i don't know about student visa but for PR your visa validity is usually tied to your medical validity date or few days after it unless they maybe extend it.

Your answer is here. In fact they highlighted it.

I heard they don't have hospital
That's my main concern

njambert:


How's Airdrie? That's exactly where I'm looking to move to with my family next year.

PruGreat:


Quiet, Neat, and early morning + closing time traffic to and fro Calgary. Houses were cheaper there last year but prices are dropping in Calgary already.

njambert:


Thanks for your reply.Would you recommend it for a start for newcomers? I've been doing alot of research and I'm mostly choosing for its cheaper homes both for renting and buying.And I'm hoping commuting to and fro isn't too far from Calgary Downtown as I plan to open a business and don't want to be very far from immigrant population

don't ask them. they can over charge you. just visit https://www.tdinsurance.com/ and get an instant quote and if you're ok with the quote you can proceed to confirming your insurance and make payment.

PruGreat:


Just like those above me have said, if being close to immigrants is the main propeller to move to Airdrie, then you have more reasons to stay in Calgary.

When I was renting, my rent was cheaper here in Calgary than a comparable unit in Airdrie. I also spent less time commuting and do not think of evening hold-ups. And when buying a house, they don't build or sell for emotions, you get what you pay for, and you'll get something within your budget in Calgary.

Welcome in advance.

Hello All,
A big shoutout to everyone giving tips to assist new immigrant. You guys are doing a Fantastic Job
Please I have some question, I will be travelling in March and need clarity on some things before Landing.

1) On my COPR, I have ottawa as city of destination. I remeber picking this location while filling one of the forms
but I did not know it would eventually reflect. My question is, Must OTTAWA be the city i land in? I was considering toronto
But I do not Know if I would be questioned at Point Of Entry on why I am not arriving at the destination stated on my COPR.

You can land at any city of your choice in Canada. You will have no issues at all whatsoever. I filled Edmonton and landed in Calgary without no issues.

2) Has anyone travelled using KLM recently, I will like o know how much an extra luggage cost in Naira.
I tried to pay for an extra luggage online but I am unable to do this. I got a notification saying I can only
make payment prior to checkin at the airport.

You will pay more at the airport. Last April an extra luggage of 23Kg cost about 56K at the airport, that price will be close to double by now.

3)Has anyone used the Prearrival services provided by the canadian government, If Yes please how well did it work for you?
I am considering using BCCA in order to get a Business Analyst Job.

No idea about BCCA but there are a lot of BA groups in Canada that you can join and get guidance. It will be easier for you if you can study, write and pass IIBA CBAP examination before coming. The Certificate will immediately put you on the Canadian BA map and in front of recruiters


I will really appreciate your responses. Thank you all

Hello All,
5)Finally, if you reside or have resided in ottawa in the Past, what area can you recommend that has easy commute. I do not intend getting a car until after 6month at least to be stable. I am looking at staying in an area that has easy access to buses.

I will really appreciate your responses. Thank you all

AZeD1:

Easy commute to where?
There would most likely be a bus stop 10 mins or less from the house but if you leave in the East end and need to commute to the West end, it would most likely take you 2 hours.

To properly answer the easy commute question, we need to know the destination.

VicSanTROUBLE:
Good morning,

I’m planning on applying for a study visa, but I don’t have any cheap university in mind, where I can get part time job. Trying to see if I would relocate with my fiancé and get a room accommodation. Please I need your advice for choice of university and as newcomer, environment that is warmer and less costly for accommodation.
We have saved enough money, but I just don’t want to make a wrong decision. Thank you
