Landed in Toronto.

[mahharrouf]

Good day guys,

I made a successful landing yesterday with grace of God and best wishes of you all. Thanks to every one who helped me during this long process.

We landed 11:00 AM by AirCanada. There was a small line for first passport check. Immigration Officer on counter checked our passports and visas, then pointed us towards an other section specifically for New Immigrants. There the officer asked us ( me and wife) how tall we are, how much money we have and address (which I already had printed ), that's all. No other questions were asked neither Officer asked us to show the money. We were told that PR card will be arriving within 4 - 6 weeks. Next we moved towards Canadian Border Agency, officer asked us how much money we are bringing and that's all. We tried to show him/stamp our hard made accompanying goods list but he refused and said this list is only for the people who have good to follow and that's all. We were done within 20 minutes as there were only us and another couple back to us. Next we went to collect our luggage,  I was unable to find Checks to Coins machine but the guys just next to trollies will change you Canadian Dollar check into coins but only for trollies  We changed $5 and took 2 trollies, collected our luggage and went to custom clearance, they again asked for money and if any goods to follow, that's it. They didn't check our luggage etc. We were out within 45 minutes.

Weather is warmer then where we came from, in Lima we had 12-16 while Toronto have 21. Its a great country with great people, everywhere people are cooperative, ready to help you.

We already booked safehomestay,  they owner was there to pick us. We made mistake and went another place instead the placed advised but just one call and the guy Thomas was there to pick us. It's a great place, safe and with great owner, in true means you won't feel you are far from home. So I will highly recommend you guys who have no one here for your first couple of weeks. That's all, Monday is holiday here too, so we can't do any thing until Tuesday. I Will share experience about Home, Job and so on as soon as I arrived to that step.

Once again thanks to every one, if you have any question on landing etc, feel free to ask. Wish a good luck to all who are waiting, I was on same place as you some months ago. Now its your term and soon you guys will share your landing experience so good luck guys, my best wishes and prayers are with you all.

Cheers!
