Frankfurt Airport
Susan House with Rocky
After 3 years and 3 months we got the Canadian immigrant visa, its a single entry visa which is valid till the expiry of the Medical Test (less than a year). We booked on Air Canada airlines from Dubai to Toronto with connection through Frankfurt.
The first flight from Dubai to Frankfurt was with Lufthansa airlines, it took 6.5 hours, we had to wait to for 4 hours for the next flight (air Canada) to Toronto which took 7.5 hours, after arrival we spent about 1.5 hours till we get out off the airport (2 hours from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, 2 hours waiting for the flight, 6.5 to Germany, 4 transit, 7.5 second flight, 1.5 in Toronto airport = Hell), Susan (my cousin) and her son (Mohamed) were waiting for us (time was 2:30 pm Canada time). we went to their house, then Mohamed and I went to the guy who is renting the apartment. we took the keys and we droped the bag there, after that we went back to my cousin apartment where we had great lunch :). Mohamed has a Dog called Rochy, Lara and Nadeen got crazy while playing with him.
After lunch, Hemsa, Mohamed and I went to the bank to open an account. Then we went home and fall a sleep.
Day 2 (Social insurance Number Day), we went with Mohamed to the office which responsible for issuing the SIN, and it took about half an hour only to get the number on a piece of paper (till we get the card by mail), I went to the bank again to get a Credit card (the bank refused to give credit card if we have no SIN). We had lunch in Susan apartment then we went Grocery Shopping at Metro supermarket.
NB: to get the SIN people have to come in person if older that 18 years
Bashar Mazin Sim card which I got from UAE did not work, so I had to buy a new line, its a prepaid card, I credited it with $ 100 so that it will be valid for 1 year.
I spoke with Ali Amer, Ali Baiee, Anmar and Shireen. hopefuly we will meet them soon.
We have to go for the driving license and the OHIP in the coming few days.
