Charmbelle,

I have not heard anything yet, still waiting for them. I guess they are just taking their time.

But have you gotten your own Visa and CoPR? Why is you daughters passport coming so late when u got PPR in August?
(Just curious)
AVO is not working today, so from tomorrow we should hear from them.
Please do you know why they aren't working today?
They just they keep person for suspense ! Chai!!!!!

Hi Forum Brothers and Sisters,
I Landed at Calgary International On the 29th of February about 13:40 Calgary Time, i flew Klm with a brief transit at Amsterdam, flight to Amsterdam was approx. 6hrs and the flight from Amsterdam to Calgary was 9Hrs approx. Landing formalities was simple and straight forward for me, all international arrivals were on one long queue and when it was my turn to see the immigration officer i submitted my landing card, copr and passports,he asked what my status was and before i could say anything he had already seeing the immigrant visa and he said oh u are landing today and i said yes,he responded Welcome to Canada, he asked if i had luggage arriving later and i said no, he now asked me what was the content of my checked in Luggage and i told him it was just a few clothes and food condiments, i told him that the fish and stockfish and vegetables were all very dry and he said thats ok, he asked if i had the herbal stuff that they boil and drink, i realised he was asking me about Jedi or Agbo and i told him no, he said it was cool i wasnt carrying that, he told me about a family that arrived earlier and were carrying it but that they were lucky they declared it, i cant really remember if he said they were fined or not for that, he directed me to the section where i was to do the landing documentation proper, i guess it was about there break time so i was on queue for about an Hour before it got to my turn as there werent many immigration officials at there desk at that point, it was very simple, i signed on my copr, i was asked if i had any more dependant apart from the ones listed on my copr and i said no, he asked me if i had a Canadian address where my PR would be sent and i said yes, i gave him the addy and he confirmed it will take about 6-8 weeks for my PR card to arrive, we chatted briefly about the cold in canada and my previous country of residence Scotland, and that was my landing formalities concluded, i proceeded to the Luggage section, picked up my luggage and went out to see my Host who was already waiting outside for me in the car as we had communicated via whatsapp while i was doing the landing formalities. No mention was made of POF in my case or about cash that i was carrying.
I pray for all forum members still waiting for one update or the other to be patient and pray for positive answers, i know it can be tough to wait, but in this case its best to keep our minds occupied with something else like sending out cvs to canadian employers and researching about life in canada generally, God will surely see us all through to the promise land in the end.

Congratulations on your landing, Smipo. May you eat of the goodness of the land.

On getting a bank statement as POF at POE, I would suggest everyone refer back to the cic website on what is considered acceptable evidences of cash. As stated on the website, acceptable evidences are traveller's check, investment statement, Money Order, Bank draft, Cash etc... The reason I raised this is because my MAP officer actually mentioned it. So, for the man who was stopped at the POE for having his investment letter, the link below says it was acceptable.

Hopefully, the house won't be this quiet tomorrow.

Very soon
Reason being that, my wife was pregnant and close to her EDD when our PPR arrived.I had to inform AVO and we were asked to let them know when she puts to bed so as to include our new addition(daughter in this case).
We left our passports with AVO and did exactly as they had requested.
