In the hope that it might be useful to new arrivals, I'm going to post my landing experience here. I applied under the Business/Self-Employed category. We landed at Vancouver (YVR) in June 2016. At immigration, we were asked to show our COPRs and passports. There were no questions asked and we...

I will land in Canada soon as a PR. My question relates to settlement funds. I don't want to bring too much cash and travelers cheques are a pain. Can I simply show a printout of my online bank statement showing sufficient funds? It is time-consuming and troublesome for me to get an official...

My family and I were recently granted PR in Canada. We will officially "land" by plane in a few months. However, my parents in the USA are offering to give me one of their cars (used) as a gift to help me get started in Canada. They say they will keep their insurance and plates to make it easier...

Just an update: We got our visas! All good. Thanks again to those who gave good advice.

Hi XpressEnterprise, Thank you for that. That is very useful! They have received all our medicals, so things are on track. I appreciate all your good advice and information!

Hi XpressEnterprise, Thank you for the reply! That is a relief. A quick follow-up question: Does the fact that they requested meds mean that they are in the final stages of processing my application? Once they receive the meds, what happens next and how long does it take? Thanks again!

Hi All, I posted a few weeks ago about missing my meds request for my wife and children. What happened was this: I got the email with the meds request, but the way it was displayed in my inbox made it look like it was only for my meds. I didn't see the meds request for my wife or children. I...

I made a major oversight. In mid-May, I received a request to undergo a medical. I did so within the required 30 days. However, because of the way the mails were displayed in my Gmail inbox, I did not notice that there were three other emails in the same group requesting the meds for my two...

Thanks Lammawitch!

Thanks Lammawitch! Sorry for the newbie question, but how does one send a CSE? And would I sent it to CIC or to the Singapore embassy?

Hello, I'm applying for PR as Self-Employed. CIC has confirmed that they received my complete application. The embassy where it's being processed has also confirmed receipt. About 11 weeks ago, they requested that I undergo my physical. I thought it was a bit odd, since they only asked that I...

I am planning to apply in the next month or so under the self-employed category. Does anyone know if the new rules will affect my chances at all? Any information would be very helpful! Thanks!

I am an American citizen. I'm going to apply for PR under the self-employed category. I can prove my income through various ways, including bank statements, contracts from employers etc. I have earned more than enough to qualify and I can show it in undeniable and concrete ways. Here's the rub...

I am applying for PR soon. I had open-heart surgery about eight years ago to correct a leaky heart valve. The surgery was a complete success and I take no medicine now and am very active athletically. I have no symptoms whatsoever. Does anyone foresee trouble with this on the health check? Has...

I am a dual national. For reasons that are too lengthy to explain here, I entered Canada one time with a passport that does not match the nationality of my PR card. Is this a problem? Is one required always to show one's PR card when entering Canada? Is one forbidden from using another...
