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

[maplezone]

Dear seniors,

I got my driving license from the country of my residence almost 9 months ago ( less than 12 months). I am planning to do a short landing for almost 2-3 months.

1) Please guide me , in my case how do I have to apply and under which category ? G1 or G2 ? What is the procedure for my case ?

2) For my current driving license do I need to issue a letter from the ministry of road and transport ? As I said, I have a driving license of less than 12 months , so will it help ?

3) Some ppl are saying that if I am planning to do a short landing that is for 2-3 months , then it is not a good idea to apply for a driving license .. Is it so ?

While you apply and wait for the PR for your spouse, you can also apply for a TRV (Visitor Visa) in the interim.

Thanks alok4best.

Any idea if visit visa applications of such cases r entertained?

I am planning a short landing for PR. Just wanted to know do my one time entry visa has to be valid at the time of departure if i depart without PR card? There is no issue leaving Canada with an expired visa? I am asking this because I will be transiting through UK and they demand that I can transit as long as I have a valid Canadian Visa.

Yes

if i am planning for soft landing one month, is it adviseable to apply for health card?

In filling the custom declaration form that we be given to us in the plane, what should we tick in the field: purpose of visit? there are three options : Study, Personal and Business. Also do we need to fill in the part B of the form( visitors to canada) ?

Would be v interested to know the answer to the last question too....

Apply elimination rule:

Its not Study nor its Business...

Only left option remain is Personal ...Your immigration matters are of course personal

Great. I will also list the number of days (for me it will be 1 as I am simply landing and then will return next year for good)

I used an attorney so recall them saying that the PR card will last 5 years and within these 5 years I had to complete a three year period of stay within Canada in order to then be able to claim for nationality or I'd have to renew the PR card.

Yes. You could apply for a TRV. However it is not guaranteed. You could get it, or could not. It depends.

Add three years from the date of first entry

27-Dec-13 + 3 years = 26-Dec-16

Add 3 months approx ..Thus

26-Dec-16 + 3 months = 26-March-17

Minus two days to make it 88 days

Thus it it comes to 24 March 2017 is the max day you should land in Canada.


Reach 1 week earlier at least... Ideally reach by 26-March-2017 so that you may have 88 days buffer & may leave country for short duration in case of emergency.
