my husband and i decided to go for studies starting in september and figure out the EE thing in parallel.
Hopefully,at some point during the studies we’ll be able to get our PR
But right now we’re pre-ITA
This is somewhat risky, but seems like a plan for us right now, as we’re so physically and morally exhausted at this point of all the waiting and uncertainty
Good news everyone! I became a permanent resident yesterday.
The landing process at Toronto-Pearson was smooth and surprisingly fast. Went from kiosk to primary immigration officer to secondary (for PR activation) ... all done in 5 minutes total. Since I don't have a permanent address, they didn't take my address and told me fill out the PR card form later.
Then I told the customs checkpoint that I have goods to declare and they sent me to customs screening where they stamped the BSF186/A forms and gave me the blue slip. Again, all done within 5 minutes. I guess it's only the departures which are horrible at Pearson.

First time being in Toronto, I'm taken aback by the amount of my countrymen/women in service oriented jobs - cabbies, cashiers, hotel concierge, baristas. The only other place where I've seen anything close to this is Queens and even that's pretty far behind from this.
Also, in two days, I have understood why auto insurance rates are through the roof here - absolute maniacs.
