Hello Everyone,

Finally my Sydney VO has requested my passport to be stamped with PR visa.

What are the steps involved in initial entry after PR? I have heard that I can take a bank cheque of whatever amount and it will not be taxed ? How do I take it ? I presume it's a bank cheque or a personal cheque.

What else should I do to me sure that I get all the benefits ? I had booked my tickets long back and getting the visa early has messed up my plans. Please advice as to can I do? I will be in Canada on 14th Dec for 5 days on a holiday.

Cheers,
