Please I want to ask a question to you all. Can I buy a mobile SIM card at the airport when I land at Toronto Pearson airport? Someone told me in Canada they don’t sell SIM cards at the airports but I want to confirm wether it’s true.

Hello my people,

Thank for ur good works & knowledge shared on this forum.

I just landed in canada less than 2 weeks precisely in newfoundland

I have a masters degree in finance & will like to get a job in the financial services industry here.

So for finance professionals in our midst who moved to Canada, how did you navigate the financial job market. specifically, are there courses or certifications in finance here that could increase my chances of securing a job in this field.

Thank you very much for ur anticipated kind response.

One love.

Guys, watch this video for an expose on the Canadian experience requirement. Very relevant to us as we hustle and prepare to hustle for jobs.

A bit long and the cameraman didn't focus on the slides, but very useful. Going back to school is not the only way to get the Canadian experience. Dr Lionel Laroche is a French immigrant based in Canada.

Always dreamed of moving to Canada. At least we regularly go there to relatives, but I still want to go there to study and stay there permanently.

For some reason Sudanese and Nigerian cards isn't being accepted, pick a flight booking, then instead of paying, hold the reservation for 24hrs instead. Within this moment, send an email to their office operating at your selected departure airport to inquire of their account number. visit any bank with the total cost of the ticket, and pay, please don't forget to include your reservation number on the payment slip. When you do this, they'll send you your ticket or be proactive and send the payment slip to the email address that replied you. You'll get it.

PS: I could have helped you get their account numbers and email address to contact, but it's on their website, you'll see it too. GOODLUCK.

The account numbers are actually listed on their site. Just do a transfer and the ticket will be sent to your registered email address. Use the booking ref code in the transfer narration to enable them tie the payment to your booking. Let the OP check their site. You don't need to call the airline at all. At least I didn't.

Yeah I knew it was listed there, but I don't want to copy account numbers here and be accused of anything. It's better OP checks it him/herself. I thought it was safer that way.

Hello,

If the address you provided has a mail box, your PR card will be dropped in the mail box. That's how I got mine.

[/b]Also, link your PR application to your account so you can be on the alert to receive it once it is approved.[b]

All the best..

Thank you for your response. Please how can I go about this?

Hi, there is no published phone number for the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, NS but you can try the Call Centre 1-888-242-2100 for those who are in Canada. Others outside can try contacting the Call Centre +1 613 944 4000 (for an agent: use options 1,2,1,2,1 ...then 0 to skip the recorded message) from outside Canada.

I don't know if you fall under this category but for those who applied for PR more recently (EE/PNP) you can follow the following steps after landing to know the status of your PR card processing. Do note you only have 5 attempts in one day.

1) Login to CIC account.
2) Go to section "Link an existing application to this account". Click on "Link application to this account" button.
3) Select category as PR Card
4) Select "Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and Family Name"
5) Fill required details (please make sure of capital, small, comma etc.)
6) Provide landing date in "Date you became a permanent resident"
7) Click on 'search my application'
cool after application searched, make sure you submit application else it not link

Once you have successfully linked your application it will show you as "Submitted" status and once it is ready for dispatch it will go into "Approved" status.

The steps above were copied from a post at canadavisa forum, hope it helps.

You heard right in the sense that there are no permanent stalls for the telcos to sell their retail products at Pearson Airport however, they occasionally have pop-up shops when they have promos. I saw a koodo pop-up shop in July at Pearson arrivals lounge when I went to pick up visiting relatives. When I was there just last month to pick up friends passing thru to Nova Scotia, the stall was gone smiley So hope for the best when you arrive.

Also, you can save at least 10k per ticket if you book through the Ethiopian airways app as opposed to booking via their website wink

Faced the same prob. Your immigrant Visa is only one entry, so you can't reuse it. I asked a Canada Border Services officer and according to him, CBS has no prob letting you back in with your COPR. That however doesn't mean the airline/US officers will accept that. Your PR card is what they'll want to see. So, in summary, you may not be able to regain entry into Canada.

Thanks for your response

***Update***

I made the trip to US and returned to Canada with only my COPR using the Megabus service from Toronto to NYC. The journey took approximately 12 hrs.

On the first leg to the US, we disembarked with our luggages at the US border posts and boarded again after going through US customs.

On the return leg of the trip, the megabus driver asked to see my visa and I showed him my COPR, with which he allowed me to get on the bus. On getting to the Canada border posts, we came down and went through the canada customs/immigration and they allowed me enter after presenting my COPR and other landing documents.

So coming in to Canada without a PR card is possible if you come in through the land border with your COPR document.
