Dear asyousuf,
+1 for your answer. Can I use traveller cheque without being account holder of a Bank?
Thanks,
ekram787
U don't require a bank a/c to purchase TCs. They r available in many banks, as well Exchange Houses, @ a price. Qorax |

Hi! Qorax and to all seniors, Thanks for all your inputs... You're very helpful to us who been wondering what to do. I also have a query regarding traveler's check. - I have a sister in the US, who will help me with my settlement funds by the time I will land in Canada. She's planning to send a traveler's check from the US to the Philippines. Is it OK to use it as my POF upon landing? Will the VO not question it? Thanks in advance. jc_rain U don't require a bank a/c to purchase TCs. They r available in many banks, as well Exchange Houses, @ a price.

Dear Mr Gorax,
please answer my questions.
I am owner of 3 bedroom flat in my country of origin.
Currently I am KSA resident and planning to land in Ottawa in few weeks.
I wonder, how should I describe my above mentioned property while landing.
It is important, because next year I am going to sell my flat and will need to explain origin of this money.
My second question is- how much time will take to encash TCs in Canada?
And is it enough to take photos of few jewellery items, or have been needed to mention weight in gramms
and approximate prices?

As u'd intend swapping it -- they'd withhold your US one. Alternatively u may pursue a separate application - with the US driver's extract & go from G1, G2 & G... just like we did... that is if u desire to hold-on to your US D/L as well. Remember, the mandatory wait times could be waived. Qorax |

Qorax and other seniors;
I landed in Toronto on late June and I came back after two weeks. I have a plan to move there by October this year. At the POE the officer requested me to fax the permanent address with a one page form to a number shown on the form in order to process the PR cards. I did fax the address the following day. Till date I haven't got anything from them. My concern is that they mentioned on the form that the applicant should allow 15 business days to update the address. Till date and after more than 18 business days I don't see my address online. My question, do you think it is okay to make an online address notification and add a new address (which the same I sent earlier ) ? Or is it better to wait? Please advice.

It takes 6-8 weeks to get the PR cards... relax & await your turn. |
