Thanks, but I heard only Ethiopia Airlines take passengers who got copr after march. And also that one can't land in Montreal (even tho some said they did). Been hearing a lot of conflicting things.



AZeD1:

Air France and Lufthansa will get you to Ottawa.

You can also fly to Montreal and travel down to Ottawa.

Montreal to Ottawa == 2hrs
Toronto to Ottawa == 5hrs
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Neam9: 4:41pm On Jan 06, 2021
Thank you. I heard if you book them to ottawa, they stop at Toronto and put you on a local flight to ottawa.I'm yet to confirm from them tho. Also heard we are not allowed to take a train or any other public transportation once we land. If not I was asking about the train option initially.

mbhs139:


Avoid Lufthansa and all that. ET is your best choice at this time of Covid. Find out if they fly to Ottawa or Quebec, or fly to Toronto and take a train ride to Ottawa at the Union Station, it's part of the fun.

There's a direct train shuttle called UP Express from the airport to Toronto's Union train station. From Union Station, you take a train ride on another train service called VIA Rail to Ottawa. More info available on Google, have a safe trip.

[Thanks for the response]If your first place of landing in Canada is Toronto then that will be where your immigration check will be. Try to look for a flight with a long stop over between landing in Toronto and your flight to Edmonton. I missed my flight due to the long line at immigration and they connected me to the next available flight at no extra cost (I don't inow if that is how it always work ) [/quote]

There's a train station that takes one from the airport, Pearson YYZ, to the Union Station in Toronto. It's called VIA Rail on something. I would suggest you check it out on YouTube videos to have an idea of the terminal.

You can also check online to see how you can book a train ticket to Ottawa from the Union Station in Toronto. I don't know how you can go around town in Ottawa because I live in the GTA. It's a four hour drive to Ottawa, that's like a distance of Lagos to Port Harcourt.

Reach out for further questions

That's not all. Read the concluding statement:

"Depending on your situation, there may be additional requirements."

For PNP, there are requirements which you signed to when accepting the nomination. For Saskatchewan, the intention to reside in the province is on the EE ITA, and I believe it's the case for other PNPs.

Please can you add me to a telegram or WhatsApp group for Saskatchewan and New Brunswick PNPs. Thank you

Is there Virgin in Calgary?

Just shine your eye and shop around because in this Canada the exact same service one person is paying $45 for, another person will be paying $75.

Thanks! Yes, there's virgin mobile in Calgary.

The problem is not being sure of what is a reasonable deal. Koodo has an offer for 35$ monthly (unlimited calls and texts and 1GB data). Does that seem fair? Thanks

I assumed that I would only need to use mobile data when in transit as I would have wifi at home and at work. They also have a package of 45$ with 4GB. Is that better?

Thanks for your reply.

This is how it works. When I send you a dm here, you will get it as a notification in your email(email used for nairaland), then you can just reply with a Hi, and I will then be able to send you a message, via email.

DM sent.

Thanks again.

No, I wouldn't pay 35 for 1GB except the network is giving me a phone or there's bonus data included. According to whistleout.ca, Freedom could give you 6GB for that price. Chatr and Public Mobile 4GB.

I use data only while in transit and use an average of 3GB every month.

Good day all. Kindly help a brother

I applied for Canada work permit last year Feb. I paid agent 500k to balance 1.5m when d Visa is out. Then was promised in six months time everything to set. Corona came and scattered every where

Since then I have been calling them on monthly intervals and they keep saying Canada is in lock down and most companies are closed down. Since companies are closed, no recruitment

I wish to know how true is this though they called me on Jan 5 if I still wish they continue the process or get a full refund of my money. They also told me that they have other countries they are still processing that are not really badly affected by Corona.

I wish to know if truly Canada is in lockdown that caused companies to closed down. And also if there is any hope for reopening of these companies within the shortest period of time.

Thanks in anticipation for an answer

This might not be the appropriate answer to your questions but what caught my attention is that you were offered an option of full refund which in my opinion you should take. I don't know what kind of job they are trying to help you secure but if you at least have a first degree you might want to opt for skilled immigration which you can very well do yourself.


JUST MY OPINION

I wish to know how true is this though they called me on Jan 5 if I still wish they continue the process or get a full refund of my money. They also told me that they have other countries they are still processing that are not really badly affected by Corona.
