Hello... All friends/seniors in Toronto.!!

Is it worthwhile to bring unlocked iPhone there in terms of cost effectiveness? Is it wise to buy one in Dubai? I guess there are several network plans.

I am just thinking to grab one in Dubai. Pls guide me if I can use it with the cheapest network provider there?

Thanks,
Prav

1. Yes, u can.
2. But remember, the big 5 carriers r pretty expensive (Rogers, Bell, Fido, Koodo & Telus). While WIND & Mobilicity r better for newcomers (cheaper).
3. However, those 2 being AWS carriers do not serve the iPhone. But they do have most other phones including SGS-III, GN, SGN-2, BB etc.
4. It is wise to buy a "Pentaband" phone, b'coz those can be used with any operator in the globe.
5. Unlocked iPhone-5 is cheaper here than Dxb. Besides, if u go with locked plans (3-yrs) with the big-5 -- it costs just $100+the plan costs.

get "lesson bayanat" (license details) in english from Traffic (Police) Department will be sufficient for you. prior to departure also try to get Internationl driving License which will cost around AED 200 only will be helpful in driving immidiatly after landing, while processing driving license.

1. Many have brought Shj DL LOA & proceeded successfully with their DLs here.
2. Shj LOA is only (I believe it's still) in Arabic.
3. Arabic LOAs must not be translated in UAE as those translations aren't accepted here.
4. U need to get it translated here thru a DriveTest Canada accredited translator (they'd give u the list).
5. With that translated copy u'd get ur wait-time waiver & be permitted to appear for the Direct G Road Test.

yes you do needs indian PCC,
PCC required for country of origin, + every country you lived for more than 6 month.
contact BLS you will get ur PCC in 5 working days.

but do I need the indian PCC? I've never lived there...even for a few months..

 

[Rawat anil]

i'm afraid it wont be acceptable. few people used that in past but my consultant advised me to get the BC from muncipality or issuing athority in india. as BC from indian consalate is not acceptable. so better not to waise ur money on that. they will just write based on ur passport ur DOB is ......

Dear all,


I called the Indian Consulate and they advised that instead of getting the legal translation (document will have to be sent back to India), the other option is to get a new BC made from the Indian Consulate in Dubai - this will be in english and absolutely original - they will use passport date to do so...

Is this the same and completely legal? Can I make a BC now after so many years, and will Canada accept that as a true document?

Please advise...

thanks

Is there any reliable consultant you have found? Am looking for someone to help, but many here are saying to do it on your own + the consultants I've met so far do not really seem truthworthy...

Hi Qorax,
Need your advice, actually we are planing to complete landing formality in Toronto during May 2013 but our stay there is less than 30 days and we'll settle permanently next year In Shaa ALLAH.

1. Should we both arrnage to apply for DL?
2. Would it be possible for us to appear for the Direct G Road Test with 30 days? or should we wait and apply on our permanent settlement?

Regards,
Saad

Yeah i hv got the letter fm shj traffic dept.

 

[Rawat anil]

i have applied through premier, there service was not great, they just work as a courier service. and very few real consultation. although i received my visa already and right now in canada.
if you cant go to india ask some of ur relative to arrange BC for you. or there is few people who do these work like Allied legal, and your man in india. they will be expensive and i never used there services just heard from somepeople that they do these services.

hmm..thanks...would need to see what can be done, because there is noway I can go back to India ...

1. U can... however u wouldn't need the DL till u settle down here -- thus u could apply for it later as well.
2. Yes, possible. However it all depends on the appointment availability vs. the D/Test centre u r looking for. Nonetheless, usually one could complete the process in 30-days... we all took just a week to get our DLs here. The D/Instructor helped in acquiring the dates (early vs. choice centres).
