Even I like Qatar over Emirates, PIA and others, but since i have an infant, I have booked PIA non-stop flight to Toronto and then to Edmonton.

I think your immigration formalities should be done at Edmonton, since you do not posses CSQ
Any part of canada you enter qubec, north, newfoundland by road, by air, by train your immigration entry will be processed from first entry point. we landed in Montreal no problem was there hundreds of other province immigrants got the processing done there like us. It is an wrong concept that qubec do not process immigraton of other provinces.

Friends,

One more question.

My family wants to take Qatar Airways after listening bad Experience of PIA Lahore-Toronto flight.
My spouse sister and friend are not recommending PIA.
In contrast i want to take PIA Lahore-Toronto-Edmonton because direct flight from Lahore-Toronto will save traveling time because i am traveling with 2 children (9yrs & 4yrs old).

If any member who had traveled from Lahore-Edmonton can share flight experience?

Thanks

We recently came by PIA, direct flight from Karachi to Toronto, There has been no problem in the flight, plan flied on time and landed 15 minutes early. Almost all of our bags were overweight by 1-2 kg, however the boarding staff allowed the weight.

Plane was also comfortable with good seats and enough leg space for average height person. The only thing different from Emirates was that there were not enough snacks served during the flight. there were only two meals served during 15 hours flight.

can you confirm whether the weight of each is 23 kg? Did you then take another flight for Edmonton or stayed in Toronto?

Hi!
This is the third or the fourth time that you ask questions about Toronto and get no answers. Since this is a thread about Edmonton which is not even in the same province as Toronto it is obvious why people don't answer to your questions.
Try to start a thread about Toronto if one doesn't exist already or just google a bit. You are arriving in a month and are running out of time.
Try this link, I've got if from this forum: www.airbnb.com

Type the address into google map and minimize it so that you can estimate which part of the city that is.
