Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of India

• If you plan to visit multiple cities during your trip to Canada, consider booking flights that land in Quebec City or Montreal. Quebec and Montreal are both located near Canada’s east coast, which will shorten your overall flight time. These cities are also well connected by road and public transport to other major Canadian cities, such as Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg.
• Domestic flights in Canada tend to be very expensive. This means it is usually cheaper to fly to whichever Canadian city you want to base yourself in during your stay, rather than flying to a nearby city and then taking a domestic flight.
• If you are planning to fly to Canada during the summer, there are several popular festivals and events which can increase flight prices to certain areas. For example, flights to Calgary in July may be more expensive due to the Calgary Stampede, which is attended by millions each year. The Vancouver Light Festival also takes place around this time, so it is a good idea to book summer flights to Vancouver well in advance.

Top 5 airlines serving from India to Canada

Old cabine without flat bed in business for a 12 hour flight is not acceptable

Medíocre. The food wasn't good (although not bad, bad) and the staff wasn't kind. I asked for n extra blanket, the steward never came back, serving us roughly.

Excellent apart from transport to actual plane 10 minutes from the actual gate , walking out in the tarmac in the rain and having to climb stairs to enter while holding luggage.

They wanted to close counter although they did not provide the wheelchair requested which ended by going alone to transit security and lost long time and they did not want to wait .

Did not find the wheelchair that supposed to assist and went to a long queue for transit security chk which was very slow and boarding desk wanted to close counter although that they knew that I am minutes away because of their mistake of not providing the wheelchair.

They charge me for luggage which is was included on the ticket

Good aorcraft 777 but Worst food ever Breakfast was a bû’with matonnaise… Staff was nice but invisible most of the flight

Business class in the second leg - CDG-EVN was a disaster.

Food could have been better especially the breakfast. Overall it was a good flight

Lost luggage, 2 bags were badly damaged and one of the bags came open.

It was a domestic flight so the food was not included. But we had not even a little snack and by the end of the flight they were coming around serving water.

My flight from Victoria was late taking off and then I was rebooked on a new flight from Vancouver to SFO without my knowledge the next day. I actually made it to the gate on time so I could have boarded my flight but Air Canada rebooked me instead. Completely unprofessional and unpleasant experience with no grace from the Air Canada staff. I will not fly Air Canada again

It was great to check carryon luggage at no charge when there was no room for ours. A hidden benefit of having low-tier tickets. Also great to stay off plane as long as possible. Airline gave us seats we wanted on this last leg, again at no charge.

The late departure Of two hours waitresses, immature, and gossiping

We had a good flight, service was good and lots of leg room. Service was good and the staff were friendly.

This is not really an Air Canada item, but the PA system un the Cancun airport is very poor. Any passenger announcements or changes were basically inaudible.

Overall I will say it was a very good experience. It was as comfortable as can be expected for such a long flight - 12 hours from Toronto to Tokyo. Everyone was very pleasant and polite. Even the passengers were cooperative and trying to be nice to each other. Of course the space is limited on such a long flight. The bathrooms were actually very clean. The food was very good. I liked how there was a variety of food options. The in flight entertainment system was also very impressive! There were some children on the flight but they were well behaved and hardly ever crying. Great Job Canada Air! I will definitely fly with Air Canada again!

My wife and I especially liked the fact that the Toronto agent went beyond expectation to allow my wife and I to sit together. There was no option for us when we booked our seats. Very thankful!

Seats could be more comfortable and food can be better and price was too high

It was upsetting that the flights were canceled but that was due to weather. I did not receive any vouchers for food or a hotel stay when I was forced to spend the night in Montreal. I was also upset when my seat was changed many times.. The plane seemed old with a non-functioning screen and loose side pockets.. All in all in need of updating. On the positive side, the staff in areas was friendly and helpful.

We were helped whenever needed and had a pleasant flight.

Air Canada from Edmonton to Toronto was disappointing but Lufthansa from Toronto to Frankfurt was excellent.

I'm Canaadian. I hate Air Canada. I used to give them a pass on their international service. No longer, They suck across the board now! Old planes, exhausted staff bad food and shitty entertainment. Your seats need reupholstered! Start with that...

Very poor, flight cancelled, no help from Lufthansa customer service.

bad seats, meager food quantity. bread not fresh. Hollywood films lack entertainment.

Great flight. Left on time, not very crowded. Quiet and the right temperature.

terrible. they cancelled the flight 1 day before flying out and just sent an email to inform the same. i had to scramble on my own paying more to find another flight.

Boarding is as always an issue. Slow and long boarding time.

The flight was cancelled, and no reason was given. The flight was rebooked 3 days later. Calling customer service was next to impossible. There was no option to get in a queue in the phone call. It simply said all agents are busy call back later. It is 2024 and not 1970s to have such outdated technology. Live chat was even worse as I was 753 in line and it kept getting timed out. The icing on the cake was that the working hours was something like 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM? Really for international airline when the flights usually depart early in the morning? Things only got worse in the check-in counter in Mumbai. The monitor in the check-in counter said that the flight was on time even though it was cancelled. There were 2 agents helping a 747 full of passengers. It was 5:30 AM by the time I checked into the hotel. I tried reaching Kayak (Chatdeal via email) days before the onward flight from Seattle and no one cared to respond even after reminder. I will go with Expedia in the future. In fact, for my next trip to Japan I have already used Expedia.

Only two check in counters for online bag drop, economy and premium economy clients, NO management supervision whatsoever, no announcements, whilst Business and first class had three check in counters operational, with the bulk of clients flying economy on a 747…..very poor service indeed. Stood in a queue for two hours to check in!!!!!! The flight crew were equally indifferent.

Very Stress free Lounges were superb. Crews were caring. I loved it.

The layover time was barely 1.30 hrs and the security clearance sucks. I almost missed my flight but for the help of a manger. She held the flight for me. My baggage did not arrive. The entertainment did not work, I had to switch my seat 3 times for different issues. The travel was not fun

It took over an hour to check in my bag a there was just one person at the counter. Security lines for business class also took a while. Although I reported 3 hours before my flight I made it to the gate 20 mins before boarding. To add to that jewelry was removed from my checked in baggage. I am submitting a separate complaint to Mumbai airport for that.

Great and pleasant service and smooth flight with wonderful and clean amenities.

Never got on this AA flight since British Airways delayed my original flight 29 hours

International flight from CCU to MIA . paid 1235 dollars at this low season. NO CHECK IN BAGGGAE ALLOWED ?????????????? NOT EVEN ONE?????????? Never ever I will even thing about buying tickets and flying with them again. Just A BIG NO

Biz class has a middle seat. 🙄. WiFi only for first class. No free seat assignments. Basically nickel and dime approach. They need to take lessons from Singapore Air and the likes. Never again.

I have not used food or entertainment all other services I used were simply excellent. BA crew is always good in service. The BA Crew at anygiven flight is simply amazing.

the headphone jack was damaged making it impossible to keep a clear sound. while it is beyond the airline's control how many children are on each flight, it becomes very difficult to enjoy the flight when there are 5 or 6 children all crying and screaming at the same time. I know there is no good solution at the industry level, but I think there are good reasons to try to develop some solutions rather than just say it is the luck of the draw. maybe you could show a seating map where children who are booked are a different color, that would allow us to know what to expect and possibly rebook to a different seat or take a different flight. maybe some of the covid-related ideas about redesigning the cabin for more privacy and hygiene could be further developed and tested. on my leg from London to Washington DC, the passenger next to us was coughing consistently for long periods of time. it was obvious she had been ill and knew it before boarding. this leads me to think we should consider additional screening measures because some of the public is no longer acting responsible or ethical in regards to covid and health protocols. just answering questions on a check-in survey does not seem sufficient to convince people to not fly when they are ill and symptomatic.

My flight from London to Washington was rescheduled without notification which clashed with my Abuja to London flight. At the end of the day thy had canceled my Washington flight. This resulted in stopping at New York to board a local flight American Airline but I have. Been at New York airport for the past 12 hrs . I am not yet home because of flight disappointment

Entertainment system was not working and was told I would get a voucher and have not got one. No toiletries were available not even a toothbrush false sweet talk by ground staff

Not comfortable for sitting. Sits are too close to each other and it’s too hard for butt..you need to improve your entertainment section like tv programming, Movies, it’s so hard to kill 15 hrs in long flights .you don’t serve good food like other competitive airlines thats my opinion

Worst International flight I ever had in my whole life time. Boarding is the worst of all and flight experience was also not good. Screens were not working, seats were not comfortable and lot more.

Comfortable seats, on time departures and arrival, and helping staff

Very very impressed with the proactive care and alertness with which ABHISHEK Chowdhary took care of us. Quietl,dignified , very alert, and meticulous. Very impressed. Also with SUNiL Kumar who was there for us in a very helpful way. SHERLY ALEX On Flight 119, BOM TO JFK CUSTOMER ON SEAT 21C, 21ST March 2024

If you are traveling to mumbai -- must try SFO - MUM direct flight. It's a game changer when you are traveling to India. Timings are well designed, optimal and makes the travel enjoyable.

On time boarding, proper information, friendly and cordial approach of staff, particularly crew members and the most important timely available of checked in baggage after arrival.

Air India needs to launch new planes. Seats are worn out, most of the plane's TV screens wasn't working, USB charging ports wasn't working as well so I can charge my phone & watch my download movies, Food was mediocre, the plane smells. How can Air India put through their customers with this bad experience? This complaint needs to get escalated to the upper management. How shameful is the upper management to improve this plane? The flight is going back & forth from NEW YORK & DELHI. Two of the big cities in the world and this is how your experience is for sitting in a plane for 12+ hrs? Get your planes fixed ASAP Air India (TATA Management do your job right).

One of my worst experiences. Nothing was working in the flight. Entertainment system was broken, seat was very uncomfortable, crew did not offer water until food was provided, lights were not working, attendant call was not working. In short everything was broken and duct taped.

Air India need a big change of in all departments.

How to reach Canada from India

The best and only way to travel from India to Canada is by airways. The flight distance from India to Canada is about 11,600 km and it takes about 17 hours on average to reach Canada. As Canada is located in the other half of the world from India when divided longitudinally, it takes more than 10 hours to reach here. Moreover, Canada is bound by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It means Canada is connected to only one country via land, which is the United States of America.

To cover the India to Canada distance , tourists can opt for flights operating between multiple Indian cities to at least 4-5 Canadian cities. Toronto and Vancouver are probably the most frequented one. Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, and Montreal also get many flights every day from India. Most of them are not direct and have layovers at cities of the States or of Europe. The ones having breaks in Europe definitely take more time since they travel through the longer route via west. Once landed in Canada, one can take cabs, shuttles, trains or other public transports to go to different cities in Canada.

India to Canada: The Ultimate Travel Guide for International Students

Are you preparing for your first international travel to Canada as an International student or Permanent resident? Look no further, as this post will guide you through the process with ease.

In this post, I’ll share 15 simple steps you need to take to ensure a successful international travel experience esp. from India to Canada.

Additionally, I’ll share my own firsthand experience of traveling alone from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Terminal 3), New Delhi to Toronto Pearson International Airport (Terminal 1), Mississauga via Air India’s AI 187 flight.

Traveling alone in a foreign country as an International student for the first time can seem overwhelming. With so many rules and procedures to navigate, including those related to airlines, check-in, immigration, and security, it’s easy to feel lost.

But don’t worry! This post will give you a detailed overview of the entire travel process, from the moment you leave for the airport in India to the moment you exit the airport in Canada. By following these 15 steps, you’ll be able to make the most of your first-time travel experience.

And if you prefer videos over text, be sure to check out my step-by-step guide video. That way, you’ll not only read about the process but also see it in action.

Don’t let the unknowns of international travel overwhelm you. Follow this guide and make your first international trip to Canada a breeze. Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey? Let’s go!

My name is Zohair Ansari, and I am an international student currently studying at Sheridan College. I applied and got accepted at Sheridan College for the fall of 2022.

I submitted my application for a Study Visa in May 2022. But unfortunately, due to processing delays, I was unable to leave for Canada right away and had to begin my studies remotely from India. However, as soon as my visa was approved, I didn’t waste any time and booked a flight for October 23rd, 2022 during the reading break in my college schedule.

I think choosing the right time to travel is crucial, as it can greatly impact your academics and personal life. By timing my flight during a reading week break, I was able to minimize any disruptions to my studies and fully immerse myself in the college experience once I arrived in Canada.

Travel Plan

I decided to book a direct flight with Air India, which meant that there were no stops or changes required during the journey.

The flight lasted 16 hours and departed at 3 am, arriving in Toronto at 8 am (Eastern Time).

When it comes to direct flights from India to Canada, Air Canada’s 10 pm flight and Air India’s 3 am flight are among the most popular options. Both flights depart from Delhi regularly, and from what I have gathered, they are quite similar. The choice ultimately depends on your preference.

As I lived in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, I needed to travel to Delhi before my flight. I booked a train ticket for October 21st, 2022, as there were no tickets available for the 22nd due to the Diwali holiday.

My plan was to take the train from Bhopal to Delhi on October 21st, spend the night in a hotel in Delhi, and then go to the airport on the night of the 22nd to board my flight at 3 am on the 23rd.

It’s crucial to make a travel plan and make travel arrangements from your city to the departure city, and from your country to Canada or your study destination as soon as you receive your Study Visa.

I was fortunate to secure a direct flight ticket for around ~80,000 Indian Rupees because I traveled during October. However, if you plan on traveling during peak seasons such as September, January, or May intakes, both direct and indirect flights can cost anywhere from 100k to 400k Indian Rupees.

So it’s extremely important to book your flight ticket as soon as you receive your Study Visa , as ticket prices tend to increase with time.

A Day before Departure

A day before my departure, I made sure to get a haircut as they can be quite expensive in Canada, costing a minimum of CA$20 for a basic cut. I’ll suggest you to do the same, as it’ll save you some money and help you look your best for your first international trip.

Also, it’s essential to keep all of your important documents in your handbag, as you’re allowed to have them with you on the flight and they’re also required during immigration. Keep in mind that you will not be able to access your luggage before completing the immigration process at Canadian airports.

Before leaving, double-check the weight of your luggage to ensure it falls within the maximum allowance for your flight.

Not to mention, take time to spend with your family, as you will be away from them for years. Cherish the last moments you have with them, talk to them and make the most of your time with them.

If you don’t prepare everything (documents, packing stuff etc.) in advance, you won’t be able to enjoy the last moments with your family as you’d be preoccupied with all the other stuff. Hence, Proper planning and preparation is key to avoid mistakes in this process.

Travel to the Flight City

On October 21st, 2022, I arrived at the railway station at 3:00 pm to catch my train to New Delhi. Saying goodbye to my family was an incredibly emotional experience for me.

After my family loaded my luggage onto the train, I boarded the Shatabdi Express, which departed at exactly 3:30 pm and was expected to arrive in New Delhi at 11:45 pm.

These trains are known to be one of the fastest in India. It didn’t waste any time and started racing towards the capital.

I was fortunate to have the company of my elder brother and brother-in-law during the journey, we chatted and had snacks and tea together.

We arrived in New Delhi at around 12 pm, and went straight to the OYO hotel room we had booked. I recommend booking a hotel in advance when traveling to another city and make sure that it is close to the airport. We chose a hotel that was near the airport and had already planned our commute to the airport.

Our plan was to use the Delhi Metro Airport Express line on October 22nd and it went smoothly. I suggest you also use the Delhi Metro as you can avoid all the traffic in the city and reach the airport without any hassle. More on that later.

Booking the Hotel

Let me give you some information about the hotel room I booked.

I rented it for a two-day stay and it cost me around 2000 Indian Rupees. We checked in around 1 pm and the room was clean and tidy, equipped with all of the basic amenities. The bed was also quite comfortable.

One of the first things I did was to charge my phone and power bank to ensure that I had enough power for the next few days.

All things considered, for the price and our short stay, the room was a great value.

Going to the Airport

The next day, on October 22nd, 2022, we went out to try some street food in one of the local markets. The streets were quite crowded due to the Diwali holiday, but that didn’t stop us from trying some special shahi paneer. It was truly delicious.

In the evening, I rechecked all my documents, and put a slip with my flight details, phone number, and address on my luggage bags, just as a precaution in case something happened to them during the trip.

Around 8 pm, I left for the airport. We took a rickshaw to Shivaji Stadium Metro Station, where we planned to catch the Delhi Metro. A word of caution, be careful when placing your luggage on escalators because my brother had actually dropped my cabin bag on the escalator. Thankfully, nothing was damaged.

We left for the airport 7 hours before the scheduled departure time which was 3 am, I suggest that first-time travelers do the same. The process of going to the airport, checking in, and going through security can take a lot of time, especially during peak seasons when many students are traveling. It’s better to arrive early to avoid any stress.

Also, if you’re traveling from Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3, you can check out their interactive map online to see all the places inside the airport and their respective locations.

This will give you a good idea about the location of important checkpoints inside the airport and the locations of the flight gates inside the airport. It’s a good idea to check the gate of your respective flight on the interactive map, so you know where you need to go once you clear the immigration and security checks.

Step 1: Pick a Trolley

If you’re a student traveling from Indira Gandhi International Airport, pay close attention to this information.

Most international flights to Canada depart from Terminal 3 of the IGI Airport. Keep in mind that it’s not on the ground floor, If you’re arriving via the Delhi Metro, you will need to go up a floor, but if you’re coming by taxi, it shouldn’t be a problem. Just remember that the international terminal is located on the top floor.

Upon arrival, you’ll find gates numbered 1 to 8. First, grab a luggage trolley as they are readily available outside the airport, and keep all of your luggage on it. You can also wait outside to say goodbye to your family as they aren’t allowed to accompany you inside the airport unless they too have an international flight.

Check-in time for most flights starts 4 hours before departure, so if you arrived too early, you can wait outside and spend time with your family. Flight information screens are located throughout the airport, and you can check the status of your flight on them. If you prefer, you can grab a snack or drink with your family before saying goodbye. I bought a pair of patties and they cost 60 rupees.

Let me warn you, everything at the airport is super expensive and food stalls outside the airport tend to be overpriced. If you prefer to eat inside the airport, there’s also a food court available.

Step 2: Enter the Airport

The next step in boarding your international flight is gaining entry to the airport.

You can enter through any of the available gates at the airport (in the case of IGI Airport, there are 8 available gates).

You simply need to present your passport and flight ticket to the airport staff and they’ll let you in.

When I traveled, the airport was pretty empty because, you know, it was October time and many students from the September intake had already left for Canada.

So Keep in mind that during peak travel times, such as during traditional student intake months, the airport may be more crowded than during off-peak times.

Step 3: Check-in

Once you enter, you’ll see a big flight information screen. Here you need to check your flight’s check-in counter, this is where you’re luggage bags will be weighed and handed over to the airline.

Generally, It opens 4 hours before the flight departure time, but since I was traveling during an uncommon time, my flight’s counter was open before that and I could only see a handful of people there.

If you can’t find the check-in counter of your flight on the flight information screen, go to the help desk and let them know that. In fact, if you have any questions or face any issues, you can always reach out to the help desk or any of the Airport employees, they’d be happy to help you.

At the check-in counter, submit your luggage bags , and don’t submit your cabin and backpack. If the crew asks you to submit your cabin bag, make sure that you have all the necessary items you need on the flight and at the Canadian airport in your backpack (documents, medicines, blanket, and a pair of clothes).

If you have overweight check-in bags, two to three kilograms above the limit, they might ask you to pay a fee for the extra weight. This fee varies from airline to airline. Make sure your luggage bags are less than or equal to the maximum baggage allowance for your airline.

The cabin bag and laptop bag are not weighed in most cases but don’t stuff them with things because you might get tired walking with a heavy bag on your shoulders. Yes, you need to walk a lot at the Airport.

Step 4: Complete the Immigration

After completing the check-in process, head towards the International Departures section, where you will need to complete the immigration and security check.

The immigration officers will likely ask you basic questions such as the purpose for going to the study destination, details about yourself, and your course of study.

During my travel, they only stamped my passport without asking any questions. Be prepared for this area to be busy, especially during peak travel seasons, so again I recommend you to arrive early to avoid long wait times.

Step 5: Complete the Security Check

After Immigration, you’ll proceed through the security check. Here you will be required to place all electronic devices from your bags in a tray. I had to use multiple trays because of many electronic items in my bags. After this, you need to keep your tray(s) and your bags onto the conveyor belt.

Next, you will need to queue up and go through a thorough body scan, which is conducted by a police officer, to ensure the safety of the flight.

Don’t worry, the process is pretty straightforward.

Upon completion of this step, all that is left is to head to your assigned flight gate, from where you will board your flight and depart.

Step 6: Explore the Duty-Free Area (Optional)

Between the security checkpoint and your flight gate, there are many shops and restaurants inside the airport, similar to a mall. It all begins with the Delhi Duty-Free Area.

Remember, there are 26 flight gates, so don’t get too busy with shopping and eating as it takes time to reach the gates.

When I arrived at the Delhi-Duty free area, I headed directly to the food court on the top floor, as I was quite hungry.

As a suggestion, in addition to the food court at the IGI Airport, there are washrooms available. Using them will enhance your first flight experience. Keep in mind that washrooms are also available on the flight.

Most international flights, including non-stop flights like Air Canada and Air India, provide food on the flight. But if you’re feeling hungry or want to try something new, the food court has a variety of options. However, as I said earlier, even basic items can be pretty expensive there.

Step 7: Move to the Flight Gate

After completing your pre-flight activities, you’ll need to proceed to your designated flight gate for boarding.

If you’re unsure of your flight gate, feel free to ask the personnel at the help desk for assistance.

The distance between flight gates at airports can be significant, so again reach the airport early so you get done with all the requirements as soon as possible and you have enough time to explore the shops, eat food and walk towards the gates.

Step 8: Waiting & Boarding

Upon reaching your flight gate, you’ll find a waiting area where you will need to wait for the boarding process to begin. Be sure to take a seat and keep an eye on the clock.

A final check will be conducted before you’re permitted to board the flight.

As I waited for my flight’s boarding time, I observed that the majority of people in the area were Canadian permanent residents and citizens, with only a few international students present.

Boarding began around 3 am and the staff just checked the immigration and security stamps on my boarding pass.

After successfully passing the boarding check, simply follow the queue to reach your flight.

Step 9: Find Your Seat & Place the Bags

Upon entering the flight and reaching my assigned seat, I placed my cabin bag in the overhead compartment and kept my laptop bag near my feet. Fortunately, the seat next to me was unoccupied, so I placed my bag beneath it.

My seat was 24A, located in the front part of the plane, which is why I was requested to board at the every end. It was a window seat with stunning views.

If given the opportunity, I highly recommend opting for a window seat. Although they tend to be more expensive than other seats, the views are definitely worth it.

However, my flight was delayed by an hour due to technical issues, they solved it by cutting the complete power.

After a prolonged wait, the flight eventually began to move and soon we were on the runway at full speed. The plane took off at 4:30 am, and it was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.

Flight Screen

Today, most airplanes have in-flight entertainment systems, which provide a variety of options to keep passengers entertained during long flights.

On these screens, you can either play games, listen to music, watch movies/ television, or, obsess over the 3D map like me. The 3D map provides detailed information such as the flight’s ground speed, distance remaining, time remaining, trajectory, and various views.

The movies section includes a selection of Bollywood and Hollywood films. These are stored on the flight’s storage and can be accessed offline. I used to think that it gets streamed but nothing is streamed and you don’t get access to the internet throughout the duration of your flight. This is because the mobile network or any other electronic device’s signals disturb the flight systems. So for everyone’s safety, you can only watch what is downloaded on your phone or on the flight screen.

After exploring the flight maps, I joined other passengers and went to sleep.

Meals & Views

After waking from my sleep, I observed that the first meal service had begun. You can refer to my travel video to see all the meals I received on the flight and what you can expect.

I also had the opportunity to admire the breathtaking views from my window seat. If you have the chance, I highly recommend choosing a window seat as the views are truly spectacular. It feels like you are on the wing of the plane and flying alongside it, a truly amazing experience that is difficult to describe in words.

I had the option of booking Air Canada’s flight and Air India’s Flight. One of the reasons for choosing Air India was that you get to land when it’s 8:45 am in Canada, which means you can enjoy the fabulous views of the city. It is just an experiential thing, but for me, it was a big advantage.

If you chose Air Canada, you’ll arrive when it’s dark outside, so the views won’t be that interesting. Still, both flights are great. This is just my view.

Step 10: Declaration

After landing, follow the signs for arrivals to reach the declaration section at the airport.

In this section, you need to answer a few basic questions, such as whether or not you are carrying firearms, fresh food, or more than 10,000 Canadian dollars.

For most international students, the answers to most, if not all questions, is “no”.

Don’t worry, you won’t be answering these questions directly to an officer. Instead, you’ll be filling out your answers on self-service kiosks located at the airport.

It’s worth noting that, not all airports have these kiosks and at some of them, you will be required to fill out a form but the questions will be the same.

I, myself, filled out the Advance CBSA Declaration form on the ArriveCan App before boarding my flight. This form, available at certain airports, allows you to answer the Declaration questions before you arrive in Canada. However, upon arrival, you’ll still be required to review and confirm your answers before printing the receipt.

The Declaration process includes:

• Scanning your passport.
• Answering questions on the screen.
• Clicking your photograph.
• Taking printed receipt to the CBSA officer.

The CBSA officer will check your declaration receipt and guide you to the immigration area.

If you’re coming during main intakes (September, January and May), go to the declaration area as soon you land and complete it. This is so you reach immigration before the crowd and can get done with it quickly.

Otherwise, it can take from 2 to 3 hours to only get done with the immigration because of the huge number of international students that travel during those times.

Step 11: Complete Canadian Immigration

Canadian Immigration is often portrayed as the most daunting part of the journey by some online sources, with some YouTubers creating videos about student deportations at airports in order to gain views.

Yes, some of the stories are true but if you’re a student with a valid study permit, letter of introduction, and have completed all the requirements under your Visa category and from the college, you don’t need to be scared of anything.

It is important to speak confidently with the officer and provide accurate answers to their questions. Some students are deported because they are unable to provide basic information such as their name, program name, or college name.

Make sure you know all the basic details about yourself, your family, and your college as the officer may ask about these.

The following are a few examples of questions that CBSA officers may ask:

• What is your name?
• What is your date of birth?
• Which college are you enrolled in?
• Why are you coming to Canada at this time?
• Do you have permission from your college to travel at this time?
• Can you show me your Letter of Introduction/Offer Letter/Enrollment Letter/GIC Welcome Letter?
• Have you been to Canada before?
• How long do you plan to stay in Canada?
• How much money do you have with you?
• What is the name of your program?
• How long is your program? Tell me the Program duration.
• What are your plans after the completion of your program?

As long as you answer these questions with confidence and as much accurate information as possible, you should have no problem with the immigration process.

Step 12: Find your Luggage Bags

After clearing the immigration process, the CBSA officer will stamp your passport and declaration receipt, and give you your study permit and any additional work permit that you may be eligible for, if you are a co-op student.

It’s important to keep these documents safe in your bag and make sure that you have your passport and declaration receipt with you at all times, don’t misplace them.

You will then proceed to a gate where another officer will verify the stamp on your declaration receipt and will then let you go to the baggage area.

The baggage area is where all the flights’ bags are kept after landing. The Toronto Pearson International Airport can get crowded with bags during peak seasons, but when I arrived, the luggage area was relatively empty and I could spot my bag from the first floor before even going down to the baggage area.

There are also screens with luggage information that display the conveyor belt where your flight’s bags have arrived. You can refer to these screens for information about your flight.

In my case, my checked-in bags were on the conveyor belts 10/11.

Once you find your luggage, take a trolley and load your bags onto it, then follow the signs for the exit.

If you’ve thoroughly check the conveyor belts and are unable to find any of your bag, do contact the help desk/ airport staff for assisstance.

Step 13: Exit the Luggage Area

When you exit the airport, you’ll need to submit your declaration receipt to the officer and then you’ll be able to leave. Remember to keep your passport and study permit with you and keep them in a safe place, don’t leave them in the luggage area.

In colder months, it’s a good idea to wait inside the airport until your taxi, Uber, friends or family have arrived, as it can get very cold outside. Heating systems are present in every building in Canada so it doesn’t feel cold until you step outside.

There is no need to feel rushed to leave the airport as soon as you reach the main airport area. If you’re at the Pearson International Airport, there are waiting spots just beside the “YYZ” model. I personally waited there for my friend’s brother (who was coming to pick me up), and you can do the same.

Step 14: Get a Sim Card (Optional)

If you come across a telecom booth offering internet and calling plans at the airport, it’s a good idea to take advantage of it then. Many telecom operators in Canada launch discounted offers for international students during peak travel seasons, and these offers are only available at the airport.

If you happen to come across an attractive offer, you should consider discussing it with your friends, relatives, or close contacts in Canada. If it’s a good deal, you should opt for it. But if not, you can still get a new SIM card outside the airport.

For example, when I was at the airport, I was approached by Fido staff and they offered me 20 GB of internet data and unlimited calling for 40 Canadian dollars. I didn’t have any idea about the plans so I talked to my friends and then opted for it.

Step 15: Exit the Airport

You can wait in the designated waiting area for as long as you need to.

I took advantage of the opportunity to video call my family and talk to them until my friend’s brother arrived.

Once my friend’s brother called me, I exited the airport. As I had expected, it was a bit chilly outside, nothing too severe, but it’s worth noting that if you are arriving during the winter season, you will definitely feel the difference in temperature.

My friends had ordered a delicious meal for me shortly after I landed, so we went to pick that up before meeting in person after 2 years.

Two Indian-origin men among 6 arrested in Canada's largest $22.5 million gold and cash heist

Parmpal sidhu, 54, was working with air canada at the time of the crime, while amit jalota, 40, has also been arrested. the six arrested people were allegedly involved in the theft of a cargo container carrying 6,600 bars of gold worth over $22.5 million..

On April 17, 2023, an air cargo container carrying more than 22 million Canadian dollars’ worth of gold bars and foreign currency was stolen from a secure storage facility using fake paperwork, said police. The gold and currency had just arrived on an Air Canada flight from Zurich, Switzerland. Two former Air Canada employees allegedly helped in pulling off the heist.

Parmpal Sidhu was working with Air Canada during the time of the crime. The arrests were announced after a lengthy probe into the crime reported last year. The Canadian authorities also issued warrants for three more persons in the case, Peel Regional Police (PRP) said.

Arrest warrants against three persons

The police have issued Canada-wide warrants for Simran Preet Panesar, 31, from Brampton, who was also an Air Canada employee at the time of the theft; Archit Grover, 36, from Brampton and Arsalan Chaudhary, a 42-year-old man from Mississauga, according to local reports. Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick confirmed Sidhu and Panesar's employment with the national flag carrier.

"One left the company prior to the arrests announced today and the second has been suspended," he said. "As this is now before the courts, we are limited in our ability to comment further."

Peel police said that a flight from Switzerland landed at Pearson International Airport carrying a cargo containing 6,600 bars of .9999 per cent pure gold, weighing 400 kilogrammes, valued at over $20 million, which was then offloaded and transported to a separate location on Airport property. The cargo was reported missing on April 18 last year. 

"Peel Regional Police immediately started the investigation, which has crossed borders, and we have been working collaboratively with the Philadelphia Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)," the statement said. One person, Durante King-Mclean, was arrested in the US for possessing 65 illegal firearms.

Air Canada suspended one cargo division employee

Air Canada said it had suspended one cargo division employee charged in the theft while the other, who worked in the same department at the time of the heist, had left the airline before the charges were announced. Investigators from the Peel regional police, working with the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, recovered one kg of gold (2.2 pounds) and about C$434,000 in Canadian currency.

"We believe that they've melted down the gold and then the profits they got from the gold, they used to help finance the firearms," Detective Sergeant Mike Mavity said. Police also recovered some 65 firearms that investigators allege were purchased with the proceeds from the theft. 

“Our investigators and entire service recognized the heightened interest and impact this incident had in our community. We immediately deployed the necessary resources to address and ensure arrests are made in this complex and multi-faceted investigation that crossed international borders. I commend the incredible work done by our investigators, the ATF, other law enforcement partners, and our community for working together to identify and arrest those responsible for this brazen crime.” Nishan Duraiappah, Peel Regional Police Chief.

Following the heist, Miami-based transport and security services provider Brinks sued Air Canada in October, alleging "negligence and carelessness" by the airline. Brinks had been hired by Swiss bank Raiffeisen Schweiz and precious metals refining company Valcambi to move the valuables from Zurich to Toronto. Overall, PRP has identified and charged or issued warrants for nine individuals with over 19 charges.

Canada Starts Reducing Staff Across Its Missions In India

A Canadian high commission spokesperson on Friday said the slashing of the size of the Indian staff was necessary given the reduction of Canadian staff in the country.

Canada has reduced dozens of its Indian staffers posted in its missions in India, months after New Delhi forced Ottawa to downsize its diplomatic presence.

"I can confirm that the Government of Canada has implemented some staff reductions across our network of missions in India," the official said.

"The decision to implement reductions across our network of missions in India was sadly necessary given the reduction of Canadian staff available to effectively manage and maintain in-country operations." The spokesperson said the high commission expresses its sincere gratitude for the resilience, dedication and service of its local staff in India.

"Canada will continue to deliver core services to Canadians in India, including consular support and for trade and business development so that the citizens of our two countries can continue to benefit from the longstanding ties between Canadians and Indians," the official said.

"We can also confirm that Canada's visa application centres in India are operating as normal," the spokesperson added.

The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in British Columbia.

New Delhi rejected Mr Trudeau's charges as "absurd".

Days after Trudeau's allegations, India asked Ottawa to downsize its diplomatic presence in the country to ensure parity.

Iran launches barrage of strikes toward Israel

By Tori B. Powell , Sophie Tanno, Emma Tucker , Kaanita Iyer , Paul LeBlanc and Adrienne Vogt , Jerome Taylor and James Legge, CNN

Our live coverage of Iran's attack on Israel has moved here .

Iran warns its response will be "stronger and more resolute" if Israel retaliates following latest strikes

From CNN’s Alireza Hajihosseini and Eyad Kourdi

Iran has warned that it will respond with more force if Israel retaliates over this weekend's strikes, which Tehran said were themselves a reply to an Israeli attack earlier this month on its embassy complex in Syria's capital Damascus.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to exercise its inherent right of self-defense when required," Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, said in a statement.

Citing self-defense against repeated Israeli military aggressions, Iravani said the strikes were specifically in retaliation to an Israeli attack on April 1 against what Iran says were diplomatic facilities in Damascus.

Iran claims the attack violated international law and led to the death of seven Iranian military advisors, including key commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The statement also criticizes the United Nations Security Council for “failing to uphold international peace,” allowing Israel to “breach” established international norms and “escalate” regional tensions.

Additional context: Israel has carried out numerous strikes on Iran-backed targets in Syria, often targeting weapons shipments allegedly intended for Hezbollah, a powerful Iranian proxy in Lebanon. 

Israel has not claimed responsibility for the April 1 attack which destroyed an Iranian consulate building in the capital Damascus, including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top Revolutionary Guards commander.

However an Israel Defense Forces spokesman told CNN that their intelligence showed the building was not a consulate and was instead “a military building of Quds forces disguised as a civilian building.”

China expresses 'deep concern', calls for ceasefire

From CNN's Philip Wang and Irene Nasser

China has expressed "deep concern" over the "current escalation" following Iran's attack on Israel, according to a spokesperson for its Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, adding that it is a "spillover of the Gaza conflict" and a ceasefire should be implemented without delay.

In a statement, China called "on relevant parties to exercise calm and restraint to prevent further escalations."

"The ongoing situation is the latest spillover of the Gaza conflict," the spokesperson said, adding that a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas should be implemented without any more delay.

Beijing did not  name or condemn Hamas  in the wake of the initial October 7 attacks. Since then, it has condemned the war and been a vocal  proponent of an immediate ceasefire  and the implementation of a “two-state” solution.

Last month, Chinese diplomat Wang Kejian met Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar, the first meeting between a Chinese and Hamas official publicly acknowledged by Beijing since the outbreak of the  war in Gaza .

Wang’s visit follows efforts by Beijing to step up its profile as a  peace broker in the Middle East conflict.

US forces intercepted 70+ drones and at least three ballistic missiles, US officials say

From CNN's Oren Liebermann and Haley Britzky

US forces intercepted more than 70 one-way attack drones and at least three ballistic missiles during Iran's attack on Israel, according to two US officials familiar with the situation.

The ballistic missiles were intercepted by warships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, one of the officials said. Iran launched more than 100 ballistic missiles in total at Israel, according to a senior administration official.

The US Navy currently has two destroyers in that area, both are guided missile destroyers capable of intercepting missile and drone launches.

US fighter jets were also part of the response to Iran’s attack on Saturday and shot down drones launched towards Israel, another US official told CNN.

Biden to meet with G7 leaders Sunday as he condemns Iran's "brazen attack"

From CNN’s Lauren Koenig

US President Joe Biden will meet with G7 leaders Sunday “to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” according to a statement released by the White House. 

“My team will engage with their counterparts across the region. And we will stay in close touch with Israel’s leaders,” the statement from Biden reads. “And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people.”

US defensive assets moved to the region earlier this week and “helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles,” according to the statement.

Biden also spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu following Saturday’s attack “to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel.” 

United Airlines cancels three Middle East flights

From CNN’s Sara Smart

At least three United Airlines flights headed to or departing from the Middle East have been canceled amid the ongoing conflict unfolding between Iran and Israel.

On Saturday a flight from Newark, New Jersey to Tel Aviv, a flight from Washington D.C. to Amman, Jordan, and one from Dubai to Newark were canceled, the airline told CNN in a statement.

There have been no changes to any Sunday flights for United as of Saturday night, according to the airline. 

CNN has reached out to other airlines regarding cancellations.

Biden told Netanyahu US will not participate in offensive operations against Iran, US official says

From CNN's MJ Lee

The US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran, US President Joe Biden has made clear to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a senior administration official told CNN.

The comments were relayed during the phone call that the two leaders shared in the aftermath of Iran's retaliatory strikes against Israel.

Biden tells Netanyahu tonight was a win, nothing of "value" hit in Israel, US official says 

Israel should consider tonight a win because the current US assessment is that Iran’s attacks had been largely unsuccessful and demonstrated Israel’s superior military capability, President Joe Biden told Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their phone call, a senior administration official told CNN.

The US’s assessment tonight was that almost all of the drones and missiles – including more than 100 ballistic missiles -- launched by Iran had been knocked out of the sky. No cruise missile made impact, the official said, and nothing of “value” was hit. 

Bolton: 'Passivity at this point for Israel would be a big mistake'

From CNN's Heather Chen

John Bolton, the former US national security adviser and ambassador to the UN, said “passivity at this point for Israel would be a big mistake,” warning of more attacks. 

“This is not time to play academic games and message and signal. This is a question of power,” Bolton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. "If they came from a different location containing nuclear warheads, Israel might not be so lucky.”

A known Iran policy hawk, Bolton served in senior national security positions during the Trump and Bush administrations. A neoconservative, Bolton has in the past advocated war with Iran and a pre-emptive strike on North Korea.

In 2022, he was the target of an alleged assassination attempt orchestrated by a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. 

He has warned against underestimating Iran’s nuclear program, which Tehran has said is for peaceful purposes only.

“I think we have enough experience with faulty intelligence by now, not to be so sure, not to know how much of Iran’s uranium enrichment program is really being conducted under a mountain in North Korea,” Bolton said.

If Tehran sent “a wire transfer to Pyongyang,” it would give the North Koreans “enough time to put a couple of warheads on an airplane and fly them to Tehran. (But) if you take away their nuclear capability, that would be a dramatic hit to the regime, maybe enough to topple it.”
