Then there was a strange, in my opinion, an embarrassment for Canada – we went after a young woman with a child forward line, she came over and asked the lady, who stood in front, would not she mind if we go forward. The lady mumbled something unintelligible (simply do not understand the question, I think) and stopped. Well, we and were ahead (always thought it was okay to go ahead with young children). Then the same lady says: Is there any reason, why you, guys, go ahead of all the line Strange kind of. Woman with child responds: Yeah, we are with little children, I told you.

Maybe it is not accepted, I do not know, but stand in a queue of 200 people after 9-hour flight from child as a fact that, well, in general, it is wrong.

Next stand for newcomers, where the issue booklets tell us where to turn for help and everything like that, next post, which has given shape to ohip, Child Tax Benefit, another useful Old. All packed into a cute bag with a maple leaf and put a pen with a similar theme.

In the third time we've heard: Welcome to Canada!, then exit to the baggage claim. Then immediately flew crowd porters, but we refused and went 10 yards up a system for trucks. The machine accepts bills 1,2,5,10 and U.S. dollars. My one-dollar notes he took, but five had eaten with gusto and even gave a passing Canadian coins on the course. After that took the cart and then laid on her own luggage. Then a small turn to the customs office where the same issues: not Does Canada bring in valuable items (furniture, jewelry, money, etc.) separately from the entry, or the next time. And yet, while behind closed doors in the hall greeted us were waiting for our friends. They are very helpful in everything, what could, and it is most moments. Himself would have been much more difficult. Especially with a small child. Further adventures of Ukrainians in Canada will supplement possible. In the next issue: rent an apartment, adaptation, etc
