I am planning to do my first landing in Windsor Canada in this coming Summer (most probably by end of May). I am planing to come with my wife and son (1 yr. old) and planing to stay for a period of 1-1 1/2 months to complete the initial documentations. Pls. can anybody advice that how much money initially do we need bring there including government fees, how much need to open an Bank account, to apply for SIN, Health card, Traveling, Food, etc.
We are thinking of renting a furnished apartment (Studio or 1 bed room) instead of a hotel. Is it advisable? if and if any other necessary item which I missed above, Pls. appreciate your advice. I am currently reside in Dubai.
The cost of living between Windsor and Toronto is vast. If you're coming to Canada just to complete the initial documentation, Windsor would be a far cheaper option than Toronto. You should be a able to get short term in some sort of an aparment or private home for a few hundred dollars. Even a cheap hotel in Windsor could run you $90 / night. Try Craigslist for short term rentals.
How much money should you bring? I'd bring about 2.5K (probably way more than enough) to cover your rent, food, transportation for one and a half months. Bring a credit card as well to cover any emergency expenses.
no comparison in cost between windsor and toronto! Windsor is much cheaper. I wouldn't stay in a hotel but more a furnished accomodation you'll save alot of money
