I raised CSE regarding my marriage issue and got the following reply. Now how to contact LVO ?


Sir, Madam,

Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:

File at Visa Office or Specialized Office

Since your file is located at a Canadian visa office outside Canada or a specialized office inside Canada, you would need to contact them in order to obtain information regarding the status of your application or to update your address

Vishal you need to carry proof of funds. If you are carrying a bank statement , it should be from a Canadian bank and If i remember correctly there nova scotia has a startup program for immigrants. You can open the account and deposit money here

By the way, could you let me know the PPR request date

My Landing Experience on Toronto Pearson airport

Today i will share my experience of my journey to Canada. I landed on 30th Jan in Toronto Pearson airport.

I choose Emirates(Dhaka to Toronto) and bought the tickets through IOM Bangladesh.They have very good rate for Toronto by emirates/turkish and qatar(not sure though) for Bangladeshi Immigrants. We got huge discount on tickets. Their usual price was 115,000 BDT per person and i paid only 71,094 BDT. Two tickets costed me 142,188 tk in economy class. Booked the ticket on 19th january and flight was on 29th Jan at 6.15PM.


Reached to the airport a bit early, 3 hours ago. We had 4 bags(3 of them were below 23kg and only one of them was 32kg for which we had to pay 50 USD for the extra weight) and 2 hand luggage. I will suggest to keep the hand bag/back pack light weight since you have to walk a lot in the airports. While we checked in emirates counter in Dhaka airport the person in the counter upgraded our seats to business class for free up to Dubai. BD immigration did not check so much.....so dont worry. Try to bring as much money as possible in hand bag or pocket. Share the money with all family members hand bag. Dont put it at one place. When i came ...i faced no issue in baggage checking.

We had our transit in Dubai for around 12 hours We reached in dubai at 9.55 PM and our flight to Toronto was in the next day at 10AM. The business class experience was really awesome in Emirates. It was a Boeing 777. Huge leg space and sleeping arrangement. Nice in flight entertainment system. Food was great. They served much foods....Nuts..fruits...even chocolates. Finest drinks like Chevas Regal..Martini..Beiles..even Champagne was for free. I had Chevas regal and Champagne. They served the drinks with nuts. Awesome service. Didnt notice when how it has been passed 05 HRS 40 MIN and we reached dubai. Then we landed at dubai airport. Such a big airport with awesomeness. We went to emirates bank counter in the airport for stamping our passports and then went to passport counters where the imigration officer provided our one day tarnsit visa on the go.Directions was really great in this big airport and we headed to out hotel in few mins. Loved the city on our way to hotel. The hotel was really nice including the food experience at dinner and breakfast. Ya...it was buffet. We ate a lot. :D :D :D. Dubai will be in my list to pass some days in my future tours. Seriously!


Then the morning came and we got ready for our next flight to Toronto. Its gonna be long journey of 15 hours. What the heck! Such a long journey. It was boring this time. Long long journey in the economy class. Felt like overpopulated cabin :p. But overall not that bad journey except the duration/15 hrs. Sleeping...watching movie...having food helped me to pass this long time.


At last, its the time to land in the dream land...ya..the Pearson Airport. The flight landed in time. It was around 3.30 PM. Lovely sunny day was outside of the plane. Felt really happy with looking at the sunny day since it was winter(-20 c) here. Ice and ice wherever eyes reach though it was a sunny day. I guessed winter is gloomy here. But i was wrong i guess. The day was bright. We landed in Terminal 3. Headed to immigration. There was no rush. It took only 15 mins. Provided the canadian address here. I gave the COPR and Passport and then went to the SIN counter to get the SIN number. There waited for 20 mins and we got the SIN number.


Then headed to the baggage counter. We provided the b4 form and good accompanying list there. The officer was happy to see that we printed the GOLD goods photo and he kept a copy of the lists. Thats it. We got the baggage in the chain ready. It took one hour to complete the landing process. Now its time to heading out of the airport. My friends were waiting there. Got an warm welcome :) :) :)

congrats and +1

NOT MUST but its always better to have. Otherwise you will take along either cash, bankers cheque or travellers cheque. You can open your account here while in India at Scotia bank and can get activated it at the nearest branch of your location after landing anywhere in Canada. They will provide you the statement of your deposits which you can present (and accepted as well) at the immigration counter in Canada as POF.

Well I don't want to open canadian account from India. I will do it when there. and I am not going to carry cash or traveller's check worth 12K. will only carry few thousand.

My question is that will they accept POF from Indian and US bank which is what I submitted at time of application. They should be ok since i can always transfer it later to canada?

Can others answer as well.


thanks.

Yup totally agree with ssbv. Best option is to open a bank account with Scotia bank. They have a Start Right program for immigrants moving to Canada. Call them up or visit them if you in Delhi/Mumbai/Bangalore. If this option doesn't work then get a DD made in CAD for the required POF.


All the best,

Cheers!
