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.

Wings of Fire – Dr APJ Abdul Kalam’s Autobiography - Reading notes

This is an Autobiography by one of the India`s most celebrated scientists and leaders, who has a tremendous following across all different age groups especially India`s youngsters. It may lack the literary flamboyance of an eminent author; it may not meet the standards that a literary critic would weigh in on , but it leaves you glued to the life of a boat owner’s son, his passion towards rocketry, science , his career struggle through the red-tape clad ladders of the Indian Bureaucracy which aligns itself with the journey of India's technology advancement and self-reliance in the field of Rocketry and nuclear defence capabilities. It draws you into an aura of amazement and wonder when you read through the indescribable sense of accomplishment at the peak period of Mr. Kalam’s life and sometime make you feel that they are your(reader’s) accomplishments and that`s the indisputable success fa...

Recipe : Blackened Salmon Masala

Am a die hard fish lover, especially the Salmon. The most favorite Salmon recipe is the thick and spicy, coconut Gravy with cooked Salmon and sour and unripe mangoes. Another favorite is deep fried, spicy and oily marinated Salmon fry. But trust me, both of them are thoroughly unhealthy and cholesterol rich. The latter, deep fry one can be made using Olive oil but wouldn’t taste that great. In the light of my 2010 - theme of life – FFF (just not to let your imagination go elsewhere – Fit, Fitter, Fittest) , was looking for a heart-friendly, low calorie Salmon recipe that doesn’t take a lot of prep work or kitchen work and here is my kitchen discovery. Ingredients: · Oval shaped Salmon slices(with skin) – 3 · 1tbl spoon – red chili powder(roasted – if you find) · 1/2 tbl spoon – turmeric powder · 6 pinches of salt [will be really low in Sodium, you may want to add more] · ½ tbl spoon – Ginger / Garlic paste · ½ tbl spoo...
