First things first: Get a job, get the PR card, purchase a house and a car, enroll in further studies, sponsor the rest of my family in Pakistan for immigration/supervisa to Canada...

Other things I look forward to doing: CN Tower Edge Walk, Northern Lights, Niagara Falls, hiking in the scenic valleys of British Columbia...

InshAllah :D ;D :) 8)

I still can't believe that is a thing... I'm 30 (female) and ready to have kids... Really don't want to raise kids in the UK so hoping to get to Canada and start a family. Not right away, at least 1 year of working and snowboarding first. :p

Thats a typical Pakistani Dream :)
We always have to go back and support our family. One of the key things to consider prior to moving.
I guess you have got ITA. Congrats

Yeah, that was my dream one year ago, but after waiting for so long my husband and I decided there is no point in keeping our life on hold any longer. So now we are expecting a baby and although we were hoping to have it in Canada, we're ready to just go along with whatever happens.

It seems like I've wasted all these years living in Canada cuz I've never done most of the things mentioned by you guys (except for ordering iced cap...). Should cherish my time better...Who knows if I could stay here forever for the rest of my life or not...

The first things that I did were

- Trying to get a Canadian power adapter PIN to get my Indian phone and laptop to get working (I got this in dollar store)
- Get a bike because walking to get groceries and supplies were a killer
- Tried to get a prepaid phone connection.. really the rest of the tasks needed me to call people

Relishing Canada was not on top of my mind before I got supplies nailed down for my family. We did get our first timmies meal at the airport and I got my first double-double one morning in the first few days when I was trying to get a free WIFI to send a mail across.

Now we are 6 months in.. and already ticked off most of the things in thread. Canada is awesome! :)

Browsed through the entire thread.. it made me happy too. These are the most interesting ideas:


kryt0n said:
Go straight to Alberta or the Rockies. Order poutine. Go driving and looking for bears. Order a double double at Tim Hortons.

I've done these things. It'll be the first thing I do again when I get back there.

I'd love to see the Northern lights first...
I'm really looking forward to that part :D
rusticdud said:
I will get me a US visitor visa and do a road trip from Vancouver to Prudhoe Bay Alaska
For me it's also Alberta, Alaska and Northarn lights.. but also a game for Toronto Maple Leafs and one for Toronto FC (for Giovinco). Then I'd like a good coffee at Tim Horton's and a good Alice Monroe book in my hands. And last lots of pan cakes with maple syrup.
