ok guys here u go,i left home very late(it is proper to get to the airport one hour before your trip) x got to the airport rather too late but i still went through the normal airport procedures.i boarded klm at 21.50,had a stop at kano airport to pick some other passengers.after some few minutes,we left kano x headed to amsterdam.the journey was smooth,6hours there about.got to amsterdam 05.55 in the morning,we left amsterdam at 13.30 x landed in toronto 15.50,it was a long trip to toronto from amsterdam.we got from the plane some minutes later x our first pt of call was the arrival hall where an immigration officer checked our passports x asked us how much we came with(he didnt even check whether we had the said amount),then he asked whether we came with foodstuff x i said yes.we spent less than 5mins with him.he passed us to the immigration section where we were asked to present our landing papers x passports.she asked us to sign x directed us to another guy,he gave us some forms to fill x asked us to move on to another lady.she gave us gifts from canadian government which included a bag.then we went to pick our bags x waited for our turn to see a custom officer.verything took less 15mins,they were very nice to us throughout.am staying presently in london ontario which is abt 2hrs from the airport.i got a shuttle bus fron the airport to london for $126 for the three of us.it was very cold that night,btw -30 x -40.it is indeed a beatiful country.cheers

Soj,

Been off-forum for a while.
Big congrats my brother.
We shall be consulting you from time to time for advices plus information and hoping you won't charge us consultation fees.

-30 degrees? That's 'freezingly' cold, how the family coping with the sudden transition?

All the best bros

You are welcome back Yemkik.
Soj, does the flight fee cover your new baby or just you and your wife?

Hi soj,

I guess you have to get along with the severe weather and I'll advise you eat garlic to counter the harsh effect of it.  I have some enquiries i'd like to make but i think i'll allow you get yr feet on ground first.   You and tito are going to be our Joseph in that land.

Later.
