New Delhi Visa Office - Applicants - FSW: 2009

Hi Prixit

Nice to hear from you.

As far as amount is concerned, there is no minimum or maximum.

Visa debit card is safe, but on the longer run you must open a Bank account in any of the Canadian banks to start your transactions.

1. Carry money in the form of Travelers cheques and some cash (within limits permitted by Indian Customs).
2. On landing I walked into a nearby bank, and deposited my cheques and cash. Got an ATM card from them and started using it.
3. Please note, the Travelers Cheques or Draft on depositing might take anywhere between 7 to 21 business days to be cleared.
4. You must check with the bank first in person before depositing, as to how long do they take to clear overseas drafts/TCs.
5. We may not be in a position to wait for 21 working days to get our money, so it gives you a choice to go with that bank or not.
6. I would suggest go with a bank which transfers your money within a short time.
7. I do not have much information about Calgary.
8 To my knowledge any job will pay not less than 10.25 (Ten dollars and Twenty Five cents) per hour, that's the minimum wage.
9. Getting a job depends on a variety of factors such as the location, condition of the job market, etc.
10. Job market is slightly better now.

Thanks
Madhava

I hate her, I have gone to her three times and she acts so b-----. I always refer our clients to Asha Behl. SHe is far much better, Malkit Law and her staff are so rude.

I Agreee with you. Please avoid Dr Malkit Law. She is extremely Rude, sarcastic and lacks the basic ethics requried by doctors.The looks that she gives you is certainly to  makes you feel comletely unwanted and inferior in her clinic.I had a very bad experience interacting with her for my Australia Visa medical checks. I woudlnt even go to her for a basic medical test ever again, it is as if she makes you feel that the entire visa decision is in her hands and we are completely dependant on her.

Even the temporary worker program rules have changed. This makes it more difficult to enter Canada. You may check it on this Migrating to Canada site.

while waiting ... start to prepare for landing and settlement. you may check information sites such as migrating to canada for these kind of info. remember, preparation would be the key for your smooth transition.
