Got it. Will carry BSF186 as well. Thanks @ajj123

Ok then I need to fill out BSF186a only. As I will be carrying laptop and phones with me but that will stay with me when I leave. I will include everything in BSF186a form. Thanks.

Sure will have it filled just to save time. To be clear this is the form I should use correct? https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf186-eng.pdf Thanks @ajj123 @lampbreaker

@lampbreaker @harirajmohan Thanks for clarification and quick response. Hopefully visa interview will be smooth for us and will be able to come back to USA in time. Thanks again.

@AK11503 I don't think that counts as you do not have any appointment taken at US consulate. @harirajmohan @lampbreaker First of all thanks for your posts above. Very helpful information. I have taken visa appointment at US consulate in canada. Since we both have h1/h4 extension approved I...

@ajj123 @Mirapakay Any thoughts on this - I will be soft landing at airport and have prepared an excel document with list of items I am carrying with me, and another list of items that I can bring later. Questions- is it ok to bring printed excel list or I need to fill in specific form? I am...

Yes. But I guess this is would be more recent document that you will show as proof of funds when landing. Also I read in other forums if you are carrying more than 10k CAD then you will have to declare it to customs and apparently there is form need to one filled out for it.

Now we have scheduled for visa interview at US consulate in Canada. If I knew about AVR before I would not have scheduled visa interview. As we are h1/h4 applicants with approved extension on I797.

Thanks @ajj123 for response. I will carry POF letter from bank and will carry cashier's check of small amount. I did speak with Royal bank of canada and they said they will b able to process USD cashier's check in CAD, with fees of 20 CAD. @Mirapakay Here is the proof of funds page showing how...

@ajj123 I did call TD bank and they were like we don't know what is a cashier's check. When I told them it is a check drafted on my name and in USD, they asked me to bring it in and they should be able to process it. (Not totally convinced, will have to check with other banks) Since you just...

@jisho Did you find any information on this? I am also planning to do soft landing and I was been told by counselar that I don't need to fill this form. And I am confused reading about this form. Please post your response if you found any info. Thanks.

@aki_arora Thanks guys for this post. Wish I had come across it earlier. I am planning to do soft landing in canada next week and planning to comeback in a week time, probably will drive back using rental car (canada to us) I will be landing at Toronto airport and have prepared an excel...

Hello @kc247 and @Hurlabrick, I am also planning to do soft landing for about a week and return back to states, and move later time with belongings. What happened in your case? Did anyone ask for goods to follow list? The link above is not working. Please suggest. Thanks.

Hi did you get your pp back yet? If yes, can you please post your timeline? Thanks.

It is not required but many applicants do submit w-2 as supporting documents along with the employment letter. In cases where applicant is not able to obtain an employment letter, they submit w-2, payslips as proof of employment. Do not worry if you have not submitted w2, cic will contact you if...
