Yes, I do agree with you my dear. Helping others is a must for all of us... I've always believed we are a one family and helping each others is not an if..... But a Must...


I am very happy as I am at a new house... Would you believe me that I am not using a GPS? I am just driving and driving in order to know the city main streets and avenues...

God will always look upon us!!!

You are good at driving. I would be lost if not using the GPS, especially in the dark.

GPS DOES GOOD FOR A DAY OR TWO.... Then, it doesn't help you as you need to know how to get to places on your own.. I always look for the 4-5 main intersections... Then, one can go anywhere. This week, I went to Richmond Hill and Markham.. I just checked the google map...

It's not that I am good at that... It's the need my brother....

Yes, now I use google map before using my GPS, that way I would know if GPS is right or wrong.

Well GPS made my life a lot easier. Don't have to worry about any location. Its true that you don't need it after sometime but it does pays off in case you suddenly need to go somewhere.

Everyone,

20 days have passed since I did my landing and so far, things have worked out. It's not been easy, but we have achieved a lot. My three children are in school already and they are doing great... One thing I can suggest to those with children that learning English before coming to Canada it's A+...

My Full licence has arrived.. Two credit cards were approved and received... SINs have arrived. And of course, we rented a house!!! Lots of money.... But...

I am back to the country where I reside and will stay for another 5 weeks.. But NEXT weekend will go to Canada (By car) since Permanent Residence Cards will not arrived until 2 more months at least.

My wife has done a heck of a wonderful job by supporting my little ones with school issues... We have not bought a car yet so Public Transportation and taxies have been the mean to get to places when needed... Car Rental sometimes...

When it comes to food, we are trying to come up with a monthly budget...

Will continue writing

1) Well, I have asked some friends of mine, and they say it takes more than 8 weeks. As a matter of fact, the IO told me 10 weeks average....

2) Card is needed when entering BY AIR, BOAT, Comercial transportation (Bus), but.. If I rent a car or enter in a private car from the United States, COPR is fine... I ask for a travel document, then 5 weeks from now, will need to apply for another Travel Document and I don't want to take such a risk.

Canadaforall,

My Great Friend,

Thanks for writing as I have not written lately. Too many things going on... I am working with my work resignation, and some other issues here.

Canadavisa.com is a wonderful space in our lives that provided me useful information and great friends such as you. Wether you come or not, time will tell... God only knows.... I wish you all the best...

I am back to Canada after leaving two weeks ago. Yesterday, I entered by land and glad I did not have any issue with it. The IO asked me if I had applied for my PR to what I responded YES on x date and plastic is on its way... Any Alcohol or Arms... NOPE... That is it!!!

I will only stay for 4 days nd then go back. My plan is to come back to Canada the first week of November..

So far, things are going fine. Yesterday, My wife did the assestment test and got a very good score, meaning she needs to improve some skills and work on her resume...
My licence arrived 10 days ago. The only mail I am expecting is our PRC.
Guys, I must tell you that my children are doing wonderful; they are getting excelent comments from school.

Now, The main issue is to find an income and that is our next step...

Greetings
