On the phone with ircc waiting to be connected to an agent for the past 1 hour and 20 mins…
My god!

You LUCKY chap! I have been trying since March with no success!

Pearson airport is a godforsaken place lol

I guess it mostly applies to departures/security. Or, at least, they've fixed the arrivals now... no random testing and they've pretty much gotten rid of most COVID protocols.

The PR card form is the webform right? I also didn't have an address, but wasn't given any form, I assumed that this is just the webform.

Yes, it's the same. You can do it online or fax the given form.

Got my SIN. Queued at 7.30am, about 20th or so in line, they opened at 8.30am and I was done by 9am.

Prtd is a document to enter canada if you don't have a pr card .
To re enter canada you require either pr card or prtd.
I am getting married on Oct, I am not sure whether I will get my pr card that is why I asked that.in normal circumstances you don't have to worry about it.

Oh, ohk..

I would rather not get shot or stabbed, but between the two I would rather get shot. At least, it will be over quicker.

On a side note, I don't know if I can call myself privileged, I had never had to worry about being shot or stabbed in India. Common sense tells me to avoid "dangerous" areas but I had never felt unsafe in any part of India. But of course, I say this as a man.

Surely, I won't be jumped and asked for my wallet in, say, Brampton in GTA?

Brampton is very safe mate, compared to any town in US and most urban locations in Canada. It's bad rep comes from the concentrated amount of Indians it has in the eyes of non Indians like Surrey, Richmond for Chinese, etc. As an Indian, you will feel right at home

Even Jane and Finch which is supposedly the most dangerous neighborhood in Canada seemed to be safer than 50% of New York, LA and Newark

559 College St. Queueing around 7:30-8 would be optimal IMO.

Americans have better manners on the roads though. Here, putting the indicator on means that you've earned the right of way and can cut it and merge at any speed without looking.

And I just witnessed a drag race in the middle of Downtown!

I think this is an issue with big cities like Toronto. Everyone on the road here in Regina drive like my grandma. I've been here for 10 months and not seen an accident yet - not even a bumper bashing.

Nice, I'll be going to the exact same one. Are you planning to head back to the US or staying and finding an apartment in Toronto?

If it helps, I used to roam in Vancouver DTES and Surrey Newton at 8-12 PM, just for kicks. We used to go for after work "meetings" on friday at times. Nothing happened. Saw a lot of stonned to hell folks cursing various thing, most commonly --and I am not joking-- Masonic order. For some reason when stoners in DTES go high as 747, they see free masons in everything that is wrong in their life.

Thank you for the kind words. Upon calling them, nothing has changed. Eligibility and security have not started yet, criminality is in progress.

I told the lady that it is very strange that its been 18 months and I am yet to even pass eligibility, to which she replied that the current processing times for fsw is 26 months and I am still within that period. Thats the end of it, I am not calling until I receive my ppr.

I see. What are the insurance rates over there?

My US visa has ended. I'm settling in Toronto.
