Thank u so much. [quote I would advise that you search LinkedIn, Glassdoor, indeed.ca, eluta.ca etc and other job boards to see which jobs are more in demand for someone with your skillset in your destination city. That is how you determine what is in demand and align yourself and your job search in that direction. You then ask your relatives and friends in that city to link you up with working professionals in that field so that you can start networking and establishing your launch base. You can also identify any immigrant assistance agency in your destination that works to help newcomer professionals in your field to get integrated. With all the above coming together for you, you can focus on hitting the ground and start running. All the best ahead.[/quote] 1 Like 1 Share |

Lansky: Don't stress about this. They will accept a proof of address that's a letter from the bank posted to your address so you can request a bank statement when you have a more permanent address. Your card won't come till after 3 months it doesn't matter when you register. I couldn't register till almost after 2 months cos that was the earliest time a bank could post my statement. 1 Like |

LANDING GIST I flew EgytAir and got to the airport by 10am for a 12:45pm flight. I had just a check-in bag and one backpack. I had cereal and coco balls in the check-in bag to keep me for the 3days should incase I couldn't find nice food. I emptied it into ziplock nylon and had no issues. Check in was fast. As usual, I was asked for tips, I told them I had already changed my money. Well I only travelled with 500CAD which I changed at the Airport. I had my debit cards handy though. On the final flight to Toronto, we were giving a declaration form on the flight. If you have more than 10k CAD, please declare it, if you can at all the airports, Nigeria inclusive (better be safe than sorry o) I landed 7:00am, less immigration queue. I met with the CBSA or na CSBA officer, he asked 1. if my family composition had changed (since I applied as a single immigrant) and 2.If I had any conviction Upon landing. (The playful me almost said yes just to make him laugh since he was looking too serious but thank GOD my village people didn't succeed) He signed my COPR and I reminded him the need to welcome me to Canada ![]() In Toronto, CBSA share the same partition with Service Canada, less than 1mins walk. I had to wait a bit for them to be ready to attend to us since we came earlier than resumption time I presume. We were giving a small form to fill and in no time, SIN was issued. Agent Lee (an Asian attended to me). Very firm yet shared some good information. The need to layer up clothes, how I need to get on Indeed, LinkedIn etc to start networking. The next and final check was when I was about exiting the airport. I presume this is where you will need to present your *Goods to follow list*. They may also decide to open and check your luggage. Mine wasn't checked. I used my friend's address in Manitoba, she recieved my PR in 15days and dispatched using DHL to Nigeria which I got 4days after. Custom opened it to confirm the content perhaps Canada Custom or the US. My phone wouldn't load Uber, thank goodness, a friend in the US whom I was able to call with WhatsApp using the Airport Wifi ordered Uber for me also controlled the driver to my terminal (GOD bless him for me). I stayed in an Airbnb for the 3days. I landed 7:00am on Friday and left for Nigeria 2:00pm on Monday. GOD bless Canada and Nigeria 59 Likes 11 Shares |

hayoakins: Very nice and straight forward. Thanks for sharing. I also did my soft landing early last year before finding this page late last year so I did not write my landing gist. But this was pretty much my experience as well. Except, my uber app worked so all was well. I also had to wait for a few mins for them to open as we arrived early. This was fine because it meant there was no queue since we were the first set. They also asked me for proof of funds and I showed them my bank app which they said I should convert to Canadian dollars and let them know how much it is. The guy didn't even wait for my response so we moved on. Filled some form (s), SIN was issued and they explained that this is your whole life and you need to take care of the number etc etc. PR arrived about two weeks later. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Hi all, wanted to share this offer from HSBC in case anyone is interested. It's specifically for newcomers, $500 bonus for a min deposit of $10,000 within one month of opening the account. Account is also fee-free for the first year. There's also an additional $200 bonus if you meet certain conditions. My partner and I landed recently and we needed somewhere to deposit our POF so this was a no brainer! Here's the link for more info: https://www.hsbc.ca/chequing-accounts/offers/account-offer-ntc/ 20 Likes 20 Shares |
