    Landing at Toronto Pearson at night.

    If you are bringing in more than $10,000, be sure to declare it. It's not an issue to bring money, but if you don't declare, if more than $10,000 and they find out, you will be penalized Follow the link deweysmith posted in his reply above Ray

    Enter Canada with a non-Canadian passport & a Canadian citizenship certificate?

    The two are not related. Just because the airline allow you to board the plane, doesn't mean CBSA has to let you into the country. Now, as itguy78 pointed out, if you have a legal right to be here, CBSA will let you in, but if you don't and the airline let you board the plane, CBSA can still...

    Questions about Applying for a travel document (permanent resident abroad)

    As others have mentioned, even if you don't get the card in time, your US passport would allow you to enter. I don't think there would be any issues, but if CBSA asks, you have documented proof that you submitted the renewal and requested urgent processing. I don't think you will have any...

    Shifting large amount of money

    If you bring in over $10,000, you have to check 'I have more than 10k' every single time you have over that amount, not just once. For example, if you bring over $10,000 twice, you have to check that both times. Also, note that it is CAD equivalent. If you have $9,000 in USD, that may be over...

    Questions about Applying for a travel document (permanent resident abroad)

    If you requested urgent processing and enclosed the travel documents, more than likely you will receive the card in time. Don't always believe what CIC call centre tells you. Did you write on the envelop "Requesting Urgent Processing"?? I think (could be wrong), you need to write that, which...

    is it possible to open a bank account with no address ?

    Some banks may allow you to open an account with your home country address, even before you get to Canada. I opened an account with HSBC while I was still not in Canada, using my home country address Ray

    Oath letter received but ecas still "in process"

    The oath letter states that you need to bring the originals of all the documents your submitted with your application (unless your oath letter doesn't). Likely, they won't see all those documents, but if the letter states that, you probably want to have it with you than not Ray

    New baby born during my citizenship application

    Link to case specific email https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx If, instead, you want to send a fax, you can do that too. I think there is also a fax number (I dont have that). If you call the call centre, they should be able to give that to you Ray
