Congratulations GENTLEANDREW!! Wishing you successful integration in your new country.

Good day greats.

To the glory of God, we landed Toronto, Canada on the 11th of May, 2015. We boarded Turkish Airline and it was a great one using them as they kept to time and their level of hospitality was second to none. 10 hours in flight from Istanbul to Toronto.

At the Canada boarder services, we just submitted the COPR and our passport plus the custom's card and we presented our address to receive the PR card.That was it. We were not asked any question but were welcomed to Canada. We were then ushered to the front desk lady who presented us with all the necessary information and leaflets to handle SIN registration and every other things.

At the custom point, our luggages were not checked at all. Everything went so cool. I will be residing in Toronto, Canada with my family. Still enjoying my new found home. It is presently cold and they are equally having a bit of rain showers. I am really greatful to God.

I wish you all well. Cheers.

Good day everyone, pls. I need help on how best to search and secure the good rate for my flight. I have a family of 4 and we have sent to IOM, but they said it will take 2 to 3 weeks b4 they can respond. From airline sites those prices are not funny at all. Any help?

Try the gulf airlines - Emirates, Ethiad or Qatar
Try Turkish airline

It depends also on what you can manage with respect to transit time, connections, arrival time at your final destinations, ages of the children in your party etc and obviously the COST

if all things put together, the cost is still "not funny" from your perspective, I guess you will just have to wait out IOM's 2-3 weeks response

guys let me give you my experience here with ICBC in Vancouver....They do not recognize International Drivers License (IDL) for Class 5 drivers license application (They only accept that as a license to drive for 3 months) so you will have to do a road test be given a class 7 license and go through the graduated program if that is the only document you have from your home country...

Requirements to get a full class 5 license if you do not have license from Germany, UK etc that have agreements with ICBC

- A full DL from your home country which you should have received (or shows) you have been driving in your home country for at least 2 years (the license from your home country will be taken from your immediately you pass your written test and book for a class 5 road test because ICBC do not accept you keep licenses from 2 different countries)

OR

What I will advise is if you do not have a valid DL please just get a note of competence from your licensing authority showing your License number and a prove of the date you were first issued a drivers license because that is all they need and here in Vancouver they have a way of verifying this information via the federal government in Ottawa.

MY Advise...

Please if you do not have a full DL please try to get a note of competence from your local DL authority with details of your license number and when it was issued (I know this is already in the international DL booklet but you need to be safe...they will have to verify you have driven for more than 2 years back home else you have to go through the graduated program)...

Is my experience and you know experience teaches best.... PM me if you have any concerns.

Oboy

Thanks for dis info

Hi, a lot of people have the same challenge waiting 3 weeks for IOM to send you a quote which you might not like so self help is best.
The European and American carriers are expensive which brings us to the Gulf carriers but even then Emirates and Qatar are not cheap.
So like I did, I advise you check Turkish and Ethiopian, 2 world class airlines which I found to have the lowest fares for my family of five.
Imagine I got N717, 400 for all of us thru Turkish. I booked my flight two months away and got this incredible deal. Go online check these airlines and get your own deal, all the best.

All praise to God, we landed in the city of Calgary about 3 weeks ago. God has been wonderful.

Our journey from Naija was through Turkish airline. We had some excess luggage which by favour we were not asked to pay for. Turkish airlines delayed our connecting flight to Toronto by 3.5hours and made us to miss the local flight to Calgary. We slept in the airport and again we were favoured not to have to part with any money to rebook our flight, which could have been an extra $1400.

Since landing, we have had some wonderful experiences. A group of friends surprised us with one week booking in the hotel and within one week we were able to get our place in SW. We've done all the necessary registrations. We have our SIN, our Alberta health card, I and my wife passed the CBT driving test and we both have class 7. We've got a car and carefully driving the streets of Calgary. Our kids have started school and we are pushing out the resumes trusting God for the completion of the favour. All we are waiting for is our PR card and the return of the genuine test of our driver's license so that we can do the road test and get the next level of licence.
I have met with a few Nigerians, the husband of Floxzy, being one of them - nice guy. Calgary is a nice place and we shall possess our possession in this land in Jesus name. To those still on their way, God will make this land our land of promise.

Cheers!
