Hell Friends,
I recieved my Immigrant visa stamped on my passport. I wanted to understand what I have to be prepared for as part of next steps. I am supposed to arrive in Canada within next nine months.
My questions -
1. do I need to take an appointment at the Immigration office in Canada? If so I plan to land in Toronto, so which office should I go to?
2. Would there be an interview at the Immigration office?
3. In general what is the process that would be involved once I arrive at the office?
Appreciate your inputs
Thanks
Shekhar

Where is your visa office? If the number of months on your visa is 9 months then you have to land within that time frame.
Get your POF ready as they might ask to se it @ the point of entry. When do you intend to travel?

I am planning to visit in March 2011. I have put my preferred location as Toronto.
My visa office is Los Angeles.
Can you please tell me what do you mean by POF?

Congratulations, under FSW you can land in Toronto even though you mentioned some other landing place. No interview is conducted at the time of landing, the officer at immigration can ask about POF and you should submit list of accompanying and to be followed good to customs.

Thank you Fariza - this is a very useful link. In terms of proof of funds, would bank statements do, or does POF refer the amount I am carrying on myself at the time of landing ? |

Hi explorer, This is what I am trying to understand - when you say POF, is it referring to the amount accompanying me or would a bank statement showing my proof of funds do? I am currently in the US Congratulations, under FSW you can land in Toronto even though you mentioned some other landing place. No interview is conducted at the time of landing, the officer at immigration can ask about POF and you should submit list of accompanying and to be followed good to customs.
