congratulations to all who got their applications processed and may all of you get visas soon.

Friends we all want to live happily in Canada, and I too live in Canada, it's really beautiful. I love the climate and the behaviour of people towards us. It's amazing and is a nice experience for me.

I am here to bring your attention to a serious problem that many face and that is pests like bed bugs. we often choose a room there that is infested with them. Bed bugs can make life problematic and one can develop swelling when they bite. These are nocturnal creatures that suck human blood and give birth to their young ones. A female can lay upto 200 eggs in a short period and you can imagine how fast they can spread. In Canada due to cold weather most of the houses have a fixed carpet on the floor in which they easily live and grow. Moreover heated buildings(due to cold conditions all buildings have a heater) provide them an ideal condition for growing.

I just want you all to be safe and wise in making a selection of the room and instead of blindly choosing a room on rent. One must enquire the other room partners or neighbours openly about the presence or absence of bed bugs. What you can do is that instead of bringing your luggage immediately in a room, you should look carefully for them (images can be seen on google), like inspect the mattress and beds carefully and the carpet too. If you don't find them and you report to the landlord after you moved in then it is you who is going to be in trouble and have to pay for their eradication but some good landlords may spray insecticide in your room for free. :)

Never buy used clothes, beds and furniture. It's expensive to buy a bed here and we often look for cheap furnitures. Never buy them who knows the person selling it to you has bed bugs in his home.


I just want you to be safe and aware of this fact before you move into Canada and book a room. stay safe and fit and do read about their control and methods of eradication. It's not hard to kill them and one just need precuations for the same. I didn't mean to frighten you but just want to create awareness about bed bugs.

Hi friends,
I have 3 questions -
1) After landing in Vancouver I will be there for 3 weeks.How much time will it take for me to get the Health Insurance?
2) If I apply for G2 license and get it,then if I stay outside the country for 6 months,and come back after that will I get the G license ?
3) Since I am in Vancouver,going across the border to Seattle will be easy after the PR card?Do I still need US VIsa if I have PR Card to go across to Seattle?
 
Hi Friends,

I received my GCMS notes. Based on notes & my observation i have noted that when ever address appear/disappear from e-case. There is some movement inside VO for our file.

Hi Anshuman,

You are absolutely correct!! To add some points on what you said:

1) Most of Toronto is affected by bed bugs but sub-urbs should be OK. Never buy any items sold by individuals which might cause the pests to enter into your house.
2) People here may not like to get their privacy disturbed. You cannot just knock their door and start talking to them. We know that this happens in India. It is not a wise idea to knock the neighbors door and start talking to them before you are planning to move in!! There are other sources that you can look for. You can talk to the building management and check if there is a pest control practice in place and etc.
3) If the landlord gave you a house that is not in a good condition to live as agreed during lease, With in 30 days you have the right to vacate the place without any conditions. Landlord cannot object you. There is a tenet control board here where you can complain. FYI.

Thanks,
satya.

1) I don't know about Vancouver. But, if its Ontario, it is not possible to do so. You have to be in the country for at least 3 months to apply for health card.
2) I believe so. Because, When you apply for G, they dont ask whether you were in the country or not. Also, keep in mind that there is a driving license exchange program with few countries. If its USA, you can get a G license directly.. provided your current license is at least 2 years old. If it is India, You can get an abstract from DL office and you can get a G2 directly. Most importantly, you dont have to wait for a Year to get G license.
3) Only Citizens of canada can enter into USA without US visa. I hope you understand.

Thanks,
satya.
