Landing in Canada is both exciting and overwhelming. Here's what to expect during your first 24 hours.

🛬 At the Airport

• Customs & Immigration Interview: Show your COPR, passport, and other documents.

• Verification: Officers may ask for proof of funds, housing plans, and return ticket (if applicable).

• Receive Your SIN (Sometimes at the airport)

🏠 Reaching Your Accommodation

• Book a temporary stay (hotel or Airbnb) for at least a week.

• Public transport is available in most cities — get a local transit card (like Presto in Toronto).

📞 Immediate To-Dos

• Buy a local SIM card (Freedom, Fido, or Public Mobile for budget options)

• Open a bank account (Scotiabank, TD, RBC often offer newcomer packages)

• Update friends/family about your arrival
