Yes, you can choose a different school from your designated school. I did that and all it took was to fill a form for boundary exemption but note that you will be responsible for getting your child to and from school as he/she won't be eligible for busing, except in cases where the boundary exemption is program related - e.g. you want an International Baccalaureate program for your child and the school offering it is out of your boundary.

Your child's high school will depend on where you live so if you are yet to land, you can decide that your order of sorting things out will be to find a school you're comfortable with first and then ensure you rent within the school boundaries. You can use the Fraser rankings to get an idea of the school's performance - http://ontario.compareschoolrankings.org/secondary/SchoolsByRankLocationName.aspx. Note though that one ranking can't tell you all you need to know. If you have a shortlist of schools, you can also read online reviews - 'google' or 'rate my teacher'. You may pick up a few things about the school if a particular comment trends amongst the reviewers. Also, some people tend towards Catholic schools as they are perceived to have more 'discipline'. Also, Catholic schools have uniforms and somehow, that's a preference for some. In summary, I think it's all about what you are looking for in a school and the location in relation to your home. In the London and Middlesex area, we have the busing website which can help you determine what schools your address is eligible to attend and whether or not the students will be eligible for busing or will have to walk to school. It is https://transportation.mybigyellowbus.ca/Eligibility.aspx?Page=Transportation. I don't know the equivalent of this service in the Toronto/GTA area. You may also check if there's one and that can help with making a decision.

Any one looking to stay in Mississauga from 31st Oct to 17 Nov 2018 and needs a temporary accommodation for that period. I have a 3 bedroom, fully furnished house with unlimited internet, and all utilities inclusive for CAD 1800. Interested persons should kindly contact me.

Expectantbee:


Oh no! I wish this came earlier. I just booked an Airbnb till Nov22 but if you can help with a more long term accommodation I’d appreciate it. Thanks

I doubt there's an Ontario WhatsApp group, what I know of is WhatsApp group for different cities in Ontario.

Blackbuddy:


Hi, yes they will have to walk. The alternative as already pointed out to you by salford is to drive/walk them to school your self or engage a private school bus company to drop/pick them up for you at your expense.

You could contact Attridge Transportation, a private bus company I just found that covers your city and make enquiries among your options, http://attridgetransportation.com/daily_school_bus_routes

sunvick:
The irony of life!!
If you want to apply for US, UK and Canada visit visa, they say travel history is an advantage
Now you want to apply for Canadian PR... travel history now becomes a stumbling block for faster processing.

Hi everyone.

I have recieved Mail from LVO that Accra would contact me for an interview convocation. Pls who has an idea how long it takes to get a date from Accra. Also how long after the interview does one get PPR or is it issued same day right after the interview?

blessings2017:


An excerpt from one of your posts ... " my visa was revoked cos I used B1/B2 visa for child birth and made use of some insurance during child birth" .

Two issues I've identified. (1) Use of B1/B2 visa for childbirth (2) insurance debt

For No. 1, well, it might not be much of an issue ( could be an emergency delivery for all i care ) if No.2 is dealt with.

It is contradictory to be indebted and claim you have the required POF. It would be better to pay up your debt because POF is such a crucial requirement in this process . CIC also requires that you state any outstanding debt.

Where you explicitly state what you owe US gov't in insurance in your application without redeeming such, it counters your POF and when slashed against POF (assuming reviewing officer is lenient enough to do so) , you're short of POF requirement. On the other hand, being coy about the debt, may land you into misrepresentation because they'd definitely know.

To be honest, take your time and pay the debt no matter how painstaking it might be . Failure of which, might raise the issue of insolvency (and credibility, if I may add) of PA.

Cheers!

I’ve only heard about LVO. Can you mention any other VO’s reporting the mass movement to IP2?
