It is not necessary to fill B4A form. I used my own excel sheets, so on the B4 form I ticked "other". I passed landing with no problems, the officer just stamped my B4 form and excel sheets.

Hi,
We are landing on 6th April so in a process of completing B4 forms.we have GAL n GTF lists that we have already filled using the B4 form but separately.

Now I have got this B4A form through a link on this forum n that has created such a confusion.

We have filled B4 form for GTF list n attached with it separate excel sheets for the details of goods listed.

At the bottom of the table where goods are mentioned ,there is a space asking for additional list of goods with options of B4A form,moving inventory,other......what should we do with these options both in GTF n GAL ?

Is this B4A form for GAL or is that to be used for the purpose of what we have made separate excel sheets?
Like in GTF list we have mentioned the list of electronics,clothings,kitchenware,jewellery n for the details of each group we have made excel sheets e.g;one for electronics,one for jewellery.
So instead of making excel sheets,we should use B4A forms for each group?or B4A form for GAL?

I know n I really feel sorry that though this topic has been discussed so many times on this forum n thanks to qorax n other senior members who have put so much efforts to guide others but after completing this whole stuff ,I still have these confusions.....filling of this additional goods column n Use of B4A form.

Please if anyone can give some hint n help me in getting rid of these confusions....

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi,

Provincial & territorial engineering regulatory bodies r responsible for 'licensing' his profession. Therefore, once u know where u'd settle & work in Canada, u should contact the appropriate regulatory body for details on the licensure procedures (See list here).

However, while not part of the registration process itself, it'd be wise to also get his overseas Engg. Quals Assessed. For which he need to contact Engineering Canada, they've an International Education Assessment Program / Tool for the same. The assessment provides applicants with valuable information on how their foreign education compares to a Canadian engineering education. Which could be the forerunner for his subsequent 'licensing'.

All the best.

Hi Qorax

We are flying to Toronto on 10th May

My Itenray is Doha - Heathrow London - Toronto & return trip is Toronto - Heathrow London - Doha

First, Do we need transit Visa forLondon. We will be there for 5-6 hrs only and NOT COMING out of Airport. My agent says NO. Someone on the Forum said, it is required?

Second, My Husband will fly back in two weeks & I'll stay there for a month or so TO RECEIVE THE PR Cards. Approx How much time will that take?

Third, How do we take the funds (for 3). What percentage.

Fourth & Last, Is there a problem if we tell / don't tell the Immigration custom whether Husband is flying back in 2 weeks time. What if they ask?

rgds

Can I ask my friend to Make a CAD$ Bank draft in my name, meaning I will be the beneficiary but he will be the issuer, Will this have any adverse effect, while showing this Draft as Proof of Landing or while depositing it into my New Bank account in Canada.

The reason to go through this route is that In case some complication arises with Bank draft my friend can resolve it here, since he will still be in Dubai and had initiated the draft. where is in case i make it from my bank account i will not be able to do any thing since I will be out of Dubai and would not be able to come back without visa.

Any one who has done it, or is from banking back ground can comment / advise on this course of action.

Dear Qorax,

I will be landing in a couple of days and one of my family friends need some homeopathic medications.

I am quite worried as i have heard that medicines are restricted item.

Is there any legal way to carry this stuff, and in what quantity and where to put medicines either in my

checked luggage or in hand carry?

WAITING FOR YOUR EXPERT OPINION...please reply

I imported all my medicines with no problem in checked-in luggage. I just declared all of them on my B4 forms. The officer stamped them without checking my luggage.
