Toronto District School Board : Temporary Foreign workers children school admissions

It is little know and often forgotten practice / requirement that in Ontario(Canada) temporary foreign workers or the people who have temporary resident status with a valid work permit have to personally visit Toronto District School Board(TDSB) http://www.tdsb.on.ca/office and get an approval letter for our kids to avail/continue education in TDSB schools.

The documents you need to carry:
Passport of Father, Mother and the student[orignials]
Workpermit, Visitor records for Father, Mother and the student[originals]
Proof of residence for the Father and Mother[it needs to be a bill, bank statement for the current or the last month, they don';t accept driver's license but they accept letter from employer, recently issued]

Couple of years back the schools used to insist on this letter and they ask the students to get his from the TDSB office; now a days some schools are taking the parent's work permit copy by themselves and say that that is good enough and a letter from TDSB isn't necessary. Please note that if you call TDSB they still insist that we need to get this letter and more importantly in this process of issuing a letter they ensure that they update their records that you availed the TDSB schooling for your kid. Please remember to do this, once you renew your work permit too.

This office is at
5050 Yonge Street
Toronto, Ontario
M2N 5N8

Their helpline for temp resident parents is : (416)395-2880
There is an email tisp@tdsb.on.ca but I tried and didn't get a response.

Reading Notes : Inner Engineering - A Yogi's Guide to JOY

Though I am not onboard with "someone who calls himself as Sadhguru" type practice, I never was able to come up with a logical anti-argument on any points/ideas that Mr Jaggi brings about in his speech and interviews. Infact there are many points for which, I could only get logical explanations from Mr Jaggi on some of the preached practices in India. The most recent example was "why beef eating is seen as a less-human act" and his explanation to that kind of made sense. One idea that I could never buy into whole-heartedly, was this concept of  "Inner Engineering". Due to the lack of knowledge or lack of evidence that it would work and it's a viable practice. I was keenly following on this topic, as frankly I fancy being able to sit in a place, controlling and cultivating my inner energies for hours not knowing the time is passing by. It's that curiosity that made me do two things in addition to watching all his speeches on the topic. 1. Enrol fo...

Dubai - November 2022

  As I landed onto Terminal 3 of Dubai international airport, the first impression I got off the enormous facility was that it’s sheer size and scale, which is quite obvious when you walk into the world’s second largest building by usable floor space. What I didn’t know then is that Dubai airport is the world’s busiest in terms of volume of international passengers that fly by. I have actually flown through Dubai almost 13 years ago when I had a transit stop in this airport, but I failed to notice the vastness of the facility possibly because I was tired from a 13 hour flight from Toronto. Another interesting observation (purely anecdotal) was 3 out of every 5 staff members at the airport seem to belong to a south Asian(India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh) lineage and I noticed that there is abundance of workforce engaged in the upkeep of the airport, I even felt that they were overstaffed at times. Later I learnt that the airport contributes to over 25% of the Emirate’s ...

Reading notes - When breath becomes air

This is the first book that made me tear up as I was reading through in multiple instances. I could be easily moved emotionally using some visual media but for the first time I felt I was emotionally moved as I read through the printed passages. This reflects how eloquent Paul Kalanithi is and perhaps being a quadragenerian father I could relate easily and realistically to some of the real moments Paul has gone through that he has wrote about in this book. He gives no room for you to wonder, how come a Neurosurgeon can be so eloquent in his writing style, choice of words, rich anecdotes from some of the best known literary works, as he gives you a clear view of his childhood, adolescence and his college/university days where he learnt literature. Aside from all the medical jargon, I kept looking at the dictionary for so many words and the list was long : Compendium, Apostasy, Lowbrow, Macaques , Idylls ,Speck like,Talus,Cusp,Wailing ,Coiffed,Sinew,Formaldehyde ,Fa...
