In this video we are sharing step by step process to apply for Canada PR via express entry. Watch the video till the end if you are looking for information on "how to get Canada PR", "how to move to Canada", "how to come to Canada" or "Canada PR cost and timelines"
We don't like immigration agents! We are a young couple who started their Canadian Immigration journey in 2018 and will be moving to Canada early 2020. Over the course of our application, we have seen so many people getting screwed over by greedy / fraudulent immigration consultants who promise you the world in exchange for thousands of dollars and deliver a whole lot of bullshit; to an extent that in many cases, the applications get rejected, due to their negligence.
Therefore, we are taking matters in our own hands. After months of research and our own experience of applying for a Canadian PR, we came up with an e-book series & this TH-cam channel which would include - errors to avoid, perfect sample documents and alternate ways of immigrating to Canada - 100 pages of absolute goldmine between these 3 e-books - no filters, no premium versions to these ebooks... everything is out there.. in the open, for you to read and execute the process yourself! The TH-cam channel will compliment the e-book and add some personality and entertainment to the entire process :-)
Volume 1: Step by step express entry process from know nothing about immigration all the way to getting an invitation to apply (ECA, IELTS etc). Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Volume 2: Post ITA express entry process - documentation, samples, POF, Proof of work, medical, biometrics all the way to getting a stamped passport ;-) Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/

We have got our own condo and it’s been a year now. So I’m future you if plan to make a vdo on that pls let me know I can give you a lot of information.
Lastly I would like to say keep up the great work and Simran Didi has an amazing screen presence 😀

lots of layers guys fleece scarves thermals fleece lined gloves this is canadian cold and the wind chill makes it a killer take care

Amazinggg✨👌✨
Make sure you register this Card online on Presto website, so that if you somehow lose the card, you can block it and transfer the entire amount into a new card. Comes handy, my wife has lost couple of times, so it has always come handy.
Done 👍
So now when you had to use intarem, would you be getting that boost in credit score as you had mentioned earlier regarding wired transfer?? I will be doing this transact in around 15 days. If you could please clarify then I would prefer instarem
Guys, waiting for your next video.
😃👍
Guys you are so sweet... Love you
If moving to canada.
What you suggest for couple with 2kids?
A. Move all together
B. Move main applicant and settle with accommodation and job then bring family (dont know if its allowed as part of express entry)
Can the Presto be linked to your credit card for automatic top up?
Hee bro I am SHAMSHAD a S/W developer from New delhi.you guy's are sharing a great information for new commers. I am one among them.👍
😃👍
Can you please share your contact number if possible.
Love u bro keep it up
🤗
very nice guys 👍 and full enjoy life 👑🔥
Thanks 🙏🙇
Markham is a good location compared to Etobicoke. As a new comer still its better to chose North York, Mid Town and Scarborough for better public transportation. In addition try to switch to another bank after you settle down(within 1 month after pandemic spread is controlled). Scotiabank wont benefit you much. Try Cibc or RBC. Good luck
Thanks for the tips 👍
Good information!! So in $1300 is Wi-Fi, water , power including .
Yes, all inclusive
MashaAllaha Beautiful couple God bless you
😍
Hi Guys! Firstly, thanks for sharing highly valuable information and helping us prepare for the steps upon landing in Canada. Did you guys open a common bank A/C or separate ones? Also, did you guys get both the credit cards (for both of you) against a common bank A/C?
We opened separate bank accounts
Love your videos, appreciate all the hardwork and efforts that you put into making them.Thank you :) I have a question with regards to wire transfer.Do we need to convert the existing savings bank account in home country into a NRO/NRE account prior to moving to Canada inorder to proceed with wire transfer?
Not mandatory unless you want to send money from canada to india in the short term.
@@Potatotalkies Thank you :)
Hi simran di and bhaiya, please make the video on short term courses with cheap plans .and at which age ?

You guys opened two separate checking accounts?

Is there a cash deposit limit which pardons those charges?
Why not RBC?
1. Yes
2. No monthly charges for 1 year
3. 4000 dollars average balance
4. No big reason... I found scene rewards better

Did you guys even thought of going for CIBC instead of Scotia ? I’m confused as to for my GIC shall I opt for Scotia or CIBC?
Both are good.

Is it difficult to get tourist Visa, as I have no travelling history
Hey, the process is quite simple and is available on official CIC website.
U can book airbnb before landing? And where did u land? How much money one should have to survive in first month atleast with baby as well.
Yes wel booked an Airbnb in Toronto. We have made a video on our first month expenses, you can check that video
Really like your videos... but can you tell what is the current situation is in canada for international students who wants to travel for may intake

Will I get full marks for 3 years of foreign experience?
Thank you
Yes.. it shoukd be fine.
Nyc video u guys
Thanks 🙏🙇
Guys now its time to get a mic. Your channel is growing.
😃👍
Thanks for the useful video guys. :) The best thing I like about your videos is that it is very informative and fun filled :) I have two questions. What is the preferred way to open bank accounts? What I meant is that, did you all open two separate accounts for both of you or one joint account for both of you? And did you all get two credit cards for the same account? TIA :)
We opened two separate accounts for the both of us. Separate accounts therefore separate credit cards. When you go to the bank for opening account, you can ask them what are the benefits of joint vs separate
@@Potatotalkies - Thanks a lot :)
1. Did your 1300 CAD which was in Scotia bank’s International account got sent bank to your Indian bank, once it didn’t get credited to your Chequing account due to address mismatch?
2. Did you open account eventually with the cash you had carried?
1. Yes
2. Yes
Hey guys.. we are also planning to land somewhere about june end. Saw In one of ur videos that you are from West Delhi. I am also from Paschim vihar. Hope to meet you in Canada soon.
Ps. Your videos are very informative for a newcomer
Is it possible to travel by June with the current situation
Thanks neighbour!
@@Potatotalkies hi.do u think it's possible to travel by June or July to Canada from India with the current situation
You can get Presto card at a Shoppers Drug mart as well. Also, recommend this Facebook group - Indians in Toronto.
Thanks 👍

Hi guys.. i wanted to ask u guys that how u decided where to stay in canada. As u both are un aware about ur respectv job locations. Plz make a video on how to decide abt in which province to reside
That's why we got a month on month accomodation, so that we can move anytime we want to (once we get our jobs)
Potato Talkies thnkew so much. U guys do amazing wrk👏🏻👏🏻
We were new last year...i donot furnish it much except bed ...and use things already in basement..though its old like a dining table total mismatch...coz in starting it waste lot of money...one sofa cum bed is good option..and tv stand....try to save as much money as you can in starting...even dont spend much money on clothes also...weather is always changing..and trends also...every two weeks new clothing is there in stores...first explore then purchase....better use big sales that will come in nov.. And dec...and moreover all depends on job....sometimes after few months people wish to change city....then so much things cant b carry...all depends on that place suits you....
Thanks 🙏🙇
Moreover summers mein bahut sales hoti second hand households ki that are in very good condition...especially furniture....join facebook marketplace......garage sales...value village also provide furniture....once i got a tv stand really in good condition for just 19$. Else it comes near 70$ and more...without car its difficult..save money and .better take a car that then spending on house decor n all....all the best...
Utilise this time for preparing g1 drive test..i download an app and study on it ...wen crona will go then give that test....
I am trying telling so much becoz i have done such mistakes...given G1 but not G2 ..i wanted to give in summer and due to such situation all plan fails and cant purchase car coz no licenceG2 and now its difficult...so its best to use this time ....wen summer will arrive you can prepare G2 road test.In winters its difficult..car is needed
Hiii...thax for giving us info....via ur videos..
I want to ask u......about ECA...I have 3 degrees....B.A(DU 3years), B.Ed(GGSIPU 1year) and M.A(IGNOU 2years)..should I assess all degrees?
If you are a teacher - then yes all degrees. Else, only BA ans MA from ces will be good
Thax for ur reply.....
Yes I have been teaching (mathematics) since 8 years and I have done BA and B.Ed both in #mathematics# but M.A in @English@....
So assesment of MA degree is worth for us......and one more thing could u suggest from where should I assess the degrees

Hello , just have query , after landed in canada , how we ll find our accommodation for few days . for me i don't know any one , who can help me there.

Potato Talkies - Canada in 2014 I came to Dubai from India, I have struggled and settled over here, so now I'm feeling, I have 2nd phase ahead, let's see, I'm very beginner, just initiate my WES account, let's hope for best, I hope u guys help me out all the way to my journey.
Especially thanks for Ebook, it's Bible for me.
Hi man, my WES results are out.
It’s showing “bachelor degree (3 years) and bachelor’s degree (4 years)”
They have considered by MBA as 4 years bachelors degree.
Now Can I consider this result as 2 or more degrees ?
How come they consider your 4yr MBA program as 4yr degree program.
Yes you can 👍
They considered my 2 years MBA program as 4 years graduation degree. It happens with many. Don’t know how they evaluate
It’s important to register your presto online, so if in case you lose the card you can block it right away and not lose funds.. also try transit app..
Yes, done that now 👍
Dear potato couple pl guide for investors visa i need to know for investors whole amount 600k $ all cash in account or property values include

Hi Navjot,
Once you landed Canada you were not having any rented home. So where did you stayed till you found your rented home.
Please make a video on this topic too once landing canada where one can reside till he/she finds rented property. As I am planning to come canada by my wife so eager to know how we will survive.
We stayed in an airbnb for the first 18 days, to give us time to look for accomodation. We have a video on that too
Thank you very much for giving your valuable time from your busy schedule and replying on my query.
One more query I have as I said earlier in my last query that I am planning to come with my wife so, is it important or necessary to give her IELTS or apply for ECA? As we are planning that we both will work there as she also carry Bachelor's degree.
If possible please make one video considering that if anyone coming with their family or with his/her husband/wife then what steps should one take in that case.
Bhaiya ek request hai aap dono microphone use kero voice kabhi kabhi bahut kam aati hai baki video no 1 hai

Potato Talkies Thn how can One reach there with huge amount
