We got our passports back with Pr visa stamped for me and husband. But no visa stamped for my 2 yr old daughter who has US passport. Although they gave COPR to her.
Did the same happen with anyone else?

Hi dpriya,

This is because she does not need a visa to enter Canada as she is an American citizen, all she needs is her COPR. So you are fine.

LANDING EXPERIENCE


Hello Folks!

I am back from Canada. It has been quite a while since my last post. I was busy with some travel and the Canada landing. Here is my landing experience.


I landed in Canada on 26 August 2014. I was already in UK for a trip, so I took a flight from London to Toronto. The flight was via Montreal. My destination in Canada as per my application was Calgary.

I landed in Montreal and was done with my immigration /landing formalities in a short while. The wait in the queue took an hour ..the immigration formalities itself took 15 minutes. I had nothing with me, just a small bag and no funds , no list of items to follow.

Immi Officer: How much funds are you carrying funds with you?
Me: Zero. Only cards.

Immi Officer: Okay. So how much money do you have at your disposal to be transferred to canada for your settlement?
Me: 30,000 CAD

Immi: Any goods to declare?
Me: Nothing.

Immi: ( Looking at my bag) Is that all you luggage ?
Me : Yes.

Immi: Any goods to follow?
Me: May be some items. My wife will landed later so she will get them

Immi: Address in Canada?
Me: ( my sisters address)

And that was it. He gave me the welcome to canada look and the book
Next day I rented a car and went to Service Ontario office. Got my SIN in 5 minutes. Checked a few banks for accounts,CC, etc.
Stayed in Canada for 7 days as a tourist. And returned. My sister will send me the PR card by post later.


If anybody has any queries regarding landing, feel free to drop me a line.

Good luck to all.

Regards

Thanks for sharing. +1

I like the part of your conversation with the immigration officer where even though you said you had zero funds with you, it wasn't a problem .

 

[islandbabe]

Very true Achiever,

Plus the fact that he landed in Montreal, quebec where the immigration officers were not as "strict/Firm" with him.

Very good info. Thanks for the same.

I have the same question as most of you have in mind regarding funds.....

I guess that also depends on the immigration officer you are dealing with. If you are lucky you can get in even without money as said by Mahyn. Secondly, the address you have given is of your sister's, which makes sure that you have a place to stay and live in Canada. So that ruled out the question "what will you do in Canada without money"

I don't remember the page number now but there were cases I have read in the forum that the officer actually ask for evidence of funds.

In my view, so that would be on discretion of immigration officer.

Thanks for sharing Mahyn

Immi Officer: How much funds are you carrying funds with you?
Me: Zero. Only cards.

Immi Officer: Okay. So how much money do you have at your disposal to be transferred to canada for your settlement?
Me: 30,000 CAD

This is a clear evidence that we don't need to carry any POF with us in the form of Cash / DD / TC but carrying only Debit cards / bank statement will suffice provided we convince the officer that we have minimum funds at our disposal which can be transferred to Canada.

This seems to be the case. I'm glad to hear it. I'd carry some with me, but don't want to travel with it all. Leaving some in a (recognized) bank would be my preference.

 

[islandbabe]

I doubt is CA Reha...if supporting documents seem genuine.....if they doubt it...most likely they will ask for confirmation.

Experts your opinion is highly ceded

 

[obryan20]

Hi islandbabe

Glad to know you got your visa. Been following this forum for a while.

I'm a 2014 FSW applicant who just got PER also hailing from Ja. Had a question to ask you based on the 2013 spreadsheet. I'm noticing that AOR date is only noted for you and kashka from the local ones who report, does Kingston VO send this normally? If not, how did you know when the file was transferred to Kingston?

 

[islandbabe]

Hi Obryan,

Congrats on your per. Our VO does not send out AOR's. Kaska got hers as she emailed them to update her file and they stated the date the file was received in the response letter. i got mine through CSE Case specific enquiry. I am sure your file is already in Kingston and you will get your visa within a year. Send me a PM and I will give you the link to a Jamaica cases forum.

regards,

Islandbabe
