    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    They will all be sent to the same address. If your spouse already has an address in Canada, why not just use that address as soon as you land? If your spouse's address is outside of Canada, they won't mail the cards there.

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    Any airport that receives flights from overseas will be able to process your landing. But don't land in Quebec.

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    What stage of the process are you at right now? If you don't have a visa yet, and you get married, you can add your wife to your application.

    Yes but I suggest you carry a printout of the recent exchange rate so there will not be confusion.

    It's possible but you must take the knowledge test and the road test. You will need to make an appointment. You might be able to make an appointment before you land, so you can get an appointment as soon as possible. You can only get a license without a test if you have a license from a country...

    Are you from a visa-exempt country? Meaning you can enter Canada without a visa, and you will only be issued a COPR, not a visa? (Hong Kong is visa-exempt, mainland China is not.) If you need to re-enter Canada without your PR card, you cannot do so via a commercial method of transport such as...

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    This is simply NOT TRUE. You do NOT have to carry actual cash or cash equivalents with you in the amount of your required POF. You only have to carry PROOF with you, NOT the actual funds. The immigration officer MIGHT ask for your proof of funds. You can be refused entry if you don't have it...

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    There is no requirement that any proof of funds be "certified" or "sealed" or come in the form of a letter from a bank or other person with access to your accounts. CIC always states very clearly when documents must be certified/witnessed etc. A simple statement of the accounts will do. If it's...

    No, but you can't re-enter Canada without it, so you need to have it sent to a trustworthy person who can send it to you. OR, if you are from a visa-exempt country (meaning you didn't get a visa in your passport, you only got a COPR), you can enter using just your passport and COPR, but you...

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    This is correct. It should also be noted that settlement funds consist of unencumbered, liquid or easily liquifiable funds, but you need not actually carry the required amount with you.

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    I have not seen anywhere that it is required but people seem to think it's a good idea, and I did, but they didn't take my forms at all!

    2. Date of landing. You do not become a PR until you land. 19. N/A is all you need to write. When you submit the form you will have been a PR for less than 5 years... maybe even less than 5 minutes.

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    We landed today in Vancouver. There was no wait for immigration. Granted it was a Sunday at 7:30 pm. The first two ladies were very nice. Then we went to the immigration officers themselves and unfortunately they weren't as nice. They didn't give us a hard time, they just seemed like they...

    We landed in Vancouver today. We are house hunting this week. It's expensive, but good to be here!

    Can't remember the name exactly but they were in Central on Connaught or Des Voeux Rd I think. There is a list of providers sent along with your medical request. It was fairly expensive for the adults, around HK$2500 if I recall.

    Yes you can leave Canada for a year but be careful to fulfill your residency requirement of two years out of every five. Your timeline doesn't seem unusual so far.
