LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

[alok4best]

Hi

I can not answer all of your questions but some:

And I will add some more.

2. If spouse enters Canada later, whether the PR Card for spouse and principal applicant receives at same time?
No necessarily. There can be a gap of few days to a couple of weeks even if everything is right with the PR card processing.
A lot of things dictate the arrival of PR card.

4. Is it mandatory both Principal applicant and spouse availability in Canada till getting the PR card?
Not really. The cards are sent through Canada post, who will simply drop the envelopes in the letter box. Hence, you do not have to be physically present to collect it. In case Canada post is not able to drop it in the letter box, they will leave a note for the addressee to come and collect it from post office. This can make things tricky, as they will ask for ID and will not give envelope to anyone else.

Attention: Anyone who has an enquiry on mailing PR Card outside Canada

PR cards for my family were issued & sent in normal course to a friend's address in Toronto and he sent me the same to Dubai by FedEx priority courier. The pack reached Dubai in 4 days. I used Dubai residential address, the delivery man called me in my mobile and handed over the pack at home.

My point is it's always better to get it through someone you know personally or carries himself. But even a FedEx courier can also do the job!

Cheers!!!

Good to know

Dear Seniors,

I have just got the CPR for my family and myself. I plan to do my landing in the month of June as I get leave from work only 2 weeks ( I will wrap up and leave for good only in a years time)

However on checking my CPR I realised there is a medical surveillance code 2.02 on it.

I did have to repeat my medicals ( since I have a patch on my lung since childhood) and all was clear. I am now worried if I will be able to complete all my formalities within the 2 week time span ....in order to get my PR card.

Would appreciate if anyone of you could help throw some light on this.

Hi Seniors,

I am inquiring on medical insurance for initial 3 months and founds that ICICI is offering both travel and medical insurance for initial 3 months. Do you think taking medical insurance from ICICI is worth taking or please suggest a good travel and medical insurance company.

Hello Friends,

I am going to do landing this weekend. Now I have a few questions. If any one can answer, it would be much appreciated

1. I am the primary applicant. I am doing landing first, and my husband will do it later at June. It should be ok. Right?

2. What documents I should bring with me. All I can think of is as below. Please let me know if I miss any.

1). Passport with visa
2). COPR letter
3). Proof of funds
4). family records (marriage certificate etc.)
5). Driver licences
6). Proof of address in Canada

3. I am already in Canada now. I am planning to drive to Rainbow bridge for landing. For the proof of funds, I have enough funds in my bank accounts of Canada. Can I just show them the bank statement and current balance? Do I need withdraw some cash and make it to bank draft? like $10,000 CAD. I don't want to bring cash actually, but I don't know is that ok if I just show them the statement?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I have a few questions:

1. I want to land in April. I'm going to buy a return plane ticket to Canada, as it is much cheaper than a one way ticket. I have absolutely no intention of going back and leaving Canada in the foreseeable future. If the immigration officer at the POE gets to know somehow about the return ticket, will that cause me trouble? Can they accuse me of lying?
2. My family back in my country is going to sent me some of my stuff (winter clothing) by post after I land. Do I have to put it in the form as "goods to follow"? (I think I've already asked that question, but want to ask again for certainty).
3. How much money do I have to bring with me as a proof of funds? I'm a single person with no dependants.
4. Do I need to present any proof of address in Canada at the POE? If so, what is considered "proof of address"?
5. And one more thing, how long does the entire landing procedure take?

I am very much thankful to God and the friends from this forum. I landed in calgary yesterday at 1800hrs. I took Qatar from Lahore Pakistan to Doha and Qatar A380 from Doha to Heathrow. Remarkable service, very pleasant and superb quality people and journey. From Heathrow to Calgary It was BA. very bad. Will share details later.
Calgary after a long walk a beautiful lady smiled at passport and immigration desk and after formal hello high ask few questions which I answered truthfully. I told here that I have food stuff in my luguage but everything is commercially packed, the spices and pickle bt nothing dairy or meat product. Also I told here that as I have two adult ticket so I am carrying 400 cigarettes packed and one extra pack which is in my use. she smiled and said good. then I moved to CBSA officer and he checked CORPs and stamped the passports after documentation.
CBSA officer asked ma about the funds and I said I have over 10000 CAD dollar. He asked me how much, I told him that exact figure I don't know because I have US Dollars and pounds and Paki currency too. He said I don't care give me your best idea. I gave him approximate figure and he said you know what get a Bank account tomorrow. I have everything in cash and then I told him that I have some jewelry as well. He looked at me and said are you sure "some", and I said yes for me its some because rest would be in goods to follow list. he never ask me for pictures but said do get the pictures and said welcome to Canada. enjoy.
And that is it no baggage check, no question answers, no problem, where ever I move get priority because of kids. at aiports even the security staff offer lifts to move at Heathrow and given extra care due to kids, even early boarding on planes.
Altogether I am happy, no jet lags. Just perfect.

What about bringing prescription/non-prescription medication to Canada?
I have a few boxes/blisters of leftover prescription medication sitting in my fridge (mostly leftover antibiotics, meds for infections), which I want to bring just in case I have an infection within the 3 months of waiting for medical insurance.
I'm also planning on bringing 6 boxes of other regular prescription medication, as I don't know how long I will have to wait for the doctor's appointment after I've obtained medical insurance.
Do I have to mention the meds in the "goods accompanying" form and price them/inform the officer about bringing them to Canada?
Will that cause any trouble at the POE? Can I have problems concerning those meds? What if I'm not allowed to bring those into Canada, will they just take them away from me, or will they start some legal procedure against me? I really don't want to break the law and be considered a criminal (and have my PR taken away).
My concern may seem strange and blown out of proportion, but I guess that in most countries prescription medication is
something as controlled substances, so they may frown upon bringing it into Canada.
