[amit_27]

Hi.

I have received my PR and passport has been stamped.
So can somebody please tell me what documents I would need to present at the customs upon arrival?

Your COPR should have the instructions.


A Canadian immigrant visa (if applicable) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence for each family member traveling with you
A valid passport or other travel document for each family member traveling with you

Optional:

Two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you
Two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value

1) Your "actual" Passport.

2) COPR document - IMM 5292B.

3) Its good to take photos for PR Card. Sometimes, the officer takes the photo at the desk. Again depends on airport.

Thanks a lot. But, the 2 points mentioned earlier, they are optional so it's not necessary right?

Well it is only optional if you are not bringing anything in with you nor are you having any goods following!

If you are bringing suitcases and stuff in with you (virtually everyone does!), then you MUST list the contents with estimated values in two copies of 'goods accompanying'

If you are shipping your belonging and they will arrive separately, then you MUST list the content with estimated values in two copies of 'good to follow'

So they are 'optional' only to the extent they only apply if you are brining stuff with you (which I am sure you probably are).
