Fundamental Needs of New Immigrants
By:

First of all, on behalf of fellow Canadian Indians, we congratulate and welcome you and your family members to Canada. You are here to make your fortune and live a life with a difference. For that I will suggest you to start early with positive attitude in belief and actions. The following issues are most urgent and fundamental

1. Housing
2. Social Security
3. Bank Account
4. Health & Medical
5. Education
6. Job
7. Driving License
8. Child Tax Benefit
9. Income Tax
10. Driving License

In this issue I will explain the issue of housing in Canada and other issues will be discussed in future (once every week – to be posted by Sunday evening)

HOUSING: The moment you land in Canada, you have to first of all look for a house if you have not arranged one before landing in Canada. Ideally one should arrange housing in Canada before landing here. There are number of alternatives for initial period of living in Canada:
1. Renting
2. Paying Guest accommodation
3. Host program
4. Living with relatives/guests

Following factors are to be considered to decide the accommodation required for your family:
1. Family Size – Family size has a direct relationship with the accommodation you have to look for. As per Canadian Laws, if you have any child of more than 12 years of age, he may not share room with any other child of different sex. In other words, if you have two children one boy and one girl, and anyone is more than 12 years of age, you have to take separate room for that child.
2. Location – location is another very important factor. You have to consider the locations proximity to place of employment (prospective employment) of yourself and your spouse, educational institutions of your children, shopping mall, doctors and hospitals etc. Even if you may have your own vehicle, it is always advisable to have your rented premises close enough to schools, hospitals, shopping mall etc
3. Cultural Background- There is different opinions about the importance of cultural background. For some persons, being close to their own community is very important and for others it may not be as dominating factor. Some people are comfortable with all communities rather they like to interact with different community. However you have to decide after careful thought and considering the views of other family members.
4. Rent Expense: Calculate the amount of rent you may pay according to your financial position and earned income. Generally speaking, your rent expenses should not be more than 30-40% of your monthly income. Lower the rent, more it will be beneficial however other factors are equally important. Particularly considering our family and social values and thinking, children are our most valuable asset, so I will advise you not to take any risk in terms of their education, upbringing or personality development. Give them ideal environment to grow, learn and develop their life.
5. Type of Accommodation: You may look upon the different options available in the market
Basement Apartment (house) – Basement apartments are apartments made in the basements of the house. There may be high rise basement apartment or ordinary basement apartment. Basement apartment are lower in rent as compared to Multi storey apartment.
Rented Apartment (Multistory) – You may look for an apartment in a Rented Apartment Building or Condominium Building. Rents of Rented Apartment Buildings are lower as compared to Condominium Buildings. You may choose according to your needs and suitability.
6. Education: In Canada, you may have public or private education for your children. And even public education is further divided into two group of general public (non Catholic) and Catholic public schools. Generally, one like to have public school run by Government of Canada for their kids. Every region is having its own school board. You may log on to the website of concerned district school board. Every school has its own performance evaluations available for public to view. On that basis you may choose the school while considering other factors as well.

The houses available for rent may be viewed through internet (main websites listed below), newspaper (Toronto star, local and regional newspaper), free renting magazines (Renter News etc) networking (friends and relatives), local grocery shops (flyers displayed on bulletin boards.

When you are looking for a rented premises, do not disclose your social security number unless you are comfortable in providing the same. Social Security Number is solicited by the renters to find out more information about yourself, your credit history, criminal history etc.

Once you have finalized your deal for rent, you may ask for the rent agreement. Rent agreement is the document to define rights, obligations of yourself and your landlord. In case of dispute it will be referred to by the civil courts. You should also obtain a Rent Receipt from the landlord either monthly or annually. This receipt should be submitted with your return of income for claiming GST Credit (I will explain later on about this issue). Without the submission of receipt, GST claim may be rejected or reduced as per the law.

Tenant Protection Act protects the tenants and landlords in Canada. The text of the law may be viewed at the website of http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/
However the rules, forms, publications issued by Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal may be viewed at http://www.orht.gov.on.ca/scripts/index_.asp?LG_ID=1

I hope the above information will be helpful. However in case anyone is interested to know further in the matter of housing, please feel free to write to me at

Some old member of this forum really have Superiority Complex and its very visible the way they reply to other people. Arrey bhai logon agar aap already Canada mein ho, iska yeh matlab nahi ki aap Hindustan mein rahne waalon se ooper ho. I can only say respect the sentiments whoever he/she might be.



If the old members had any superiority complex, this site would not have developed to the stage where it is today, and where people can really look forward to genuine advice and guidance.

And just because they are in Canada, they do not feel that they are superior to people living in India (perhaps inferior at times, but definitely not superior!!!)

Correcting someone's way of communicating is definitely not equivalent hurting their sentiments - and at times it becomes necessary to correct someone by using their own language, so it might be easier for them to understand!

If you read the original post, you will realise that it is not only expressed in an undesireable manner, but even the contents are ..........I do not know how to express it........there can be so many derogatory words but I do not want to start a new debate on that .

People have to realise that once they are on a public forum, they have to express themselves in a more responsible and intelligent manner - and not consider this place as college cafeteria.

And if you really have problems with a particular old member, discuss this matter in a mature manner and be a man enough to provide constructive arguments and critisism, rather than just calling that they have superiority complex. You just do not realise how much are these senior member doing for better information to all intending and new immigrants, not only on the net, but behind the scenes too.

And there are times when such posts really test your patience and provoke sarcasm - at that time, not only blame the person who has been sarcastic, but also the person who evoked such a reaction.

People who are into this kind of writing should realise that SMS messaging is not as popular over here in Canada as it is in India and the UK. Not only is this kind of writing difficult to decipher, but it's time consuming to try to read and the poster is hindering their chances of their post ever being read, understood and answered properly. Also, when you write like that in a public forum, you are perhaps telling the world, this is how I write normally. It's hardly professional, and something you should keep in mind when enquiring about jobs! You are not creating a very good first hand impression of yourself.

Take the time to write properly...and people will take the time to answer your post properly.

Just something to think about for all you SMSers out there!
