Say "NO" to Genocide - Call, email, mail your reps (Canada)

Me and my friend spent some time today writing letters to the House of Commons, plus we have been calling MPs daily. I haven't seen too many resources for this floating around on tumblr, so here's a lengthy guide on how to do this plus some sample scripts! Long post ahead since I think it will be most helpful to dump everything in one spot to reference. On desktop, use CTR F/CMD F to search for the topic -> Phone / Email / Letter Mail / Contacts / Demands / Scripts / Fax

Update 1 - Nov 23: Updated emails with "mailto" hyperlinks, edited demands, added fax section, added scotiabank pres fax number.

On the PHONE / General Tips

Introduce yourself and identify yourself as a constituent by providing your postal code or address.

Ask to speak to the MP directly, but do not be surprised if you must speak to the MP’s staff instead. Staff can help move your issue forward.

Give the reason for your call and explain your concern.

Focus on one or two main concerns per phone call. Do not unload on the MP or their staff with all of your political concerns at one time.

Ask clear and pointed questions that require some explanation.

Ask for a commitment to action.

KEEP IN MIND Tips for Calling MPs:

Tell the MP that this issue will matter to you in the next election.

Avoid revealing party affiliation or sympathies. If you show that your vote is already cast for a certain party, the MP may not have the incentive to respond to your requests.

Be as brief as possible while outlining concerns.  Show that you respect their time.

Remain calm and respectful in dialogue. Be willing to work with them.

Follow up: Find out what actions were taken as a result of your call, and respond appropriately.

CJPME Call Tool - Fill in the form, there will be suggested talking point. The tool will call your phone and then patch you through to your MP. If voicemail, state your concerns in 30 seconds. No address input will default you to call Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly.

EMAIL

Be sure you sign your email with your name and mailing address so they know you are a part of their riding.

You will most likely receive a PR-type response or no response at all, but please still send these. It disrupts operations, and it still contributes to pressuring your MP to act on behalf of your riding.

LETTER MAIL

Mail may be sent postage-free to any member of Parliament at the House of Commons address. You just need to use an MP's full title if they are Cabinet members. Cabinet mebers have "The Honourable" attached to their names.

Postcards are efficient in that they are small pieces of card stock and can be a short message plus demands, no need to get use envelopes.

SCRIPTS

Use these as scripts for calling, emailing, and mailing. I suggest adding some of your own sentences and changing the subject lines (for email) so they don't end up in spam.

Example from Canada: Stop Arming Israel - World BEYOND War 

As we mourn the thousands of people in Israel and Palestine who have been killed in the past few weeks we refuse to stand by and allow the only true winners in war — the weapons manufacturers — to continue to arm and profit off of it.

Canada exported over $21 million in military goods to Israel in 2022, including over $3 million in bombs, torpedoes, missiles, and other explosives. - 2022 Exports of Military Goods 

Weapons companies across Canada are making a fortune off of the carnage in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine.

This is a call to action. It's time to stop letting these weapons companies profit off of the massacre of thousands of Palestinians. Find a location near you, get friends and allies together, and interrupt their business as usual to demand they stop selling arms and military technology to Israel.

Send an urgent message to demand Canada stop arming Israel and push for an immediate ceasefire to your Member of Parliament, the Prime Minister, and the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, International Trade, and Defense.

Dear [recipient's full name goes here], We are witnessing genocidal violence playing out in Gaza right now. Thousands of Palestinians have been killed, nearly half of them children. With a blockade on water, electricity, fuel and food, a quarter of all buildings razed to the ground, and over a million people displaced, UN experts have denounced Israel's actions as crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, weapons companies across Canada are arming -- and making a fortune off of -- the carnage in Gaza and the massacre of thousands of Palestinians by selling weapons and military technology to Israel. I am calling on you to do two things: to take immediate action to institute an arms embargo on Israel and to ensure Canada pushes for de-escalation and a ceasefire in Gaza. Sincerely,

Script Sample 2 from Palestinian Youth Movement

^This will open up a pre-written email in your chosen email app or site. Fill in the recipient line with the emails of MPs you wish to contact.

Script Sample 3 from CJPME's Email Campaign

^Complete the form to send an email to Prime Minister Trudeau, your local MP, and the leaders of the NDP, Convervatives and Greens. Canada must OPPOSE A SECOND NAKBA and dispossession of the Palestinians in Gaza by pushing for a ceasefire.

Script Sample 3 for mail:

(a mix of mine and a friend's)

I am writing to ask you to take immediate action to stop the genocide Israel is committing against Palestinians in Gaza as well as the onslaught of those in West Bank.

There is blockade on food, water, electricity, fuel, and the use of internationally banned white phosphorus to exterminate Palestinians. Aid is not able to enter Gaza because of this blockade. UN experts have named Israel’s actions as genocide citing numerous war crimes they continually commit.

While over 10k civilians have been martyr’d (4.2k of which are children), Canada has not even been able to NAME such crimes as genocide or call for an official ceasefire. This is not enough.

Canada needs to:

Call an immediate ceasefire to end bloodshed

Send humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Institute embargo on all military exports to Israel

Close the embassies, and sanction Israel diplomatically and economically.

FAX (NEW!)

Using faxzero.com is simple, just follow up the steps on the website. No fax machine required! Tell officials your demands and customize your letter by noting their complicity based on their role as a politician or gov official. Or keep it brief and simple, in large legible letters.

That you are a “Canadian” constituent That you are demanding an IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT CEASEFIRE IN GAZA; That you demand a total withdrawal of financial (taxpayer) and commercial support and arms for continued occupation in Israel’s 70+ year occupation in Palestine; That it is shameful that [X] is choosing not to speak up for the deaths of more than 11,000 Palestinians, half of whom are children and thousands of others displaced; That Palestinians like all people, deserve life, dignity and justice; That Israel is breaking multiple international laws daily and Canada MUST meet its international commitment to promote and defend human rights under the Geneva Convention; That not putting these actions in place will harm constituents and undo acts of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities in Canada by not protecting the Indigenous peoples of Palestine; That unless there is concrete and everlasting action taken place, that there will be no peace until Palestine is free, and subsequently that you will not be voting for them (if applicable) in the next election.

Sign off with your name, address and postal code (if applicable, furthering that you are a resident on the stolen Indigenous lands otherwise known as “Canada”) Extended fax list: Scott thomson (president of scotiabank) - 416-866-5929 joe biden / whitehouse - 202-456-2461

https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-female-rugby-players-complain-trans-opponent-hits-too-hard

Female rugby players are not used to feeling like they have been hit by a bus on the field. Or a truck.

A veteran female rugby player, who plays for the Stoney Creek Camels senior women’s team, said she was hit so hard in a recent game, it felt like a man delivering the tackle.

This transgender player, known as Ash — said to have registered as a non-binary person who identifies as female — stands about 5-foot-10 and weighs up to 220 pounds. 

“We are women,” said a female player on the receiving end of a tackle. “It’s a whole other thing playing rugby against men.” 

Or one who used to be — especially one of that size, who is also said to have been an MVP at the men’s level just last season. 

“I had never been hit like that before, even at the competitive women’s level,” said the player. “There was so much more brute force. There are women who are bigger than him, but no girl hits like that. This is a strong human.” 

“The player is a nice person, but that is not the point,” said the female player. “We are now at a disadvantage.”

This story has sparked a lot of discussion within the rugby community – many comparing it to the Leah Thomas swimming issue in the United States. But as one female player pointed out, competitive swimmers have their own lane and there are no collisions. In rugby, it’s all collisions, all the time. She said Ash’s legs are massive and strong, and “you feel the hits from (them) the next day.”

Diana Murphy a friend of some of the players, tweeted: “Three women’s rugby players had to be removed from a game and treated for injuries from hits sustained by a transwoman” and that she feels “Trans have no place in women’s sports.” Rugby Canada said there were no illlegal hits, but sources in the game said Ash received a yellow card from the referee for a hit to the head of one female player. Ash was pulled from the game. Players said they are not clear whether it was at the insistence of the referee or the Fergus coach. Either way, Rugby Canada said this is a federal inclusion issue and not only is this transgender player welcomed in the league, but the law protects that person from discrimination.

“We are aware of the matter in question but would advise that Rugby Canada has received no formal complaints,” said Managing Director Tania Richards. “All rugby played in Canada abides by federal government laws which regulates inclusion in sports."

She said there were no players hurt and there were no illegal hits as has been suggested on social media. What there has been, said Richards, is online harassment of the transgender player. The Fergus club has not yet responded, but has forwarded our request to speak with Ash. Meanwhile, there are some players who feel they should not have to play against someone who was recently considered male, but are afraid to reveal their identities for fear of being targeted or cancelled themselves.

All sides use the word “complicated” when talking about this matter. Rugby Ontario sent a communique to members, saying “for those who attended Sunday’s board meeting, you are aware of some concerns that have arisen about player safety in the context of a transplayer playing in club games” and “we are working closely with Rugby Canada senior staff on the matter and are together developing action and communication plans, informed by the counsel of their third-party crisis management PR agency.” They also asked, “if you are contacted by anyone in the community or the media, please do not engage by offering any opinion or comment on the situation.” What they don’t seem to be doing is fully accepting there are some female players who don’t feel comfortable going up against a transitioning opponent in a physical sport where size and strength play a role. One player said the collision she had with trans player Ash was unlike any other impact she has felt in all her years playing rugby.

Brief introduction of IRCC

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is a federal government department you will be interacting with both before and after you arrive in Canada.

Clients interaction with IRCC before and after arrival Your exposure before you arrive will be through online immigration applications or the many visa offices outside Canada. After you arrive you may have further involvement through one of more than 500 IRCC-supported service provider organizations for settlement services, and interact with IRCC bylater extending your permanent resident card, and eventually going through the process to become a Canadian citizen.

IRCC in-land offices IRCC has an operations support centre in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, and immigration case processing centres in Ottawa, Edmonton, Mississauga and Sydney. It also has offices in Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta; two in Vancouver and one in Surrey, British Columbia; one in Winnipeg for Manitoba and Nunavut; Fredericton, New Brunswick; St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador; Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Mississauga, two in Toronto, and Windsor in Ontario; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; two in Montreal, Quebec; and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

It also has temporary offices across Canada for citizenship tests, interviews and ceremonies and immigration interviews.

IRCC help center Your first point of contact for questions is the IRCC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100.  Wait times can be long and both immigrant settlement agency staff and Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants complain the answers to questions are not consistent. One call centre employee can give you one answer, and another could tell you something different. However, the IRCC website has comprehensive information.

Front counter IRCC staff do not provide general information or updates on specific files. IRCC was formerly known as Citizenship and Immigration Canada and its website at www.cic.gc.ca is thorough and contains most of the information you will need, including application forms and application guides. There is an online help centre at www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/index-featured-can.asp

The objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its accompanying Regulations are the sources relied upon for immigration and refugee applications, decisions, and appeals. IRPA has 10 objectives, described in the Act, including: to permit Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration; strengthen the Canadian social and cultural fabric; support a prosperous economy with the benefits shared across all regions of Canada; reunite families; promote the integration of permanent residents; facilitate the entry of visitors, students and temporary workers; protect the public health and safety of Canadian society; promote international justice and security; and work with the provinces to secure better recognition of foreign credentials of permanent residents and more rapid integration into society.

Recent PR programs of IRCC  Recent IRCC programs designed to share the benefits of immigration across Canada include the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. The Greater Toronto Area continues to attract one-third of all immigrants to Canada, with Vancouver and Montreal also receiving large shares. 

IRCC’s immigration plan IRCC is estimating between 310,000 and 360,000 immigrants will arrive in 2020, with a target of 340,000. The largest numbers will be in the various economic streams, with the remainder in family class, refugees and protected persons or humanitarian and compassionate categories. An increasing number of spaces will be devoted to provincial nominees. The immigration target continues to rise each year to counteract an ageing population and shrinking labour force.

IRCC says, in its Departmental Plan, that it “continues to manage permanent resident selection, attracting the best and the brightest to Canada, through its Express Entry application management system and its collaboration with provinces and territories that nominate permanent resident candidates.”

One of its goals is to eliminate the backlog of privately sponsored refugee applications and reduce processing times to an average of 12 months for most applications.

IRCC’s current priorities are to grow immigration; streamline economic immigration program requirements; improve settlement outcomes; improve client experience; provide international leadership on refugee and migration issues; introduce a more inclusive citizenship study guide; and work with Canada Border Services Agency, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the provinces to address increases in irregular migration to Canada.

In addition to a target of 340,000 immigrants in 2020, the number of temporary residents arriving will be in the millions. In 2016-17 there were almost four million visas and electronic travel authorizations issued to visitors, international students and temporary workers.

Another IRCC goal is to focus on improvements to program delivery through the more than 500 service provider organizations it funds across Canada. It especially wants to see improvements in language training, employment services and support to vulnerable newcomers, including visible minority women. 

It also wants to work with the service provider organizations to ensure that services pertaining to culture, history, sports and recreation are available. Cross-cultural activities and one-on-one exchanges will be encouraged to build language skills. It will continue to work with the more than 60 Local Immigration Partnerships across the country to encourage welcoming communities for newcomers. 

IRCC’s budget for 2019-20 is almost $2.4 billion and approximately $1.4 billion is allocated to settlement support services.  It has a total workforce of more than 7,000. A little more than 1,000 people work in the area of visitors, international students and temporary workers; almost 3,000 work in immigrant and refugee selection and integration; approximately 1,600 work in citizenship and passports; and almost 1.600 in internal services. The thousands of people across Canada working for service provider organizations are employees of non-profit organizations, not IRCC.

What is Canada PR Visa

An immigrant to Canada who has been granted permanent residence status but, is not a Canadian citizen is known as a PR. Citizens of foreign nations are those who live there for the long term or permanently.

A temporary visitor to Canada, such as a student or migrant worker, is not considered a PR.

The Government-Assisted Refugee Program or the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program allows refugees who are resettled from Foreign to become PR.

A refugee claimant in Canada does not instantly become a PR. The Immigration and Refugee Board must initially approve their claim before they may become one. The next step is for them to apply for and get PR.

Is it easy to get PR in Canada?

The simplest way to approach entering Canada is mainly dependent on the applicant's qualification conditions. Furthermore, it is based on the priorities, Profile, and objectives you have made for yourself.

A lot of immigration routes have been opened by the government as a result of Canada's small population. They aid foreign nationals in obtaining smooth immigration to Canada. The simplest means to immigrate to Canada are provided by the government.

If you want to settle in Canada, the best way to do so is to apply for a Canada PR from India. You can stay and work in Canada forever if you have PR status. The Canada PR visa card has a 5 validity period even though it is a permanent visa.

Ontario is by far the most popular province for new immigrants to Canada. About half of all new Canadian permanent residents arrived in Ontario in 2021. The largest city in Canada is also the most populated in Ontario.

5 Essential Things To Do When You First Arrive in Canada

Are you considering moving to Canada? Once they arrive, newcomers must complete a number of tasks to get ready for their new life in Canada. Despite the fact that the procedure can seem intimidating, the Canadian government provides numerous resources to aid immigrants at every stage. The top five things to do when you first arrive in Canada are listed below.

1. Housing

When you arrive in Canada, you will need a place to reside right away. Before you arrive, make a reservation for some temporary housing to save yourself some hassle. The majority of hotels and hostels let you book a room online, making them excellent choices for short-term lodging. You can begin investigating a more long-term solution once you have more information about the area where you intend to reside.

2. Health Insurance

The public health insurance programme is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Once you've decided which province you'll live in, learn what the provincial plan covers. Each province and territory has its own health insurance plan.

New residents may have to wait up to three months in some provinces before becoming eligible for government health insurance. While you wait, you might get private insurance to cover your needs. For any services that your province's public plan does not cover, you can alternatively get private insurance. Some firms in Canada additionally provide their staff with additional health insurance.

Contact your provincial ministry of health for information about getting health insurance:

Alberta

British Columbia

Manitoba

New Brunswick

Newfoundland and Labrador

Northwest Territories

Nova Scotia

Nunavut

Ontario

Prince Edward Island

Quebec (in French only)

Saskatchewan

Yukon

3. Social insurance number

To work in Canada, you require a Social Insurance Number (SIN), which is a nine-digit number. You require it in order to participate in government programs and receive benefits. One can be requested in person at a Service Canada office or by mail. To establish your identification and status, you must present an original main document, such as a permanent resident card or proof of ongoing residency.

4. Canadian bank account

As soon as you can, you ought to create a bank account in Canada. Even if you don't have a job, a permanent address, money to deposit into the account, a good credit rating, or have filed for bankruptcy, you can open a personal bank account in Canada. All you have to do is visit a bank in person and show proper identification. Your bank's teller will be able to guide you through the procedure, and many banks offer special services for immigrants to Canada.

5. Connect with your community

It can be frightening to relocate, especially if you don't know anyone there. Not only will making new acquaintances make you feel more at home, but it will also expand your professional network and aid in job search in Canada. It can be highly beneficial for newcomers to be connected with other immigrants or Canadians through immigrant-serving groups. Additionally, you may provide your time to charitable organizations, schools, or community centres in your area. There are numerous ways to get involved; look for events you can attend to meet people who share your interests.

How to Renew a PR Card

Canada's permanent residents are issued PR cards, making it easier for individuals to return to Canada following their trips abroad, easing their return to Canada after overseas travels. PR cards are renewable ONLY in Canada. Canadian PR Renewal is necessary since PR Cards have an expiration date, and you must apply for a new one before the old one expires. 

Don't be alarmed if you find yourself in this situation where your PR card has expired. 

Expiry of the PR card does not mean that your PR (permanent resident) status has expired. Permanent Residence (PR) Status stays in effect until the cancellation procedure is initiated. 

There are various methods for resolving the issue of an expired PR card, depending on your circumstances. Several factors determine the strategy to use:

When your PR card expires within the next 730 days & you reside in Canada.

apply for renewal stat

If your PR Card has already passed its expiration date

Are you in Canada

Are you traveling overseas?

 When outside Canada without a valid PR Card, a PR Travel Document (PRTD) is required to return to Canada. 

The main reason for this is that you will have to pick up your PR Card in Canada if you apply for one. 

As a result, only one option is PRTD.

Eligibility

You are eligible if you have spent at least 730 days in Canada in the last five years. 

To reclaim your PR status or renew your PR card, you must be present physically in Canada for a least 730 days out of five years.

You can obtain a new PR card if your current PR card has expired or will expire within nine months and you meet the eligibility criteria. The majority of new PR cards expire after five years.

Documents Required for a PR Card Application

The expired PR needs to be handed over to the PRCC officer on receiving the new PR card.

Other documents listed in the documentation checklist include 

a copy of your passport or a travel document

Photos (as per the application specifications).

Please fill out form IMM544E and submit it with the documentation mentioned above to replace a stolen, destroyed, or expired PR card.

Speak with a professional immigration advisor about your options. You can reach us at +1 (877) 683-SAAB (7222) | hello@saabimmigration.ca or visit us at www.saabimmigration.ca.

Visitor Medical Insurance in Brampton

It is not a surprise for Brampton that their city Brampton is not only awarded for it floral beauty but also designated as one of the most International Safe Communities in North America by WHO.

Brampton is buzzing with excitement not only due to Mayoral Race but the festival season for South Asian community is at its top and lot of travel is happening to and fro from Brampton, as a matter of fact it is of utmost importance that visitors and travelers both remain diligent in protecting their health during their stay in and outside Brampton.

Brampton need to know how to protect themselves from any sickness or accidental injury that may occur during their stay in the country they are visiting.

Visitor insurance which is also called visitor medical insurance is a short term medical insurance policy which protects you from any financial loss which may arise from medical emergencies during your stay in Canada.

Visitor insurance is the best option for anyone visiting Brampton or anyplace in Canada; they may be tourists, international students, and new immigrants or supervise applicants.

Want to Visit Canada worry-free?

Visitor Assurance is absolutely committed to provide you the best protection/medical insurance coverage as per your medical needs during your stay in Canada. At Visitor Assurance we provide you with the most competitive rates without compromising your interests.

Not only are you protected in Brampton but your trips to other provinces and the USA are also covered.

You should purchase the Visitor to Canada plan before you enter Canada, but it can be purchased on arrival as-well, but certain conditions may apply, for example if you purchase your Visitor medical insurance coverage on the date of arrival, coverage may be effective on the date of purchase for accident/injuries but for illness, coverage can start after few days of your stay in Brampton/Canada.

Can newcomers to Canada buy private health insurance?

For sure, newcomers like PR card holders are not covered by OHIP for their initial stay of three months in Ontario, so buying visitor medical insurance policy is a very good idea for them to remain protected during this period.

There are many people living in Brampton who are not covered by OHIP at all, so purchasing private health insurance must be a top priority for them.

What is covered under Emergency Visitor Medical Insurance?

This is an emergency medical insurance, and the policy holders are covered for most of their health related expenses, but NOT for all. For example, pregnancy related expenditure is not covered by most of the companies. It is your duty to discuss your needs with your insurance advisory so that you get the best possible plan.

Some insurance companies provide the coverage only if you buy the insurance plan within certain days after your arrival in Canada.

Where in Brampton Can I buy the Visitor Insurance Plan?

There are many insurance advisory in Brampton, who will sell you the plan, but your main concern is to find a place where your needs are taken care of with prudence and compassion. Visitor Assurance is the place in Brampton to buy a visitor medical insurance, the decision you will never regret.

Women in the U.S. Music Industry Study Builds on Canadian Research

“Erin Barra, an associate professor at Berklee and board director of Women in Music, formulated the project, which focuses on gender equity in the U.S. music industry.”

“The study, "Women in the U.S. Music Industry: Obstacles and Opportunities," was created to provide a current snapshot of women working in the industry. Building upon research conducted by Women In Music Canadian 2015, the study analyzed responses from nearly 2,000 women from a survey conducted during the summer of 2018. The survey explored demographics, employment, and the challenges and opportunities for women in the workplace, among other topics.

“The survey results present compelling data around the challenges and opportunities women experience in the music industry, while also reaffirming that the respondents are passionate about working in this field. Women responded strongly when asked about gender bias, often sharing examples of workplace behavior and personal stories. Nearly half of respondents felt they should be further ahead in their career, including 41 percent of those at the executive level.”

“While both white women and women of color shared this sentiment, 55 percent of women of color felt like they were behind in their careers, compared to 44 percent of white women. Women also overwhelmingly agreed that they had been treated differently within the music industry (78 percent), while over half of respondents felt that their gender had affected their employment (52 percent). These numbers were more pronounced among women who identified themselves as self-employed or freelancers.“

“Established in 2012, Women in Music Canada (WIM-C) is a federally registered non-profit organization dedicated to fostering equality in the music industry through the support and advancement of women. Nordicity developed and deployed an online survey to gather the key profile information about women working in the music industry in Ontario. The survey was targeted at individuals working in the music industry in Ontario and received 455 usable responses.”

“The survey was publicly available and spread through a wide variety of music industry websites, social media, newsletters and mailing lists by independent PR firm, rock-it promotions. On the basis of the large sample size and lack of obvious selection bias, the survey sample can reasonably be considered a randomized sample of the women working in the music industry.”

Which is a better country for the aspiring immigrant Canada or the UK?

Although the preference between the two countries would differ according to the prospective of the applicant, but below mentioned are certain facts which can help you make your choice:

1. You acquire Canadian PR the instant you arrive in Canada as an immigrant. The UK, on the other hand, does not give you PR; instead, it gives you an immigrant visa, which you can convert to ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) after 5 years in the UK. As a result, the immigration systems in each country are vastly different.

2. Compared to the UK, where high taxes must be paid and citizenship cannot be applied for six years, Canada allows residents to apply for citizenship in three years with modest taxes.

3. Both nations provide free education to children, but you will be eligible for child benefits once you obtain your Permanent Resident Card in Canada, making it much simpler to get by during the difficult initial year. You won't get any child benefits in the UK until you get your ILR, which takes 5 years.

4. In Canada, you don't need to prove a minimum quantity of pay, however, in the United Kingdom, you must maintain a minimum level of salary (which is very high) in order to be eligible for the UK ILR. Not only that, but taxes in the United Kingdom are about half of what they are in Canada.

5. The United Kingdom has an edge in terms of weather and proximity to Asian countries. In the winter, Canada is blanketed in snow, and it rains for the majority of the month.

6. Canada (for example, Ontario) requires a lot of paperwork and a high IELTS score, whereas in the UK, you may get away with a simple checklist of papers and a much lower IELTS score, as well as a shorter visa processing period. As a result, getting into Canada is tough and time consuming, but once you are there, your prospects of becoming a Canadian citizen are very good, and the same is true for the UK.

How to get a Driving License in Canada as a New Immigrant

To enjoy Canada to the fullest, it’s a good idea to start thinking about how you will get around. Depending on where you’re from, you may or may not be allowed to start driving right away.

Each province has different rules surrounding driving with a foreign license, so you’ll want to pay close attention.

In this post, we’ve answered your top questions for how to legally drive a car in Canada as a newcomer. For brevity, we’ve focused on the six most popular provinces for immigrants in 2020: Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

Can you apply an international driving license in Canada?

Your first question is most likely “can I drive on my foreign license in Canada?” and the answer depends on a few factors.

If you’re from one of the following countries and can prove you’ve driven alone for two years, then you’re eligible for an equal trade car license in all six popular provinces (unless stated otherwise). This means you won't have to take the knowledge nor road test and exchanging your current license is a fairly easy one.

These countries are:

Austria

Australia (except Quebec)

Belgium (except B.C or Manitoba)

France

Germany

Ireland (except Quebec)

Isle of Man

Japan (except Manitoba)

Netherlands (some exceptions within the country and not valid in Ontario and Manitoba )

South Korea

Taiwan

Switzerland

USA

United Kingdom

If your license is from one of these countries, you’re in luck. If your license is not, you can still get a local license, however, the process will be a longer one for you.

Note: Whether your license is from one of the eligible countries or not, it’s often a good idea to get a driving license extract (or DL extract) from your country’s license issuing authority as proof of your driving history and to validate your current license.

If you’re from an eligible country and have an eligible license, but are a student or don’t plan to take up residency in the province you’re traveling, then you’ll want to get familiar with the concept of an International Driving Permit, or IDP.

We’ll talk about IDP next: what it is and how to get one.

International Driving Permit

An IDP is a document that, along with your foreign license, allows you to drive in other countries for purposes of tourism. Not every country accepts an IDP, but Canada does. An IDP also translates your license into English and French, so it’s a good idea to get one if your license isn’t yet in English or French.

Generally if you’re a student from an eligible country, you don’t have to trade in your foreign license for the province’s license. You’ll be allowed to drive on your foreign license for as long as your study permit is active. Some provinces, like Alberta, require you to have a copy of your classes with you when you drive, so double check your province for local rules.

It is best practice to get your IDP before you leave the country where your license was issued and keep in mind that it generally lasts one year from the date it’s issued (unless your current driving license expires first).

Canadian License Requirements by Province

For the most part, when you move to a new province you can drive with your international license (if it’s a valid, full license) for the first 90 days unless otherwise specified. However, if you plan to take up residency in a specific province, you’ll want to look into exchanging your license as soon as possible.

Now we’ll cover some important things to know for each of the six provinces:

Ontario

Unlike most of the other provinces, you can only drive with a foreign license for the first 60 days while you settle down in Ontario. This is if you plan to become a resident.

The license types in Ontario are different from the types available in other provinces. Here’s a few of them you may want to be familiar with:

Class G: Allows you to drive any car, van, or small truck Class G1: Restricted license and must be accompanied by an experienced driver. Level one of graduating licensing Glass G2: Restricted license but you do not have to be accompanied. Level two of graduating licensing. Class M: Allows you to drive any motor vehicle, including a motorcycle. Class M1: First level of graduated licensing to drive a motor vehicle. Class M2: Second level of graduated licensing to drive a motor vehicle. Less restrictions than Class M1.

If your current full license is from an eligible country, you are allowed to exchange your license for an Ontario license at an Ontario Drivetest centre. There are two additional countries that are eligible for an equal trade:

Korea

New Zealand

If you are eligible, you still need to complete an eye exam to complete the exchange and bring the following:

Original ID that shows your legal name, date of birth and signature (passport, PR card) Your eligible international licence to turn in Proof of your driving experience (DL extract with proof you’ve paid for it) Applicable fees Application form

If your license is not from an eligible country, you will also have to take a written test and a road test. If you have less than two years of experience driving, you will have to take the G1 road test and wait until you have accumulated two years to take the G2 road test.

All legitimate confirmation of permanent residence (COPR) holders can now complete the process of entering Canada after a 15-month waiting period due to the COVID-19 epidemic and border closings. In the event of a pandemic in early 2020, Canada still has many COVID-related immigration regulations that potential immigrants should be aware of, such as COVID test certificates for all passengers aged 5 and over. The following guidelines will help you apply for your stay in Canada.

Exceptionally, some landlords can accept the creditworthiness certificate of their country. To prove that you are not a risk renter, you should bring a copy of your resume, diploma or diploma, driver’s license, and birth certificate. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation recommend checking the local newspapers and real estate agencies in your preferred province for rental listings.

If you’ve opened a bank account, now is a good time to start building a realistic budget. The budget calculator makes it easy to find out what you need and how much you will need.

Gym memberships, cable television, and new home furnishings are among those desires that may not fit into your new budget. It’s also a good idea to set aside some extra cash each month to cover your increased living expenses. In some provinces, food and utilities can be more expensive than your home country, and the extra money you put aside could help you adapt to this change without breaking your budget. If possible, get a credit card as soon as possible so that you can build up a new credit history. Potential landlords, utilities, lenders, and employers in Canada will check your credit history and credit history to see if your financial situation is sound.
