Thanks for the link... I will look into that.

Hi. I'm wondering if there is a law about 2 people living in a bachelor/studio apartment in Toronto? It will be me and my 10 yo son who will be staying there. We are new immigrants and wanted to save as much as we can until I get a job. Oh, and if there is anybody here who can recommend a place...

Hello everyone... we got through with no issues. We were asked to go to the immigration office for questions with the things that we were bringing in. Just be honest with answering all of the officers' questions. The officers were very nice and polite. For all those in the same situation as me...

Thank you everyone for the responses and advice. I will also update this thread of my experience. Thanks again! ;)

Thank you so much for the reassurance. :) I have another question, if you don't mind. Do they ask for the address where we will be staying? Do I have to provide an address of a home (like a friend or relative) or is the address of the hotel we will be staying at good enough? We'll be staying at...

Thank you for that. I still have this nervous feeling of being denied entry. I hope there isn't going to be much questioning in the border.

Yup, I didn't get it right away. It took them a while to send it. I am just nervous of them not allowing me to enter the country because of that.

I'm sorry about the date. It's May 2016...

Hi everyone. I need your advice especially those who have experienced this. I am a PR in Canada since Oct 2010 but only only stayed in Canada for a week after landing then another few weeks a year after. I have been out for so long and stayed in US to work. Now that my US visa is expiring, I...

We have completed our landing process last sunday. I would like to say (a huge) THANKS to Qorax, Mari_cd and all those who have patiently answered all my queries and also to those who continue to reply to my current questions. This forum has greatly helped us with our preparations! Again THANK...

lol! Yeah! I noticed that almost everything here in Canada is more expensive than in the US. I didn't want to buy any clothes yet because I learned that the sales tax here in ON is 13%! By the way, when you got your DL, did you do an exchange and surrendered your US DL?

Thank you for your patience in answering my questions. :) I just made the payment to RIV. I'm just curious though. When i complete the registration/inspections process, aside from the insurance, should I also present an Ontario drivers license or does is matter? if ever, can I use my US DL as...

Thank you for enlightening me about this. I just got confused. Then the office told me to wait for a letter from the RIV within 10 days for the inspection form. She didn't tell me about the RIV fee. It's confusing :). I have another question... when I checked online for the list of cars...

Hi! I'm just glad to have found this thread. We just landed in Ontario on sunday and at the border we registered our car. The officer informed us that we are not going to pay any fees for all our stuff including the car because as first time settlers we are excempt from import fees (unlike...

Qorax, Thank you so much! I have good news for you... We have successfully "landed" in Ontario and the border officers were greatly impressed with the list I made and all because of your help! Again Thank you very much!

Thanks Qorax! I already made my goods to follow list. I have another question that you or anybody might know the answer... Since we are just completing our landing requirements but not staying in Canada, we are only going to bring clothes, cellphones, camera, and some of my son's toys and...

Hi Qorax. Your post has been a really great help to us. Thank you! I have some questions though, Can I write in the list 6 boxes of clothes or do I have to list like, 12 pairs of jeans etc? For books, should i list all books individually or just write 10 computer books? or can I write 1 box...

Kami din, kahit dumating na ung opportunity dito sa US habang nag-iintay ng results sa canada application eh, nagdecide pa din na ituloy nung nag-send na sila ng notice na ipa-process na nila ung application at kung gusto pa namin ituloy. mahirap, walang kasiguraduhan din dito sa US until may...

Yup that was what i was thinking too. I'll just have my friend mail it to us when it arrives.

thanks a lot mari! :)
