Deadline in 2 days.

Good day house,

My final destination is Winnipeg, Manitoba. I want to ask if there are specific routes one must follow to the final destination being first time in Canada. I have heard that first-timers to Canada had to land at a specific airport before heading to their final destinations. Some say it is applicable only to first-time visitors, while others say some other things.

For instance, my in-laws were directed to Vancouver during their first visit before being allowed to proceed to Winnipeg.

My family and I are planning to book our flight in few days to land in October.

I'll appreciate your responses/advice please. Thanks.

Regards

job fair in Canada for anyone interested.

Basically, what this means is, under no circumstance should you sign a lease for a basement apartment if you haven't physically been in the room to inspect it. Cos the online pictures can be misleading.

Sandydav:
Greetings landed seniors, please i want to know the pros and cons of renting a basement apartment. From my search, basement apartments are more likely to have utilities included in the rent and that is what i am looking for, but the Nigerian in me is wondering how i will live underground. I have a 3 year old son and that is another reason i am thinking it might not be such a great idea. Please someone should share their thoughts let this not be a penny wise pound foolish move for me.

The key word you should look for is legal. If the suite is a legal suite, it will have its own separate heating system where you have a separate thermostat and also egress windows and high ceilings. I would look out for recently built legal suites. Trust me, if an apartment/ house doesn't have a/c, one would wish they live in a basement suite on some of those occasional heat wave summer days.
Hope this helps

Landed seniors and anyone with information, please what is the best way to carry your funds, is it wise to open a dollar at this stage..

Hello my people. Pls i have a little challenge and would appreciate some solid answers. I hope to land Calgary by the first week of October. I will be using Ethiopia Airline. Now, i just noticed that i have just 1hr 30mins before my flight from Toronto to Calgary and my sister, who is picking me from the airport, is worried i would miss my flight because of the formalities i need to complete at Toronto.

Pls, i would appreciate any info about this. I have read some landing stories where you are put on the next flight if you miss your flight while being processed. Can this be confirmed? Does anyone have a different story to this. Thanks alot in advance.

Very urgent pls.

God bless you all

Hi, congratulations. Please were you able to track your port through the VFS website? Keeps telling me "no records found". Thanks

If your infants are less than 2yo, they get just 10kg each in baggage, only above 2yo gets the full baggage allocation. If you are flying via abj, pls go early so that you can reason with them one on one, i upgraded my foodstuff baggage to 32 kg with 22k and the remaining bag were max 24kg

Kwado87:


Congrats on your landing. I will be landing in Edmonton by month end via Ethiopian Airline... Please, how much did you pay for bag upgrades? What kg was the ? We'll be 2 adults, 2 infants, I believe we will be entitled to 6 bags of 23kg, is this correct?
Thanks. Congratulations once again on your successful landing.

smslive2:

Yes I was. It may be because you are doing something wrong; check the date of birth, and if you have more than one port submitted ensure the tracking number is for the right date of birth.

@pipes1759 your write up was entertaining. Welcome!
@ the basement suite ish, @beea is right about ensuring it is a legal suite. However, since you have a toddler I think you may wanna just opt out of renting a basement. Having a window to look out of would make a world of difference for your kid.

I totally agree with this. And like @pipes1759 said ensure you have access to control your heating/cooling. I stayed in an air bnb basement and would never try it again except if I have access to the thermostat

Arrima is Quebec's portal for applying for immigration....french is one of the ways to get points for the Quebec system....not compulsory (i don't think so) but will add to your points....


another thing though TEF for Quebec is different from the general TEF Canada though.

see this link https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/requirements-programs/index.html

to correct myself pls. Quebec actually accepts 7 different evaluations of French including TEF Canada....so no need to do TEFAQ separately for Quebec. see below

see this link https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/requirements-programs/language-knowledge.html

Arrima opens today at 8pm Montréal time

Don't worry, that shouldn't be a challenge at all. If the delay is as a result of your official landing formalities AIR CANADA would book you on the next available flight to Calgary.

Great pointers! I apprecaite

A Nigerian Engineer, based in Canada, Jude Igwemezie, has won a $500 million contract to build a monorail network in Iraq.

Hinting at his frustration to offer his services to Nigeria, Mr. Igwemezie said, “as a Diaspora person, I kept coming back, knocking, to help Nigeria. On the other hand I can’t knock forever.”

Wow! See how Nigerian factor/ways of doing things chased him away.
Best wishes to him. Those who knew and valued his worth have entrusted $500 million worth of contract to him.

Has anyone based in Ontario actually used his temporary license for conversion?
