Please can peolpe with similar experience share thier views. would there be any problem landing in a different town from what was filled in the application form.
During my application for FSW PR visa, i filled in Calgry as place to live, but now am landing in toronto as the person i planned to stay with no longer lives in Calagry.

Pls help out. thanks
I can see people have answered your question correctly. My case is a typical example.
I filled in Edmonton on the application forms. When they sent our PPR, I still filled in Edmonton on the update form but we landed in Toronto without any question or issue.

Best wishes

Hi madam,
Congratulations. Well done. Which area did you land in Toronto. How did you get accomodation. Wishing to land in toronto too. How about the issue of health insurance. Did you plan to do temporary insurance before the 3 month waiting period for ontario's health insurance. Congratulations once again.
Landed in Mississauga. I don't plan to do a temporary health insurance ooooo I came with some few drugs and am positive we won't have need for hospital visit within the 3 months waiting period. As per accommodation it might be a bit challenging getting a house before you land but friends can help you book some for viewing prior to your landing and if you are okay with it you sign the agreement.
Cheers

I don't think that is a wise decision oooooo. What bank statement Nigeria or where? Why only 500CAD if I may ask? POF for two is not much and can be safely carried as cash. They mostly do not request to see it what if they do? Please if you can carry cash if you can't then buy a draft but note that the draft might not be cashed immediately.

Bro, I would advise you have about USD10,000 in cash and the rest in your RBS bank draft. These bank instruments can sometimes pose clearing difficulties thereby leaving you in a frantic situation of despair. But never let that cash out of your sight or beyond your touch even though it is a relatively safe country. Just what me would do.

All the best.

The actual proof of FUnd for two is CAN 13,873.

My people,
This issue about getting your home country immunization record of your children(under 16) signed by a medical doctor before they will be admitted into any school is it strictly enforced? Calgary as a case in point.

My People

Happy valentine may we all find love in this season and many seasons to come!!! Yours sincerely landed on the 13th of Febuary 19:30 GMT at Pearson International Airport. Journey was quite smooth, we left Abuja 9am with British Airways arrived London about 3pm We left Heathrow about 5.30pm and arrived Toronto 7.30pm Canada time.

Please be mindful of the scale you use in weighing your luggage at home as mine misled us and we ended up paying so much for excess luggage!!! Also please remember the exact locations your IPad and laptops are as we waisted another 30mins at the security gate in Heathrow because I forgot to bring out one of the IPad from my hand luggage another round of detailed checking took place even when I told them we have just about an hour for the next flight I was still delayed. The lesson here is thto know where all the devices are and put them on a separate tray at security.

Flight was fun all thru as hubby and I took time to watch a movie while the kids were awake with excitement all thru the flight trust them it was one cartoon after the other!!!

We were well received by the custom officials, we told them how much we were carrying as proof of funds but they never bothered to check, our luggages were not checked also. It was smiles all around until we got outside the airport and the cold winter air welcomed us in it's own way.

Would be out today doing the needful and would keep you posted.

The forum is a blessing and am glad I found it, was with Seglad yersterday and would be together again today to do the needful. The list is endless but would in time acknowledge everyone's effort particularly that of the landed seniors I doubt if any one has disturbed them with calls from Nigeria like I have done always asking questions!!! Thanks for your patience. Thank you Pa Seglad, Oloye, TiTo, OmoGe, Shalom, Fernandez, Indan, Fatex and many more that would follow!

God bless Nigeria!!! God bless Canada.
