1. I have Jewellery worth Rs. 8 lacs that is approximately 16,000 CAD. Is this high worth? Should I take photos and add in my Goods accompanying list? Or can I just carry it in my hand bag.

2..Please tell me what amount is really high worth approximately.

3. My son will land and be there only for 2 weeks. He has a return ticket also. Staying for 2 weeks is he eligible to apply and get the PR card. I will be staying on and his card can be delivered to my address even if he leaves. Anything specific needs to be done for such short stay? Please Advise.

4. Same for my daughter who will drive from USA and do the landing and be there for 2 weeks. Anything we need to keep in mind like what sort of questions will be asked at the border and what to disclose and what not to disclose?

Both my children will eventually join us after about 12 to 14 months say in 2013.

Please seniors guide me on this. Thank you.

Hi. You better write your questions in English. anyway, if your husband has an arranged employment offer no need for proof of funds but if your husband applied for an immigrant visa under the skilled worker program then there's a need to show proof of funds. yes its required. if he has AEO, then show proof of Labor market opinion (from HRSDC). The principal applicant has to make the formal landing first before the dependents. so you as the dependent is not required to show POF since you are not the principal applicant.

Dear Qarax
On the point:5. PR Card Application (IMM 5444E). -carry it filled pre-printed, for ease
In the form of application for permanent resident card
1)On which date you became permanent resident -what we have to fill there visa issued date or landing date.
2)on the address list it is written your address history for the past five years it means we have to mention address from home country as well.
As you told that filled pre printed for ease - we will not able to know the day of becoming permanent resident earlier so i am little bit confused.
Hope you have understood what i want to know .
yours faithfully

Hi,

I've repeated this many times over... u don't require to fill the IMM5444E anymore... it'd be filed 'automatically', online, by the BSO while 'recording ur landing' at the a/port.

Hi qorax
I've taken color photographs of all jewelries in a a4 size photo paper. Is it ok? Or can I take b/w photos in a a4 size offset paper?

Hello all,

At the time of landing one issue happened with me. When I finished my immigration and coming out with my luggage, last security officer asked me whether I have goods to follow or not. I said I don't have but I have some jewelery back home, for which I have B4A form with list and 2 sets of Photo. The officer asked me whether it is stamped by jeweler or not. I said no. So he told me you must do it and then come to air port again for stamping it. So I got out from last exit.

Suddenly I got confused so I went to custom office again which is accessible from out side. Now I asked another custom officer for this issue. Surprisingly that officer did not asked me any stamped photo. He gave me another B4A form and told me to fill it up and come back to him. I seat in arrival waiting area and made another list with numbering the photos. I returned to him. He just stamped my photo's,B4A form and gave me one copy from it for my reference. They did not checked any accompanying goods list or B4 form and not stamped it either. I don't know whether it is right or wrong but was my experience.

So the moral of the story is, if your are bringing any jewelry list with you, try to get stamped photo's from any jeweler. It is not sure that IO will check those stamps but it is for your ease.

Regards,
