Hey guys, I'm flying to Toronto on Aug 11 by Lufthansa and I have a few questions...responses from Qorax, PMM and other senior members would be helpful.
1. After the initial landing process is over, and if I travel let's say to the USA and then re-enter Canada, do I still need to show the proof of funds again for my second and any subsequent entries...or is it just a one time procedure??
2. After landing, can I immediately go to the service offices for my SIN card? Can I immediately work, if I find job, with just a SIN and not the card??
3. What is the process of applying for medical insurance provided by the province..in may case, Ontario?
4. I have a valid California Driver's License, will this alone let me be able to drive in Ontario?
5. I have an excellent credit history in the USA, can this be helpful in attaining a credit card from a Canadian Bank...or will I have to build up a credit history all over again?? If I do, how can I do that..i was thinking, probably to get a cellphone connection by depositing some money and subsequently making regular payments, to help build credit..
6. Is it better to rent a room, basement or an apartment, for newcomers? although I'll be staying with a relative for 2 weeks, I wanna make sure I have a good place to stay at.
7. How far is toronto from Brampton? Is Brampton a good place to live at??
8. Is there anybody in thois forum who'll be in Toronto or Brampton,I'll need all the support possible.
Thanks guys..
