[Thalia]

Hi boys and girls,

For those who are coming to Edmonton soon, they can join this group on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/493695310748431/
It's a brand new group, so the information will be created over time, with your help and of anyone who can share their knowledge. I will also try to help as much as I can with the few things I learnt being here few months now.
Please join and invite people who are new to Edmonton, or who are planning to land soon and need some guidance.

All the best,
Thalia

Those who have travel to Edmonton from Pakistan kindly share the following Information.

1. Which airline /travel route you have taken (appreciate if any body can share the travel agent contact details and price)

2. How much baggage allowance was allowed and is there any additional charges included for baggage as for Edmonton one has to take domestic flight.

U can try qatarairways. turkish, KLM, Emirates, ethihad or PIA..depends on ur choice and pocket. I went for qatar airways..they allowed 60kg throughout their journey..no extra charges for domestic flight from Montreal to Edmonton..Best of luck

I think it is of necessity to state an address in which, if sought for within the first two months , one will be found. However, if there's no address to show at the time of landing, no problem. Go on with your life, as soon as you have a stable address, you can contact them, and your PR Card will be delivered to you when ready.
