When you land for the first time, you are usually the passage for tourists.

The customs place is a row of counters, similar to what you see when you go through customs in China. You are usually asked: Where are you from? When are you going to leave Canada? The answer they want is a specific date, such as 20 15.8. 16, but as an international student, you can take out the customs declaration form you filled out on the plane when you go through customs (if you don't write it on the plane, you can find this card next to it when you go through customs) to let the customs staff know that it is your first time to land in Canada and you need to change your student visa.

When you go through the customs, the customs will ask you some questions. I'll return the immigration documents to you later.

Their cart is slightly larger than the self-service cart, and one cart can hold 1-3 pieces of luggage. In general, everyone will have one. Finally, the cost of 10 yuan need not be paid to the porter. He will take you to a special place and pay at the exit, but the porter usually asks you for a tip. It doesn't matter if you don't give it.

Most students will arrange to pick up the plane before departure, no matter whether relatives or friends come to pick it up or entrust someone to pick it up, as long as they can get in touch with the person who picks it up.

To take a taxi in Toronto, you need to call a taxi. Generally, taxis here in Canada seem to be like this. Of course, taxis at the airport may be more convenient to use. After all, it is a big transportation hub. One-way bus can be transferred to bus and subway without restriction within one and a half hours. Just keep the note that the bus driver gave you when you got on the bus, which shows your effective transfer time. When you change to the next bus, you just need to show it to the bus driver.

When you take a bus, you need to pay attention to the bus stop. You need to press the button in front of the station where you want to get off. This is called "stopping", and then the driver will know that someone is going to get off at the next stop. On the bus, you will see a long yellow line on the window. Pull it and get off at the next stop, or there is a red stop button on the handrail. You can also press this button. If you don't press the button, the driver thinks everyone is getting off at the next stop, so he just drives away.

Some stations can buy tickets manually, while others can only help themselves. There is also a one-day pass for adults 10 yuan. There is no time limit for free transfer. On holidays, a one-day pass can be used by two people, but usually only one person can vote. Therefore, if you need to use public transport, you may need to check the map and do your homework before coming. If you need to change trains several times, you can consider buying a one-day pass.

If you want to transfer to other neighboring cities, you can also consider taking the greyhound, also known as greyhound. Greyhound in Toronto is also easy to find. You can take the subway and get off at Dundas Station. When you come out, you can find it in the direction of Bay Street. It's very close. You can buy tickets after you arrive. It will be cheaper to buy online in advance.
