Rajesh, 1. For proof of funds, I showed USD 28,000 (USD 8000 cash and USD 20,000 cashiers check). This was just to be on safe side. But for a family of 3 you are required to show only $16,967 You can see the matrix at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp - It is for skilled...

You are required to show proof of fund at the time of landing irrespective of what channel you got your PR through.

Thanks Despo.. No I just applied for SIN. I believe you need to apply for Health Card when you start staying there permanently. Not sure though. Also wondering how they keep track of your stay inside Canada as I did not see any exit date stamp on my passport by Canadian authority neither US...

Here are my answers: 1. For me it was 8 months after I recieved passport request. Its written on the passport request letter towards bottom of the first page. I do not know how they calculate it. 2. I was nominated by Alberta so its ethical (also to avoid any issue while getting citizenship 3...

Finally I came back to USA using AVR after completing my landing procedure. Here is my experience. Hope this helps others would be PRs. Could not sleep last night thinking about AVR and what if I'd be denied re-entry to US and blah blah... :( Reached Rainbow bridge at 9:30 AM on 05/31 along...

Guys, I'm landing this weekend (via rainbow bridge) using AVR and I would share the experience once I return back.

Hi Despo, I'll be landing this month with my wife and kid. My I94 is valid but H1-B is expired on passport. Would be using AVR but am little scared with the kind of risk involved. Also, I do not have any address in Canada for getting my PR Card. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Congrats Despo! Very happy for you...finally your long wait is over :)

I never submitted any kind of PCC (state or FBI) and they never asked for that. I recieved my Passport with Visa on 1/6/2010

Congrats Srini.

Hello goingalberta, I feel this may work. The best way to handle this is to send them whatever you have and if they need anything additional then they will ask you.

Hello Nix/Satyac, Read this experience on Murthy.com and it may give little more clarity/. "we can not send the PR cards to some one other than you" - this is what immigration officer said. http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=2124039761&m=7511088581

Hi Stayac, My PR Visa is valid till Aug '10. I'm planning to get into Alberta by Jun this year and I'll have a permanent address there before landing. I do not really see any valid options without actually getting yourself into CA.

Hello Satyac, After lot of research I found out that this is not a legitimate way to get your PR card. You must have your own address in Canada to get PR. However, I can see from this forum that lot of ppl are getting their PR at their friend's address which is not legal either.

Satyac, Though its required to give your permanent address in Canada but I've seen many ppl giving their friend's address. Once PR is recieved, friend can forward the mail to US address. But as I said this is not legitimate.

Thanks Nix. I'm waiting for Monday to send my passport for visa stamping. I'm also planning to land in coutts sometime in Jan and come back using AVR. Hope everything goes smooth.

I do not have any canadian address for reciving my PR Card. Is it legal to use rental mailing address to recieve SIN & PR Card like http://www.mailnetwork.com/index.html Can anyone provide any input on this.

Despo, Don't get disheartened. Your passport request must be on its way and will reach you before new year. I wish you all the best. Be patient.

Karishammar, Where did you recieve your PR Card. Do you have any address in canada where you recieved your PR Card?

Ram, You have included everything. Check with the letter you have recieved about reqmnt of sending one set of photo seperatly after writing your name on the back side. Can you tell me what is written on 1st page of your passport request letter towards very end...I mean what is the expiry date...
