"DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

[bijupv007]

Please be advised that some nationalities need a transit visa to the UK if you are going on BA. For example, Egyptians will need a visa even if they remain in the arrival lounge of the airport without passing through immigration control and departing on another flight from the same airport
"From 3rd April 2012 Egyptian nationals will no longer benefit from the transit without visa arrangements when transiting through the UK"

Thanks for the info buddy

Hope ur having a great time

@ Friends,

By the grace of Almighty, we (the family) did our Medicals yesterday in Dubai's health bay- Had taken the appointment a week earlier-but generally 3-4 days are required.
We arrived 20 minutes earlier than the stipulated time - and Prior to yesterday- we were all drinking a lot of water (like a Fish!)

The staff was really very friendly. We had these handy--3 Photos, Original Passports, Original Med form that was recd from CHC.

The following tests were conducted:-

1. Blood Pressure Check
2. Urine Test
3. Blood Test
4. Eye Vision (with glasses if we use)
5. Height and Weight
6. General Check by the Physician (Ear/Throat/Neck/Back/Ankles/Breathing Check with Stethoscope) etc.
7. Questions were asked-Whether suffering from any ailment/any surgery done/any history of Hypertension/Diabetes) etc.

We were through in 1+ hour but because the main Doctor (who is also a Pediatrician) was extremely busy (with Mothers and infants), we were held up for an extra 2 + hours --so total it took 3.5 hours!. Must say were relieved after the visit.

The cost was 695/- AED each Adult with 120/- AED as courier charge (which can be paid by Cash/Credit Card). The processing will be done in 5-7 days and will be forwarded through T N T.

Hope the above information is helpful to relevant members.

Best Wishes,

Bestpal

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?

1) Im not sure about the Health Insurance in Vancouver, but here in Ontario, once you applied for Health Insurance, it takes up 3 months to received the card and be able to use it.
2) Once you come here, you have to apply for G1 (which is written exam), next step apply for G2 (road test) and apply for G, it's not automatically that you get G. You still have to pay each test to get it.
3) going across the border to any USA states requires USA Visit Visa, unless you have those passports that visa on arrival.

Hi,

Pls read this:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/cheapest-best-phone-internet-in-canada-t93418.0.html

That internet is by far the cheapest in Canada [$42.99/month]... and the homephone is the most cost-effective one. Unfortunately u'd not be able to take 'only' the internet as it's permitted only to the homephone subscriber. However, the homephone can be taken as standalone.

1. MSP [Medicare] has mandatory wait pds in BC. Which is the bal of month + 2 months. Pls see the link below.
2. With a Dxb-LOA [of 2-yrs] u r permitted one chance to get "direct 'G", all wait pds r waived. Else, u can take the G2 & then G anytime.
3. Unless u r from a 'visa-exempt' nation -- u'd require US visitor's visa to enter the US. Canadian PRs have no spl concession.

Note: As of July 1, 2012, CIC has temporarily stopped accepting applications for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). This temporary pause does not apply to those with a qualifying job offer or applying under the PhD stream. We will likely start accepting applications again when the revised FSWP selection criteria take effect. Proposed FSWP changes should come into force in early 2013.
