    Entry Visa India

    I have seen this asked here before but I don't think it was ever answered. Anyone had any success submitting surrender application and entry visa application together via purolator? If so what were your timelines for visa?

    Best place to live in Toronto/GTA for a couple (wife pregnant)

    Not sure what you mean when you say you want a 1 BHK or Condo, I'm going to assumed you're looking for a 1 bedroom apartment or condo rental. Your requirements are kind of vague, a lot of places in Toronto are close to hospitals, have good connectivity, are close to parks etc, so you'd need to...
