  • You can now send letters to Santa via Canada Post

    You can now send letters to Santa via Canada Post

    The holiday season this time has been very different. We all are sitting at home watching feel-good Christmas movies. While I was watching one, I realized how kids love to send letters to Santa and how they also hear back sometimes (in movies). Up until now I thought this is all fictional but not anymore. 

    As I recently learned that you could send letters to Santa in real life as well courtesy of Canada post. As per their post on Instagram, they have launched their yearly campaign of Canada Post Letters to Santa program. They have been delivering letters to Santa for more than 40 years and have already delivered more than millions of letters!

    Do people hear back from Santa?

    As per reports, they apparently do. You can also write in any language and the chances are you will still hear back as the Santa team (with a little help from team Canada Post) in the North pole knows over 36 languages. 

    Please be advised that the number of letters Santa receives are so high that Canada post has requested kids to write their letters to Santa before December 10 just to make sure that you get a reply from Santa as well. 

    If you are wondering, how do you write this letter, then worry no more as there are templates that are available online that would help you. The next thing you do is put that letter in an envelope and write the address on the back as Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada. 

    After you have done all this, you can drop it off at the Canada Post mailbox and make sure you have written your return address so that you can expect your reply. Also, fun fact, you do not need any stamps. Now, what are you waiting for? Go write that letter and pour your feelings out, remember Santa is going to be reading them.

  • Should you be moving to Canada for studies during this COVID pandemic?

    Should you be moving to Canada for studies during this COVID pandemic?

    If you are planning to move to Canada during the Pandemic and are not sure whether you should be making this big move at this moment, then here are some key factors that you need to consider.

    The most important one is the fact that is it even allowed for you to be moving to Canada right now. If your Designated Learning Institute (DLI) is not included in the list that you will find on the website – Canada.ca, you cannot travel to Canada to study at this time. If you try to travel to Canada when your DLI is not included, you may not be allowed to board your flight or you may be turned away at the port of entry.
    Another factor in moving to Canada that you should consider would be finding part-time jobs which would not be easy in a pandemic as everything is closed except for essential services and even if your DLI is in the essential list, please keep in mind the fact that you might not end up getting a part-time job.

    Moving away from home is hard as it is and on top of that if low and behold your test for COVID-19 comes to positive at any point. I know a friend who moved to Canada a couple of months back and his test was negative after he quarantined but a few days later, he started to feel sick. Once he took the test again, it was positive, and he had no place to quarantine. Thankfully, if you can’t quarantine on your own, the government takes care of it for you and you can let the officials know that you need a place to quarantine and they take you to a hotel and the stay of quarantine is paid for. Having said that, this whole experience is just not worth having.

    Now comes the part of taking online classes in India which I really do not see the point of. Yes, you would be saving your money of GIC and the expense of living abroad but you would also be gaining no experience and still be paying very heavy tuition fees that too for studies that you can easily access online for free.

    For me personally, the whole idea of studying abroad is the experience of it all. I would recommend waiting till we have the vaccine to move abroad to study, but you can do what feels right to you! Make sure to go through all the information online that you can find on the website Canada.ca about making this move and then take your decision.
