[D.Osman]

Dear members,
I see some posts about refusing PRC application when landing if short stay planned, any one have knowledge, how long is regarded as short stay, I'm planning for landing to buy tickets(round) and stay in Toronto for 28-32 days, is this a good period?

Dear Qorax,

Can you please help on what to write on the diembarkation card for our period to stay and what to tell the IO if we are only staying for a while so that they accept organizing our PRCs since if we tell them of the short stay period they'll refuse, so what to write on the diembarkation card & what to say to the IO? Please help & advise as we want to be well prepared.

Thank you very much

Dear Qorax,

Can you please reply to the above, or anyone with knowledge of what & how to write & say? I'm not quite good at lying & I don't want any complications with the processing of our PR cards. PLEASE HELP

Many thanks to all who can help.

Dear Dubaiite,

Thank you very much for answering but alot of pple have mentioned that they were asked (which seems to happen all the time) about how long they were to stay & when they answered (indicating a short period of stay) the officers either refused to proceed with the PR card or just didn't do it, I don't really want to go through that unprepared and then have complications afterwards and &'m not good at hiding or lying or just not telling the true thing, so I really need to know (& be prepared) what should I write in the diembarkation card for the period of stay, shall I write " landing or definitively or leave it blank or what & what to answer if I'm asked by the officer, will they need to verify with the tickets?

Thank you very much, God bless all those who help

On your disembarkation card you can leave blank the space provided for leaving the country.... If asked you can say not decided yet .....

Hi Mr. Luke.

If your family doesn't land, their PR visas will expire and you can not extend them but if you landed in time to get your own PR, you can sponsor them again. You would however have to be living in Canada to do that so after 2 years when you are ready to move, you must move alone and then apply to sponsor your family after you have arrived. You can expect the sponsorship process to take several months at least before they can join you.

On this trip in December, you can apply for your SIN and you can open a bank account. You get the SIN immediately and the SIN card will be mailed to the address you give them in about 2 weeks. The bank account can be opened in one day. The PR card can take 2-3 months but if you have a secure address to have it mailed to, the person who is taking delivery of it for you can mail it to you in India.

You are not eligible for health care because you are not staying. In order to be eligible for health care in any province, you must live there for at least 6 months a year. You are not eligible for child tax benefit until you and your children are residing in Canada as well.

There are too many acronyms used in the original post for newbie's to understand. There is a list of immigration acronyms on this forum which newbie's should reference. Here is the link:

Not sure if already mentioned but CPP now has another meaning in addition to Canada Pension Plan. CPP-O on this forum is the Case Processing Pilot office – Ottawa (CPP-O).

Hi to all Seniors,

Me and my wife will be landing on January of next year and plan to stay there only for 2 weeks. I have some few questions, I hope you guys could help me out.

1. Regarding the goods that we bring, I know that we should be declaring those both that are to be brought during the landing and the ones that are to follow. I plan to buy some jewelry before I leave UAE for good (which is on November next year), is it possible to declare it prospectiveky, if yes, how. I mean, the photos and all.

2. I know january will be one of the coldest month, we plan to buy few winter clothes from here in UAE is it advisable to buy from here or is it cheaper if we buy in Canada? I mean, we can buy a few sets here then buy the others there if its cheaper (sorry but Im just being frugal! )

3. Regarding the POF, I am having a citibank account do i need to convert it to a dollar account or its alright to keep it in UAE dirhams and just ask for a bank statement indicating its equivalence in Canadian Dollars? Furthermore, is a bank statement a good form of POF, of course Ill be carrying some cash. I mean should I rely on bank statement or better to bring a demand draft instead?

4. I have been invited to attend a CIIP seminar, what's it all about? (sorry for the ignorance) Will I benefit from it? should we go and attend? Is it compusary.


Im sorry for flooding you with questions some maybe silly but will really appreciate it if you'll give me your feedbacks.

Thanks in advance!
