Thanks dan and ellia. Anyone who landed has any tips?

Hi all, We are landing in Saskatoon with family on June 3 and have some questions. We'll really appreciate help and answers from the helpful forum members since we are really anxious to know if we missed out something. 1. Taking Passports and CoPR, filled 186 and 186a forms with pictures of...

You're also going to Sask like me. Can you please forward the mail from them on RBC docs to poutineguy411@gmail.com? Are they allowing only 1 wire transfer before landing and is it free? I heard they also have preferential exchange rates for newcomers.

I have done enough research on this topic including writing to to SOPA and CBSA. CIC instructions that you copy-pasted is the written documentation that everyone refers to. For 95% of landing cases, they just verbally ask how much money you have.. and if you answer more than what is required for...

Several people in this thread have landed with bank statements and only 3k/5k in cash. Nearly all cases, CBSA never checked any currency or statements, just verbally asked how much are they carrying. Maybe for 95% cases, they don't verify actual currency. http COLON //www DOT canadavisa DOT...

If you are not going to spend in USD or invest in USD in the near future, then converting into USD is not needed. CDN is appreciating against USD in the last few months, so you'll lose much more by holding USD. Directly convert into CDN.. as per recent trend, sooner the better. But no one knows...

Well, my Settlement Advisor has something else to say. The Indian bank statement will not be acceptable at the airport. They have to bring cash equivalent to 18k Canadian no matter what currency or traveller cheques. The other thing they can do if they can transfer that amount to a Canadian...

I'm convinced that your statements make sense. Only wondering why several others get so worked up with this landing proof of funds and scare-monger that INR statements or Forex cards won't work. I spoke to CBSA call center. They said CBSA officers at POE will just follow "CIC Instructions to...

From the Ontario settlement site whose link I gave above. It appears the site is badly written. Neither it says what is the minimum to be carried nor says how it should be carried. Asivad - Your thoughts on POF at landing are at odds with what is generally mentioned in this forum. Apart from...

Asivad refers to Qorax's post when he says 6 years old: http colon //www dot canadavisa dot com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/proof-of-landing-funds-t39318.0 dot html Hi Asivad, Can you please give more details on the more latest happenings that would invalidate Qorax? INR is still not a...

Currencyfair costs only 4 dollars. I don't understand this tearing hurry to open bank account before landing. It takes just 30 min... and there's no use with an inactive account anyway.

I'm a lurker here but have read many posts of yours. This is not a theoretical post and is good advice. Networking, Communication, Retaining homeland ties and community support are social skills, and having a hard deadline, is managerial. Anyone with such skills will be successful anywhere, not...

https COLON //services3 DOT cic DOT gc DOT ca/ecas/?app=coa&lang=en Can we use the above application to make Change of Address once PR card application is filed at landing? I have not landed yet, so my UCI number doesn't work with the above. Can someone who has landed and waiting for PR check...
