移民杂记 之 三

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛在多伦多机场办手续就很普通啦,就说几点的:

1,在入境柜台,移民官要我出示带来的钱并作清点,然后填在我的移民纸上。虽然按要求我必须带够$10K,可是实际上只有6K,也能够pass. 可见携入钱数只是一个指导性的数额而已,大家不用太在意。

2,在行李大厅取行李时,普通的行李箱在传送台旁边取,如果是纸箱则单独在另一个角落放着(怕摔坏),开始时我不知道,傻傻地等了好久呢。

3,海关不一定会开箱查新移民的行李,但还是小心些好,不要有侥幸的心理。

4,领行李车要用一元硬币,可以用10,20美元的纸币在机器上换。

5,公用电话打多伦多市区是25cent每次,投quater硬币.

6,机场专门接待新移民的移民官会让你有到家的感觉!那时我心里就有一个想法,移民这路子是走对了。


我在机场打了电话给房东Louise,她得知我已经到了,非常的兴奋。可能原来她也想像不到从Internet上认识另一个国家来的新客人是什么感觉吧!我是提早了将近一个月向预订房间,她很好,就空着那房间等我了。

我是打的去到新住处的。司机开价很有意思,"Sixteen to twenty-one dollars?" 我也傻,就答应他20元了。后来想想,干嘛不就16元呢?司机看起来是西南亚裔人,头上有缠头。Sailor也真是孤陋寡闻了,还问他是不是Pakistain? (来之前听说多伦多有好多Pakistain开taxi) 他说自己是印度人,我才恍然----哪有巴基斯坦人戴缠头的啊?后来听说好多在印度属专业人士的移民来加后找不到工作,只好开taxi, 说不准那天的那位就是一位很厉害的教授呢!

晚上的多伦多马路上很安静,车子没多久就开到住处了。房东在门外放了一个发光的门牌号,所以很容易就找到。听到汽车声音出来迎接的是房东老先生Owen, 满头白发(其实也才五十几),我开始时都几乎不懂怎么用英语打招呼!

进了屋,有一股很温暖的感觉,地上是地毯,还有好多很古色古香的家具,怎么也想像不出这是一个普通的家庭。房东夫妇,还有另一个房客James,都热情地和我座谈。聊了好多,也打了电话回家,才觉得肚子饿了。Louise问我想吃什么东西?我一点概念都没有,一片茫然。她又问,sandwidge and milk? 我赶快说OK,她动作挺快,转眼就端来了,我尝了一口milk,哇,冷的!入乡随俗,肚子也真饿了,吃吧吃吧!

吃过了东西已经深夜了,Owen把我领到我的房间,在楼上,进了门一看,把我给看呆了:小小的房间里,有床,床垫,枕头被子床单一应俱全,写字桌台灯放衣服的柜子,还有壁柜,还有一部电话机,天哪!这哪是租房,这比酒店还要周到喔!Louise还非常歉意地跟我说,现在还没有TV set, 过几天会买一个小的放进来!

在又洁净又典雅的浴室里舒舒服服地洗了澡之后,我终于上床休息了。很晚了还睡不着,脑子里来来回回重现着从离家到抵达这长长的一程,又想起申请移民过程中的各种各样的细节 ......

      • HI, sailor, your article is not so boring as you described to me. It's interesting.
        I really support you to continue your diary. Though your major is not art, I think you are good at writing. Any more? Maybe in the future, I will also write sth. I hope I have more time... But I am so still so busy now.
      • Come on! tell us how you come to Toronto and what happened to you before you r sitting here..now u r still in Alaska in Sec'n 2!! haha...
      • 我看了你的贴子不知道为什么很难过?说不出来。我现在还在办理移民,还没有那样的体会,我想你在路上的时候一定很不好受。
    • I have the same feeling as you. The HK custome officer, a young guy was so kind to me. While the Chinese custom lady was so cool and bad manner. I still remembered the nice boy's smiling.
      Your diary reminds us those unforgettable experience passing the custom.
      **********************************
      You told me your story, I mean, your diary was not so attractive, so many people only the first part, I don't agree with you. I think it's good.
      Go on....

      • 要是我,也许会说"21 is ok.":)另:问一下你说的是临时的住处还是长期的租房?能用email或电话在中国这边定下房子来吗?
        • That's a none-temporary place. I set it before I left China.
      • 酱紫的房间每月租金多少呢?房东提供膳食?离YORK大学远吗?你还住那里吗?偶也想找酱紫的一间住所.呵呵
        • $400 includes foods. I moved out after 3 months' living. You may go to / 枫下黄页 / 生活网站 / 分类广告 to check those ads.
      • 好人有好命:)
    • 移民杂记 之四
      • 好勤奋的斑竹,又要改进程序,又要回答问题,又要写感想,佩服佩服!
        • 过奖啦。不过呢,网站能够用起来,心里是挺开心,也不觉得累啦。
          • Hi,Sailor,which language do you use to build this forum? I'm realy envious of you!
            • I use PHP.
      • 水手真的惬意呀.呵呵,办SIN和健康卡和开户应该在一天完成就会少跑很多路.CIBC信用和服务都不错吗?有没有看到网球场?是不是免费的啊?不知道在加能不能找到球友,呵呵.
        • about CIBC, & Tennis course
          The service of CIBC is excellent, at least I think so. I like the service as well as the staff in CIBC. The only shortcoming is that I have to pay monthly service fee and transaction fee, so I applied a TD checking account later.

          Now I only use the CIBC Visa and don't have any transaction with my CIBC checking account.

          There're lots of tennis courses in Toronto and you can easily find some partners. Maybe some courses are free, but most of them charge.
          • a piece of comment on CIBC and TD
            For the service charge, CIBC is better than TD right now. All your service charge will be waived when you keep your monthly balance over $1,000 which you can enjoy your ATM, interac, PC banking , telephone banking and writing your personal cheques free. When you keep the same balance in TD, they only offer you $3.95 service fee waived.
      • Hi, sailor, as you didn't meet any difficulties in finding a house, or hunting a job, so your artical is too attractive. You should tell friends some real hard situations, otherwise it will mislead those friends who are coming, right?
      • 看SAILOR的文章很过瘾阿
      • 这个家伙竟然把他的移民杂记放在小说故事里。// 那时侯$400管住还管吃呢,8错。
    • 东北的饺子翻箱倒柜的能力很强啊,一年以前的贴子都找出来了。不知道Sailor现在再看自己的文章,是什么心情?我是不停的想:哎呀哎呀,老的真快。
      • 看以前的帖子发现论坛和现在非常不同. 看得出SAILOR和其他几位同志出了很多力气. DANNYYANG还在么?不知道他还在温哥华抓螃蟹不? 感谢感谢!
        • DANNYYANG好久没来了,应该还在温哥华。
    • 和你的出关遭遇相反,我们是在广州白云机场出关的,当时,查证的官员很客气,还和我们谈了一大堆关于移民的问题。或许,是那个人对移民也很感兴趣吧。 但是,有一点我始终相信,即天底下绝大多数的人都是与人为善的。我们最大的不幸是天底下总有那么一些混蛋。
