One way or round trip?
Are you expected to purchase a return ticket to Canada if you are
arriving as a landing immigrant? Getting a one-way tix seems to invite lots of questions. The visa is no guarantee that you will be allowed entry into Canada, is it? I mean there is always a slim chance that something goes wrong at the customs and you are turned away...On the other hand, having a return tix seems to indicate to the other party that you don't intend to stay for long... |
Re: One way or round trip?
A one way ticket is just fine. No need to get fancy.

Re: One way or round trip?
You can enter on a one way tix for landing , only vistors visa requires return tix .. if for some reason your immigration gets rejected ,which is rare and would happen if you cause suspicion in their minds then your would get shipped back at the airlines or Canadas expense I am not sure who is the party that pays for it...
If you are sure of getting turned back the choice is between Economy (if you purchase )and Baggage class(If some the airline flies u back) .. Take your pick .. :-) Originally posted by Splitman2000 Are you expected to purchase a return ticket to Canada if you are arriving as a landing immigrant?

Given that a round trip ticket can often be purchased more cheaply than a one way, it is not at all uncommon for immigrants to buy RTs and only use half! |

But if you are a landed IMMIGRANT you are supposed to stay for long, there's no obligation to stay after landing but the whole point of being an immigrant is that you will stay there, isn't it? -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |
Re: One way or round trip?
not necessarily, sometimes it may take a few trips back and forth till one
is able to completely relocate! in my case, I've been in the US for 12+ years and I intend to make a few trips before finally moving to Canada...can't just show up with a truckload of goods at the border and not have a place to store it, or a place to sleep! :-) "AM" wrote in message news:[email protected]... > > On the other hand, having a return tix seems to indicate to the other > party > > that you don't intend to stay for long... > But if you are a landed IMMIGRANT you are supposed to stay for long, there's > no obligation to stay after landing but the whole point of being an > immigrant is that you will stay there, isn't it? > -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- > http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! > -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |
Re: One way or round trip?
Thanks to all for your input. The reason why I thought of a one-way
tix is exactly because I intend to remain in Canada as long as I can, for that's the essence of applying for PR isn't it? However, I became concerned because the agencies I checked out seemed apprehensive and of course there's the slim chance that I might be rejected at the customs. Now that I've been reassured, I will go ahead with a one-way. Thanks again. |

Return tickets are often open ie. you can return at any time in the following 6 months time (sometimes it can even be 1 year). Also, buying a return ticket is often cheaper than buying a one way ticket. The irony is that , the airlines takes two way from you even if you buy a one way ticket. Considering stories of recent immigrants (about hot tough it is to get a job there) - if you ever need to return to your home, it is always wiser to have a return ticket!

Re: One way or round trip?
You do have a point but suppose you do ok, then the return part
becomes useless and the tix effectively becomes more expensive, or you are sort of forced to make a trip home before the expiry in order not to waste it. Then when you need to go back to Canada again, you will face the problem of whether to purchase a one-way or return tix again... Maybe by then you will be more sure... ------------- sbasak wrote in message news:... > Return tickets are often open ie. you can return at any time in the > following 6 months time (sometimes it can even be 1 year).

I just did a search on travelocity. Round trip London to Toronto with a 90 day return after April 20 - $964 One way London to Toronto on April 20 - $1233 So, you tear up the return if you don't use it, and you're still better off! The airline isn't too happy when you do that, but that's their lookout. > > ------------- > sbasak wrote in message news:... > > Return tickets are often open ie. you can return at any time in the > > following 6 months time (sometimes it can even be 1 year).

Re: One way or round trip?
From my experience, single is cheaper than return in absolute terms.
It's more expensive in the sense that it costs more than half of what a return costs instead of exactly half. In fact, it's often not much cheaper than a return. However, if one is sure one does not need to return to one's country of origin in the foreseeable future, I think it's logical to purchase a single ticket. Once you're comfortably settled in Canada, you get a return in Canada to visit your country of origin. Am I making sense? |
