Congratulations! Wishing you all the best.Hi everyone.
We landed in Montreal June 28th and did ALL our landing formalities there. Yeah. Even without the CSQ. Next morning flew into St Johns, Newfoundland which was our final destination. Immigration officer said we had done everything needed to be done in Montreal and said her bit of Welcome to Canada, Congratulations on your permanent residency.
Processed our SIN and MCP cards the next day. Opened a bank account and gotten a new sim. Everything a breeze. You can open a US dollar account to deposit your USD. DO NOT SHOW ANYONE IN THE BANK THAT YOU HAVE UP TO 10000 USD!!!!
Your USD can be changed in the bank at prevailing rates.
You can always google for reviews on banks, mobile carriers etc for the informed decisions.
Our KNORR CUBES( 15 packets) AND SHEA BUTTER WERE DESTROYED. Our Ogbono and Egusi were percussed to the point of spillage and scattering in the bag. Be warned. A paper was inserted into the bag informing us of what happened. This was at the Montreal airport because paper was written in French.
Palm oil is not allowed from the Nigerian airport.
Canada is expensive. YOU WILL CONVERT TO NIGERIAN NAIRA TIRE. Be prepared to spend.
Toh. Shikena. God bless us.
Please just to confirm, did you book your flight to Newfoundland before leaving Nigeria? What is csq? I plan am planning to fly to Montreal before proceeding to Ontario, however I hear we can't land in Quebec and people are advising me to go to Ontario straight. Please clarify. Thanks!
