Mam, how much money we can take with us while coming from India to Canada? And please ma'am also tell us where should we keep this money in check in luggage or in carry on bag?? Can we take pen drives ,headphones along with us and how to pack Steel products like utensils or iron products.

[@AlishaDsouza]

+Pooja Hi :) -It’s safer to carry $1000. I recommend keeping it in your carry on bag because it’s safer. -You can bring pen drives and headphones with you from India to Canada. -I didn’t put any special packing on the utensils from India. I just put it in my bag.

Should I get my hair stylers like the straighter and curler knowing that the voltage difference is quite noticeable?

[@AlishaDsouza]

Hi Sanya, I'm so sorry for not replying to you earlier. I got my straightener to Canada. But, for some reason it stopped working in lesser than 6 months. I'd say carry it instead of leaving it back and see if it works.

[@neehalm887]

Hi Alisha. Are you allowed to take masala into Canada? I thought all food items are confiscated. Or is it allowed if its vacuum sealed with all the ingredients listed...? I'm landing in Vancouver in January. Your videos are awesome. Thanks :)

[@AlishaDsouza]

+Neehal Mooruth you can carry masalas your Canada. Best of luck. You’re gonna love it 😍

[@ryan.shirazi]

Hey Alisha, how are you!? Was wondering if it makes sense to do a post graduate diploma in marketing since I’ve already done a bachelors degree in BMS (marketing). Are the PGDs mostly designed for students from outside the field or a higher level of studies? College websites say the former but a counsellor told me the latter. He also said you won’t get admission into a PGD in computer science since it’s a completely different field. Thanks for your help! And try posting more often!

[@ryan.shirazi]

Also, what documents do you require for a PGD application? The counsellor told me you just need soft copies of10th, 12th, bachelors marksheets (not transcripts), passing certificate, IELTS, passport front and last page and my Resume. That’s it? Kind of surprising.

[@AlishaDsouza]

It does make sense to do a PDD in marketing. Firstly, to get your work permit approved, you have to pick a course that’s within your field and secondly, if marketing is something you wanna pursue its good to have on field experience that college usually gives you and you’ll build networks with people within the industry. If computer science is something you want to do - Jump in and take the chance :)

[@AlishaDsouza]

That’s right! They are more concerned about your IELTS.

[@ryan.shirazi]

Thanks for your quick response! That’s great if I can further study marketing itself! Now I got another question actually! Douglas offers a choice to do two, 1 year PDDs in different fields to Complete 2 years of studies which makes us eligible for a 2 year work permit. The programs will be around 16-20 months combined so will be work permit be the same duration or a full 24 months? Your single PDD was around 16 months too right, so did you get a full 36 months work permit or lesser? Really appreciate your help Alisha, sorry for bothering you so much!

[@AlishaDsouza]

I got a 3 year work permit. I’m not sure if these rules have changed though.

[@13livingit]

Would there be any issues if we carry masalas in our checkin bag? Do we have to declare it on arrival?

[@AlishaDsouza]

+13livingit you can carry masalas and declaring it won’t be a problem.

[@sayimonsunny9961]

heyy alisha this video was really good just want to know how much money should a person carry ? like in dollars

You guys are very confusing. Buy clothes in Canada, no!! Too expensive in Canada, don't buy.

Hi June, I'm so sorry I wasn't clear. What I tried to recommend was buying warm clothing from here and not carry it with you.
