Thanks for your response. But how about getting around within Mississauga, is a car necessary or is the public transit sufficient? Is it a pedestrian friendly city?

Hello everyone, I have a question with regards to possibly living in Mississauga - do I need a car if I live there, for both going around Mississauga and going to Toronto? Or is the public transit sufficient for moving around both within and to Toronto? Thanks

Yes you pay by credit card, and the cost will also include couriering it abroad to the address you provide them. But a small suggestion - I would suggest call them on the number they have online for people who are abroad and give them your reference number, to make sure they processed your...

Hi Mavrik, You can apply for the police report for Dubai online on their website ( I did that), and since you don't live there, you can get your fingerprints done in the UAE embassy in the country you are living in. Price etc is all mentioned on the website, it is a very straightforward...

For everyone's reference, in case someone will go through what I did, I was able to submit my passport to CHC London in person on a Monday, and receive it with my stamped visa on a Thursday morning. I had an email from my visa officer requesting that the security let me go through. Everything...

Hi Marco, I checked my 2 important appliances, and both are 220-240 volts :( So I need to get a voltage adapter. I need to figure out if I better get the adapter from Dubai or Canada. Thanks

Thanks steaky. I have an expensive appliance that I want to bring with me and it would be expensive to replace. So I think for this appliance in specific it would be worth to buy a voltage adapter? Are they easily found in Canada?

Thanks steaky for your quick response. Do you know if getting a voltage adapter would work? I would imagine it is cheaper to get an adapter than buy new appliances? Would it also work for long term use? Thanks again

Dear all, A quick question - will electronic items ( hair straighteners, laptops..etc) that work in Dubai are of the same voltage as in Canada? If not, can I get a voltage adapter that will make them work in Canada? Can someone tell me what the voltage adapters specifications need to be? Many...

Hi everyone, Just for an update from my last post, I submitted my passport @ CHC London in person on a Monday and received it on a Thursday. That was exceptional because my visa expires soon. CHC Staff were extremely helpful, and I can't believe it went so smooth - got the visa in 4 days! Good...

Hi Chintu, Thanks for your reply. Yes the email from CHC London says I need to submit the passport ASAP, and if submitting in person, I need to show the email to the person @ reception. Will try my luck! But if anyone has any insights/faced a similar experience, please let me know! I would...

Hi Chintu, Thanks! Yes my timings are absolutely tight. I am flying to London to submit my passport in person, I am worried couriering it might take longer. I have a question I asked here in the forum but no one seems to have faced this before, in CHC's email to me they said I need to submit my...

Hi all, I received my Passport request today from CHC London. I have done my medicals June 2010, so my timings are pretty tight! I will submit my passport in person next week. Maryam

Ok thanks Cappuccino. I would've assumed that I can only submit on Thursday, but in their email to me, they mentioned that if I am submitting in person, I should show the email they sent me to the person on reception, so that's why I got confused. Hmmm.

Thanks canadaforall. I am going to submit it in person, but I need to know if they will accept it any day, or do I still have to submit it on a Thursday?

Dear all, I received my passport request from CHC London. In their email to me, they said I need to submit it ASAP since my visa expires soon ( June end), and if I am submitting in person I need to show this email to the person at the reception to understand the urgency. They don't say though if...
