Hello All,
Can anyone tell me what the security is and what the criminality is? What does VO check under these terminology? I would appreciate your time. I did google it but couldnt find the answer. Hope you help me.
Thank you.

Criminality checks assess our criminal record or the absence of it.
Security checks assess our participation in terrorism, espionage and subversion

Both terms are usually used interchangeably though.

Hi Abmir,

I am now in Berri suites, downtown. But my new home is at station Cote St Catherine. There are loads of cheap flats with no credit checks in that area. You can check kijiji.ca.

Thanks a lot and I wish you a pleasant journey!

Hi Ketavan,

Great to know that things are rolling for you. Also thanks for sharing all these valuable information. Which area of Montreal have you found your accommodation?
We will be flying on the 20th of March. Wish you all the best with the job hunt.

God Bless
ABMIR

My settlement days

On Monday I Went to Service Canada to get SIN. I had to queue for an hour, but the process took less than 10 minutes. The lady scanned my landing papers and gave me my SIN. She said that my SIN card will be posted within 15 working days to me. This SIN is the equivalent of UK NI number and necessary for working.

On Tuesday went to Assurance maladie (health insurance). Filled out a bunch of forms. The gentleman scanned my documents, but advised that my application cannot be finalized until I provide proof of address, e.g. Utility bill. He gave me 45 days for this.

So I went to buy a cell phone plan from Koodo. Got a free blackberry and a plan for 30 dol.per month, including unlimited texts worldwide. Now I am waiting impatiently for my bill to finish with assurance maladie.

On wednesday I went to view a flat that I found on kijiji. I liked the flat and immediately applied. The rental office asked me bank statements and receipt from my current accommodation. They approved my application immediately and took my deposit. We made agreement that I will move in April. I am happy that I have home now because without credit history, co-signer and a stable income it is not easy to get a flat here.

Accommodation is much cheaper in Montreal than in the UK where both property and utility are expensive. I got a furnished studio with all bills included for 490 dol. only. In Glasgow I was paying 1000 dollars for the same. And I would be paying even more in London. However, food is more expensive here than in the UK. One muffin costs 3 dollars at IGA, while for the same amount I could buy a box of muffins at Sainsbury's. Another inconvenience is that prices displayed exclude tax and you should estimate the exact bill by mental calculation.

On Wednesday afternoon I went to bank for my appointment. I chose Scotia bank before coming here because of their programme for new immigrants. They offer one year of free banking, one credit card, one debit card, one movie point card (to collect points for movies), one year of free deposit box services and one saving account. All accounts were opened immediately.

Today I visited Centre local d'emploi - local employment office. It has computers with free internet access, printing and a software to facilitate CV writing. Will go there tommorrow again to start the long and painful process of job hunting.

Thanks for sharing Ketaven,nice to know that you are settling down
Good luck
