There are many documents in the group about shopping but every documents
seems to be for men, so I just wanted to make a list for women from my point of
view.
1. Clothes/Dresses:
Jeans: 2/3 pc. Though Jeans are costly ($16-$42) in Canada, after at most 3 or
4 months of coming here you will get summer/winter or spring sale then better
quality can be bought at around ($3-$15) which are more comfortable and
better quality and fashion (Straight-cut, boot-cut etc).
Spring Jacket: 2/3 pc. (the Jacket/ Sweter we wear in winter in Bangladesh.
Must be hooded). Also can be used in fall.
Heavy Jacket: Bring 1 pc. (You can get it cheap in Polwel supermarket,
Bongobazar. Ask for waterproof -40 degree hooded Jacket: 600-1500 taka). Its
better to buy another from here if needed further ($80-$200) since the quality
is much better.
Hijab: If you wear Hijab to cover your head or just neck or wear with shirts/
fotua, you can bring these from Bangladesh since it will be cheap, colorful and
nice.
Sneakers: 1 pair. (you will get good branded sneakers here which is also
breathable. You will be able to buy good branded sneakers and shoes which are
on sale every few months)
Sandal: 3/4 pair. For summer use and for using in the apt. Fashionable sandals
are costly here.
Socks: Bring 2/3 pair of long thick woolen socks and 2/3 pair normal. You can
buy a package of 10/12 pair socks from Walmart at cheap rate.
Towel: Towel are also available and cheap here but you can bring 1. You can
bring 2/3 pc cotton towel from home which you will not find here.
2. Personal accessories:
Bed sheet: 2/3 pc with pillow cover. Here you will not get colorful printed cheap
cotton bed-sheets. Its better to bring from home.
Eye-glasse: Bring few pairs of eye glasses and frame with prescription. Its very
costly here.
Cosmetics: Its better to buy cosmetics including lotion, shampoo etc. You can
bring little amount of those from home for initial use.
Personal accessories like stationary, brush, comb, safety pin, hair band, Clip,
sewing kit, nail kit, glass, plate, box, Jar, spoon, kitchen utensils etc are very
cheap in Canada. Do not put too much things in the bag. Be careful about the
baggage allowances. In Canada, these are available in Dollarama
(www.dollarama.com) and Walmart (www.walmart.ca) with cheap prices. So,
its your choice. My suggestion, try to enjoy the journey and make the load as
light as possible.
Soap: 1
Big/small scissors:2
Pillow: 1 or none (Its better not to bring pillow since it will take a lot of space.
Comb: 3
Nail cutter: 1
Alarm Clock: 1
Generally, you can bring two checked baggage, one carry-on baggage and a
backpack.
What kind of stuffs that you can put in them are listed in your Flight booking
website.
The following articles, which may be carried free in addition to the free baggage
allowance (subject to security regulations):
Since most people don't get time to cook daily, food is generally prepared for 4/5
days and preserved in the freezer; so you do not need many utensils too. Its better
to buy these from here as per your need and try to bring those which are not easily
found here.
These things will increase weight, so you should not take too many things. These
are available in Dollarama (www.dollarama.com) and Walmart
(www.walmart.ca) with cheap prices: 9-15 piece cookware set ($20-$150 in
Walmart).
Many say that Pressure cooker is costly in Canada, so we can bring it from home.
However, for me I have never used it here. I think its not necessary.
THIS LIST MAY VERY FOR PERSON TO PERSON. HOWEVER, MAKE YOUR
OWN LIST ACCORDING TO YOUR NEED
4. Food Items:
All foods items are available in Canada. However, you can bring a packet or two of
Chanachur, Fried Dal, Fried Peas etc. Besides these:
1. Pickle: You can bring home made different types of pickles which you
will miss the most as time passes.
2. Spices, Tealeaves, Masalas, Haldi, Dhania, red chilly, Garam masala,
Dhania, Instant masalas, etc. (Bring these in your checked baggage.
You can bring 500 gm of every type of Masala you eat, it will save you
initially from some hassle).
3. Different dals in small quantity for initial use.
4. Elaichi, clove, cinnamon.
3) Blade
6) Glue stick
7) Pencil bag
8) Ruler - 12"
9) Stick on pad
13) Calculator
6. Electronics:
Laptop (If you have one then bring it otherwise its better to buy from here)
Pen drive with huge storage capacity (Its costly here)
External Hard disk (You can bring it if you want)
In my opinion, you should not give gifts to your professors until you finished your
study and become an ex-student, they are not used to take gifts from student and
can feel awkward.
Some medicines
one set of full clothing in case your main luggage gets lost
Enough money (little cash, traveler's checks, check the amount of money that a
student can bring legally) (from banks) We prefer at least 3000$ for one person.
Wallet
Receipt got along with traveler's checks - in case you lose the TC's
Handbag to carry in flight stuffs and passport with you (buy a good quality,
spacious one 'cause you might have to use it for carrying clothes to the laundry
later)
Since you have already paid your first term tuition fee and accommodation fee, you
can carry 200 pounds cash and approximately 500 pounds as Traveler's Cheque.

Medicines list:
The student must carry several medicines for common ailments recommended by
a medical practitioner. Prescription drugs are costly in Canada. Put them in the
checked baggage and take only few in the hand-bag. Make sure you get a
prescription from a physician that you need all those medicine in case you are
asked by air-line officers.
1. All necessary medicines that you must need for your acute/chronic diseases e.g.
Asthma, Diabetes etc.
4. Ore-saline/Esomeprazole/Ranitidine/Metronidazole
5. Anti-emetics: Domperidone/olanzapine

8. Pevisone (Econizole)
9. Savlon cream
You will find several documents in the group’s file section about what documents
to take with you while traveling and to leave at home for further use.
*** In Canada you will get everything on sale every few months including dresses,
shoes, utensils, cosmetics, electronics etc. Big sales are mostly in three times a year
at December, February-March, July-August. Besides these in Walmart, Superstore
and all shopping malls, you will get everything in sale turn by turn always. You can
buy good products then at a cheaper price.
Happy Traveling.
