches a location of Brampton or Mississauga - and ditto for the Brampton Transit.

Thus, there is 'inter-communicability'. And there r locations, where all the 3 transits merge... has one terminus... eg. Malton-Mississauga. Here, TTC, Brampton Transit & MiWay - all the 3 ends & commences. This place is a unique residential point... having a terminus of all the 3 transits. No wonder many newcomers end-up residing here - at least in the initial settling yrs.

Go Train:
The Go-Train is a 'long-distance' full train service. It is not a MRTS [Mass Rapid Transportation System]. It's a 'train service' like anywhere else in the world. And run by its own corporation. But, is run only in Ontario.

The Go-Train has many stations inside the Toronto City metro - as well as in Brampton & Mississauga. Many could thus, use it too for inter-city travel - in the GTA - for office/shopping/sight-seeing. But, it's frequency is limited - not like the 'transits'. Nonetheless, it's frequency in the office hrs. is shade higher - for obvious reasons. It also runs its own 'busses' - which run along the Go-Stns to nearby localities. However, it is not like the 'transits'... that is to say, the Go-Busses will not be available in every nook & corner of the city... unlike the 'transits' - which will be everywhere.

Via Rail:
There is another 'train service', which runs 'TransCanada', ie. the "Via Rail". This is something akin to Go-Train, but runs along all the provinces - near & far - remotest of the corners. Again managed by a separate corporation.

Daily, Weekly & Monthly Passes:
Each of the transportation mode above have their 'passes' - some daily too... but surely for the week & month [TTC has it's 'Weekend Pass' - a boon to the residents of the GTA]. However, they being independent bodies, catering to their own city market - it's not linked to one another. Thus, if one must take 2 transits - s/he will have to buy 2 separate passes. Which is why, most ppl reside in either of the hubs... wherein, they car-pool, ride, walk, bus or drive to the 'longest travelled transit' - have it's pass & use that to work.

I hope I have made the matter a tad clearer!

Hello Captain,
I think you addressed the issue of Tax Returns in one of your threads, which I can't locate.
Will be very helpful if some one can point out the thread as I am an recent immigrant facing the tax returns for the first time.

Brother,

I haven't seen the SV forms - so I might not be able to assist u there. However, in my opinion the costs that u have to mention in the forms would be the 'total ones' -- for the entire course duration. And that should include the fees, boarding & lodging too.

Sponsoring your family:
Other Eligible Relatives - Who can apply?

For sponsoring relatives, we need to move their apps under Family Class. This class has two [2] sub strata... 1.Direct Relatives [spouse/children], 2.Other eligible Relatives [this is what we r talking about here].

Who can be sponsored
You can sponsor:
• Parents
• Grandparents
• Brothers/sisters, nephews/nieces, granddaughters/grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 & not married or in a CL relationship
• Another relative of any age or relationship but only under specific conditions (see Note below)
• Accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).

Note: you can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.

Who cannot be sponsored
Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.

Dear Qorax:

I applied for FSW: Code 3131 in February 2011. My C.C. was charged three days after the documents were received by CIO. Actually i was not able to send a reference letter as required by the VO but i had attached the experience letter which the company gave me when i left the job. I have applied on the basis of that job. i called that company for the reference letter but they said that the one they gave is their fixed format and they don't entertain individual request but they said to send a request to Human resources dept. Last week i received a reference letter from that company as required by VO. Now shall i send that letter to CIO since i had attached a letter in my application explaining that the company is not entertaining individual requests. If your answer is yes, what would be the best time to send it and what would b the procedure to send it. I am worried because my Job description is nowhere on the experience letter i had send and also on my contract with my company which i had also send.

Hi,

W/out that JD u might run into trouble... as u said, 'your exp letter & contract doesn't describe it'. However, w/out a file No. it'd also become extremely difficult for u/them to 'link' your repeat submission to the original file. Nonetheless, IMHO, u must take a chance... send a 'certified true copy' of it asap to CIO - under a cover letter. This is the best I could think of.

In any case, once u have your PER, send it again to your VO.

All the best!
