Here's how to prepare your first arrival in Canada

1. Getting Your Study Permit, Work Permit, or PR Documents:

Keep all immigration documents in your carry-on for port-of-entry clearance.
Answer border services officers' questions calmly and honestly.
Verify the details and conditions on your permits/documents before leaving.
Apply for your Social Insurance Number at the first point of entry, even if you have a connecting flight.
2. Transportation from the Airport:

Use an airport taxi or Uber, payable by debit, credit card, or cash (some taxis accept USD at an equal rate with CAD).
Consider public transportation options like buses or trains.
Research taxi charges in advance as they vary by distance.
3. Settling into Your New Home:

If arriving in December/January, pack warm clothes for the cold weather.
Have the address of your first night's accommodation ready.
Carry snacks if arriving at night, as local stores and restaurants may be closed.
4. Maintaining a Positive Attitude:

Focus on personal development and keep seeking opportunities in Canada instead of dwelling on negativity.
