Hi all, My girlfriend is recently divorced, over 35 years with two children (5 and 8 yrs), all the red flags NOT to get a student visa. She also does not have a travel history. We are aware that it is really difficult for such profile to get a visa. I would love to hear from someone who has...

if you do airbnb or room share or basements, its easier because you dont have to show much documents. Also they could be short term so you are not bound for 1 year. The only problem is that the accommodation might not be nice and sometimes a bit too far away from downtown

Hi all, Bought our tickets yesterday. We will be landing on Toronto on 1st Jan. Easy date to remember. Do we need to buy health insurance prior to landing? Or after landing? Anyone has any suggestions on the health insurance they have bought?

perfect..that thread explains everything...thanks

I have read that we need to create items lists (2 copies) of what we bring when we land. Is there any sample / detailed documentation available. Do we have to write down every single details like trousers x3 , shirts x 4 or can we just write personal clothings, camera, laptops etc. It says...

The best way would be to make some Canadian Friends. Even if you do not have immediate friends, I am sure you can find some mutual friends of friends that you can trust. You can also pay them some money and also promise them to pay some money when you return back. I guess "normal" people...
