The Flight To Canada 1 day to Go

Yesterday
Had a rough day yesterday i had to take out most of my junk out of the house consisting of old broken Cds, Useless papers, Broken watches and you know all that crap. But yea everything has a silver lining mine was that i will be leaving for Canada tomorrow and i feel soo excited as well as nervous . I just hope everything goes well and have a lovely journey . My friend Adi has already left last night and i will be leaving tomorrow . I have to make it in time wish i don't mess up my classes and miss them .

The Ticket Consultant
I kind of booked my ticket yesterday over the phone and got away with a sweet deal the was like begging for it so like i got it for around 38000 INR/- which is supposed to be much but as compared to the prices that they were giving out at this point of time well it flat out cheap. M just lucky to get it at this point . Or i was getting a normal ticket to halifax for 60000 bucks . That money doesn't come easy . I needed to buy a laptop . So yesterday after search a lot on google i finally stumbled upon a site . Well i had a mano-e-mano converstation with the one of the staff . Damn it took them 2 hours to find me ticket and you won't believe i almost got angry at them for taking soo much time and i had to keep telling them please don't make me land in the US or i will be bummed with whole VISA questioner it was like reapeating the whole thing over & over . Every time this help line attendant gave me ticket she said " I have found you the best deal its for 43k " But when you go into the details yea its through America . This happened 3 times finally when she gives me the right ticket it costs 75000 i was like WTF . And then like her manager i think she was on round or something so i said to her i am sorry i am not satisfied with your results .

Manager - Complimentary tickets
Then the manager comes on and says we are very sorry for the inconvenience some of our staff is new here . Then she offers me a ticket to Toronto @ 38000 well i was more than Glad to take it and since it was a change flight from London i was like Thank you and she explained me that they keep 7% of their tickets in the VIP quota and like they are always reserved for them . And these seats aren't given until the last moment . So after getting this complimentary gift i am set to depart on the 3rd of Sept. And well it hasn't been a pretty site in my home everyone is like crying . Its like i am not going to have a net connection there . Seriously the net makes the world a much smaller place . I just hope this journey is awesome and my stay there a enriching experience .

The Baggage
Getting all my packing done . The per scribed weight that i can take on to the flight is as below:
2 Bags of 157 CM each holding 23 kgs
1 handbag 8kg holding .

Like i am trying to cover up the ground here and filling the bags to the foretold weight . And weighing them . I roped one of the bags the other on i will be doing tonight . Baggage is set now for those tickets .

Now Headed to...
I have to goto CP to Collect my tickets and well yea . Its pretty far from where i am staying . So sionara to all my readers and i will get back to you as soon as i buy a lappy in Canada . Don't worry i will fill in the blind spots and give you full info on my journey . Hopefully i may get on some neat pics . What do you expect i am going there so have to drop up in there and check out the new pirated arrivals . Am a gamer so gotta keep upadates . Haven't played i new game in 2weeks now feels like boredom . Well i finish a game well atleast i try to finish it with in 24hrs . But few games like GTA aren't built for that kind of treatment . You need a dedicated player to finish that one . Its like on the verge of impossible and seeing the new release making a hit on the market i want to get a Ps3 of my own . But the console costs a lotta dough anyways see you guys in Canada.

Applying for VISA | Canada | VISA | PROCESS

WOOTT!! To all my readers had a really busy week . Was trying to get my visa application processed you think thats tough try sticking your head into a planes engine with only a helmet on . Dude it was like hectic . And when ever i came back from what was it i was doing i felt doozy . Thats why i wasn't able to post up much. Just a few 2 niners.

So to all the newbie's out there who have never flown out to any other country and are planning for a student visa well specifically to Canada cause thats where i am headed. Well its a 3 stage process . Which i will be explaining with my experience .

STUDENTS VISA

1stly to have to get up your gig and apply up to any Canadian university. Preferably you would wanna goto a counselors office. They seriously make your work easier well they don't even charge anything since they are already employed by the Canadian high commission to do your dirty work. They compile the stuff for you and make you metally prepared for the worst case senario and well there's always a silver lining . Well it was because of my recently aquanted friend named Aditya Bhadra ( Well now it has been around 4 months since i know him) . He told me where he was flying off to and yea i also had a notion about Canada I LOVE THAT PLACE . Well its far better than Texas that's where i was going before this anyways.... So he got me hooked up with this counselor Shradha she was a great help she actually got me out of my tight spot and made this possible.

So what you need is that you basically need to apply to the university you prefer with thier application form and the required document that maybe 10 & 12th class marksheets . If your a transfer student your transcript from the university you are transferring from refering to the grades you got while you were there Ansal Instute of Technology was my univ. And i had to pay a nominal fee of 75$ including hostel room allocation fee. In my case i was applying to Saint Mary's University In helifax Nova Scotia Canada. It Caters to many foreign student but yeah i really loved thier campus and facilities . I just hope my experience is a great one. So when your application is done you will recive you I-20 which is your acceptance letter if you are qualified for it .

And if you have applied for the on campus residency you will have to shell out $500 for conformation. In the month of march . If you don't do it by then your room will be given to some one else on the waiting list . So be sure to submit it up on time.Now comes the most difficult part filling a visa . And Acquiring a ticket .

Well As far as i go and what my experience has taught me that filing a VISA well before hand will get you really cheap and affordable tickets . The more you delay your chances of getting your VISA slims and so does your getting the hostel room you applied for. So don't take any chances if your leaving in Sept. Start applying in June itself . So you don't have to be last person on the plane going in a baggage compartment with some cows . Or worst you stay back an year if you don't reach on time.


2nd stage . Applying for your VISA. I know about Canadian visa but yeah most of the US VISA's application have almost the same process. Get your applications d-loaded from the website your consellor refers to . for me it was http://vfs-canada.co.in its an indian branch of Indian agents who process your application. Get the check list and start collecting up all your documents. Now this this here can be a real pain in the butt you have to get loads of stuff . And if your parents don't coperate well more hard work. Just like i had the same problem . I was applying before hand but due to many reasons from my father i wasn't able to do it on time. I am providing with my check list and form . So this applies only for Canada .

I had to rush to each and every bank to get thier statements find copies of my documents , Fill up the forms did it like 3 times to make it perfect , Get my 1st sem fees paid Oh yea that was a bugger i had to keep on repating to my dad to pay it before the 15 of july well yea it reached there on time but yea my visa was already late and yea it may seem i didn't have a lot to do but trust me its harder than it
looks. After all that i finally submitted my application on the 5 th of August . I have to fly on the 29 or the 30 .

So when the application is done you have to wait 10 days for thier response then they send you a courier and in it is a document with your passport to get your medical done. Yea you should be mentally prepared for it they actually take of all of your clothing well atleast my friend did . I was quite lucky i got a female doc and she was quite friendly . So you know she never did ask to get my pants down i was all good. When your medical is done for me it was on the 14th the same day i recieved the passport. It was raining heavily and the traffic just look at it yourself . We were moving like snails it took us 3 hours to reach the hospital and i might have been the last patient . But yeah they medical didn't even take 20 min's since it started . Now thats done PHEW!!! ... I have to wait another 10 working days before submitting my passport .

I submitted it a little earlier and guess what it came back with a letter saying i have to submit it after 14 days for my medical exam 14 because they need 10 working days to process the medical excluding the weekends . So 2 weeks makes it 14 days after . So i submitted my passport again with todays date on it . I hoping for the best . Just pray for me people that i get my VISA on time .


WITHOUT MY VISA I CANNOT APPLY FOR MY TICKET . And yes the rates are going through the roof . I am sure its going to burn a permenet hole in my pocket .

Oh and if you give back your passport on time you get your VISA in 2 to 3 days time.
