Leaving for Canada soon? Know what & how to Pack for Canada 🇨🇦

We divided our packing into 5 different categories:
1. Clothes

In this video we are sharing step by step process to apply for Canada PR via express entry. Watch the video till the end if you are looking for information on "how to get Canada PR", "how to move to Canada", "how to come to Canada" or "Canada PR cost and timelines"
We don't like immigration agents! We are a young couple who started their Canadian Immigration journey in 2018 and will be moving to Canada early 2020. Over the course of our application, we have seen so many people getting screwed over by greedy / fraudulent immigration consultants who promise you the world in exchange for thousands of dollars and deliver a whole lot of bullshit; to an extent that in many cases, the applications get rejected, due to their negligence.
Therefore, we are taking matters in our own hands. After months of research and our own experience of applying for a Canadian PR, we came up with an e-book series & this KZbin channel which would include - errors to avoid, perfect sample documents and alternate ways of immigrating to Canada - 100 pages of absolute goldmine between these 3 e-books - no filters, no premium versions to these ebooks... everything is out there.. in the open, for you to read and execute the process yourself! The KZbin channel will compliment the e-book and add some personality and entertainment to the entire process :-)
Volume 1: Step by step express entry process from know nothing about immigration all the way to getting an invitation to apply (ECA, IELTS etc). Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Volume 2: Post ITA express entry process - documentation, samples, POF, Proof of work, medical, biometrics all the way to getting a stamped passport ;-) Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Volume 3: Alternate ways of moving to canada | Provincial Nominee program - OINP, AINP, MPNP, NSNP, SINP, RNIP and more. Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Save your money, and if you find these e-books useful, do not forget to buy us a coffee when you reach Canada :-)

I think you guys missed few things like - roti tava, parat, aachar, tea, chakla, belan. Does your health insurance cover any expense related to covid 19 (rabb naa kare jarurat aaye). In resume copies have you considered Canada format as I have seen many videos on that.

[@Potatotalkies]

Thanks, all great points! Will pin this post 😀

Keep creating such a nice and valuable content !! In a way you are doing social service by saving thousands of bucks of all those people who want to immigrate to canada by themselves. Also want to share your idea of potato talkies cafe is super awesome ! Would love to contribute if any help required in the cafe design & creation of vibes ! Thanks

Hello @potatotalkies - Does one need a jewelry valuation certificate for jewelry that is currently being worn ? Such as earrings or chains ? Also are doctor prescriptions needed for immigration officials ?

Now that you have been there for 2+ years, maybe it would be a good idea to revisit some of your initial new immigrant videos, keeping your real word experience in mind. We are on a journey to land there next year and have restarted watching these older videos.

[@MAZHARPATHAN100]

Hey Guys! In context of DL Extract, I'd like to clarify something. Since I'll be coming from Dubai, will my UAE DL suffice or do I still need to get the extract from India and/or UAE ? What's the value of this DL there ?

[@Potatotalkies]

I dont know if UAE one works.. do watch our video on shopping for canada for value

[@natkhatnandan]

You'll mentioned about the 3 month health insurance in the documentations section, as far as our understanding goes permanent residents are covered since day1 of landing in Canada, then what would you need the health insurance from India for?

[@Potatotalkies]

Not everywhere but yeah, due to covid they will cover from the day you apply.. not day 1.

[@rashmibhandarkar3603]

Thank you for these informative videos. They are quite helpful and easy to follow. I have received my COPR and planning to land soon. I have few questions regarding documents to carry as first landing for immigration--- 1. Passport 2. COPR 3. CAD Cash with receipt 4. DL extract 5. DL 6. Jwellery evaluation 7. Proof of funds 8. Post ITA docs 9. Resume copies A. In some official videos medical and dental records are also mentioned. What are these records? B. If I bring Bankers Cheque equal to the proof of funds, will that be excepted as proof of funds? And how many days before leaving for Canada should we apply for Bankers Cheque C. Post ITA documents, can you please specify what all - (biometric, request for passport) medical test records are with IRCC only

[@mayankkamnani2280]

Did you tell ircc about your prescription medicine?

[@gopalsuthar6097]

Hi Good Morning, First of all, I would like to THANK YOU and wish all the happiness. My question and concern is, I have done self evaluation for my CRS score and it is 340. what should i do. am i eligible for express entry?

[@Potatotalkies]

Pls follow www.potatotalkies.com

[@jojosaiga]

Hi Team, first of all would like to congratulate you on the commendable work you are doing. I have literally learnt a lot from your videos. Just had a query regarding Health Insurance you mentioned. Is it really Health Insurance or International travel insurance? Also wanted a clarification whether the 3 month waiver for wait time for getting OHIP is really there or not. Since you have crossed three months maybe you could enlighten.

[@Potatotalkies]

Its waived for now.. just get a health insurance for a month till you quarantine, open a bank account and apply for OHIP.

[@jojosaiga]

@@Potatotalkies thanks a lot! I'll get It done for 1 month then.
