Thanks Qorax, hope to see you all soon sometime. Cheers Sanjn

Hi Guys, I landed yesterday finally. The process took fairly long (little over 3 hrs) mainly because of the number of people in queue. Came frm dxb via frankfurt on LH but I think an Air India flight landed a few minutes after ours did .. hence the long queue. Brought all the POF in cash (after...

You need to apply for your PR card as soon as you land (preferable at the airport itself). Cheers Sanjn

Many in these forums ( if you go thru various threads) have got their passport request by email. So I suppose you should just send it to them. Have they sent you the additional form for details of all included in the application ( first name, last name etc)? I had to send that along with the...

Ya TNT said the same thing to me. Also, I did not like the idea of signing that letter, because after all a courier should atleast have confidence in their service! Told them to cancel the the pickup. Called others (aramex,fedex,ups etc) and chose fedex(cheapest i got at that time, and very...

Avoid Air India .. there are so many options these days, though you may get better prices from air india. But they're totally unreliable. It's a long journey so better have peace of mind. If you're travelling alone, then the price difference may make sense but I would avoid it. Cheers, Sanjn

Thanks a lot boss. Any idea about the SIN card? I have an old one from BC. Do I need to take another one or just update the address on this one? Cheers, Sanjn

Hi Qorax, I have an expired BC DL (expired in 2003). I do have an UAE DL for 12 yrs and am planning on taking the authentication letter from RTA before I land. Do you suppose I can get a license in Ontario in like 10 days? will they recognise the expired BC license? I also have a SIn card from...
