Hi all, We are moving from this apartment (work-related move) and hence need to sublet it. Available 1st Feb 2017...Our lease ends October 2017. 1 year full lease agreement can be discussed with the property management agency here. Following are the particulars of the unit: -Spacious 1 bedroom...

Thanks. I pray it happens soon for you and we get to meet sometime in Toronto. :) Will be in touch through the forum.

Any bank statement in your name, whether showing Canadian funds or foreign funds, as long as it is above the minimum threshold, is fine.

I like your answer. +1. Makes a lot of sense! Basically I take it as, it is better to simply establish yourself permanently in the province that nominated you. Later if you do get your citizenship, then probably it is safe to move elsewhere in Canada. That's how I see it.

Ya I'm landing on Oct 5th. But I don't have a job yet. Let's see how it goes. Good luck to you. Do you have any backup to this slow-ass Canada process?

That is interesting. Thanks for sharing. So it seems to be a serious thing and not to be taken lightly.

Hello old friends. Just stopped by here to wish you all good luck for speedy PPR, especially to those who have been waiting close to a year and longer. It really breaks my heart when I think about how much one has to endure just to get the PR let alone finding a job. I really wish October, the...

I believe it is a MORAL obligation and not LEGAL. So it is not mandatory. That of course leaves us with the open question whether deserting the province that nominated you will affect your citizenship application later on or not. Does anybody here have the actual link from cic website which...

Okay, thanks for your tip. I think I'll just carry photos. Seems easier than going to a jeweller to get stuff estimated etc.

Hi. As far as I know, we have a moral obligation (not legal obligation, they cannot force us to stay) to stay in the province that nominated us for at least the first 2 years. But then again, I have never read this anywhere on any official document or on cic website. I only know this from people...

Thank you very much! What's your industry/line? Maybe we can connect through LinkedIn? I'm in manufacturing.

Thank you so much, Bellaluna! You really put my mind at ease. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply. How are you doing? Are you in Toronto or elsewhere? :)

Hi everyone! I have a few urgent questions about landing. 1. Do we need to carry the PR card application pre-printed from our home country itself?? I read something like this in one of the step by step instructions somewhere on this forum. But I'm confused. I thought they will give us the PR...

I'm taking about $7000 in cash. Plus, either a Canadian bank account statement (if I am able to open an account from overseas and transfer) or a foreign bank statement, which is accepted.

Excellent! Thank you so much all, for sharing your experiences. This topic is at ease in my head for now. I love this forum!

Thanks a lot, lazybone! Lots of tips. Definitely helps. Will check on the opening of the Canadian bank account. People over at the SA Canada forum have actually done it from SA itself. So I think it is possible. Will be checking it out. Also, thanks for the heads up on the prepaid debit card. :)

Oh yes. That I know. Thanks. :D My main doubt right now is I hope if we show some or all funds in South African Rand currency, they will not expect to see in CAD only.

Thanks a lot for your recommendations! Unfortunately my wife cannot stay behind after me in SA. She's actually leaving in a week from now on Sep 4th to India where she will spend 2 months with family before leaving for Canada on Nov 4th. So basically here's what I'm thinking of doing: Option...

You're right. I think it is fine. I can look at opening an RBC account or something from here itself and transfer money beforehand. And I suppose as long as both self and wife carry bank statements from both our SA account and Canada account, we should be fine. Thanks for your help! +1

Thanks. It sounds like the easiest option but here's the thing: I will obviously have to make sure that after landing I can easily transfer the money from my South African account to my new Canadian account. We are Indians and don't have any family here, so we'll have to check if that transfer...
