Yes I did tell them how much I had in cash. However, you are only required to reveal the cash amount if it is in excess of $10K. The min requirements are only based on what CIC specifies: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp You can show this in cash or bank acc. Hope this...

Hey CCH, You mentioned about new immigrants having the "right" to 1200 hrs of English classes. Are these offered for free or we need to pay for taking them? It will helpful if you post a link where this is stated and what places I can take these classes. Much Appreciate, Karl

Appreciate it Qorax and Leon!! Great job on the forum guys!

Hey Qorax, I successfully landed yesterday. Kudos!! to this thread started by you, it is very informative. I need your advice on one thing thou: The IO did not ask us (me and my wife) for PR card photos. Also I did not remember to ask if she needed them. What is the best that I can do now...

I am landing first in Alberta and really have no place to go. Initially I plan book a hotel but after that do not really know what address I will provide at the POE for PR. I do not know anyone in Canada. Do you know of any good places for accommodationin Alberta which are reasonable on the...

Thx CCH, your input is helpful :)

Appreciate it Qorax!!

Hey CCH, I hope you are doing well and wish you remember me :D. We were in touch during the AINP nomination process and visa issuance procedures on the forum. Anyways, wanted to ask you a few: 1. Did you land in Alberta or elsewhere in Canada? 2. What address did you provide during Landing for...

Rinks, Thx for your reply. But as per what I have read on this forum, Mailing address on PR cards have to be within Canada. Seniors plz clarify.

Hey Qorax, I along with my family (wife) am planning to land this weekend to complete the landing formalities. However, we will have to return back to my home country after completing the landing formalities, SIN, Drivers, Bank etc in about a week or so. My questions to you are: 1. Is it...

sarav, I think you should write to them immediately explaining the confusing nature of instructions. You want to be safe from you end regarding this matter and have every form or communication in writing. Fax and email at the same time asking them what exactly they want you to do as the...

Hi Nomad, I have been active on the forum and do remember that Computer Engineering was taken off the list sometime in 2009 from the AINP list. But just assumed things might have changed and just thought of asking if anyone knew of any other provinces requiring Computer Engineers. But thanks for...

Call your local Police station and ask them if they take Fingerprints for background check. If they do, go to them - if not, ask them where in the city does the Police do it .... may be the Sheriff's station does it. Mind you, if the local Police/ Sheriff has taken the finger prints, it will be...

Re: New Passport - Dipen I have the same thing - Old and new passport business. Logically since CIC and AB have screened your application all the way thru, at this point they shudn't need to verify the old passport details. However, inspite of this, I send both - old & new - to avoid any...

Email2, Thanks for the link. I went thru it, seems like there is "no requirement" for proof of funds for Provincial Nominees. A PN just has to declare the amount if taking more than $10,000 Canadian. Is this correct or am I missing some pieces here? Much thanks, Karl

Congrats CCH!! Great going.... what a great time for the cards to arrive - weekend + beginning of Olympics...ha! And the best places to live, yeah I read that on yahoo yesterday. Surprised to see no US cities there. So where have you based yourself in Alberta? :) Karl
