lucky_ss said:Hello Seniors,
Am new to this forum. Recently received COPR and planning for a short landing. I have few questions to clarify:
1. Do We need Physical funds (in CAD$) or Bank Statements/Deposits in other Currency will suffix at Immigration during landing.
You don't need hard cash but need to show the proof, many people mentioned it's better not to use your home country's bank statement
2. Due to short landing, due to need to inform Immigration officer and how we could re-enter to Canada next time ( say after 3-4 months).
--No need to mention at the time of landing, there is no issue if you enter later.you would have to apply for travel document in absence of PR card
3. Also for Goods to follow list--> Can we get printed and attested by Immigration officer which we are going to bring during our second entry
-- It will be done on the form for "Goods to follow list"
Pls. do let me know.
You need your PR card if you want to travel back to Canada. If you do NOT have a PR card, then you have to apply for a one-time Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) from your home country before you start for Canada.lucky_ss said:Noted. Am from visa required nation and hence could you let us know for re-enter without PR card.
Also I don't have contacts to mention as address in Saskatoon.
Could anybody help
Sorry no. Canadian credit score is about your credit worthiness inside Canada, so your foreign credit score has no impact.jasonspeaks said:@ Raj / other seniors,
Would you know if an overseas (non Canadian) credit score if of any help at all? E.g. is the CIBIL Score Report from India of any use?
Regards,

1. Do We need Physical funds (in CAD$) or Bank Statements/Deposits in other Currency will suffix at Immigration during landing.
The proof of funds can be any physical instrument (e.g. Cash, Bank Draft, etc.), a bank statement of an account in Canada (US accounts are accepted, but some people have had issues with landing with statements from other countries, while others have passed smoothly). Therefore I would not advice using a foreign bank statement.
2. Due to short landing, due to need to inform Immigration officer and how we could re-enter to Canada next time ( say after 3-4 months).
No, they will ask for an address to send your PR card, if you have a friend's address anywhere in Canada, just give that (can be changed online later). If you don't have an address in Canada, tell them your staying at a hotel and don't have a permanent address yet. There are many forwarding services you can use instead of a physical address, they will forward the cards to you once it reaches them.
3. Also for Goods to follow list--> Can we get printed and attested by Immigration officer which we are going to bring during our second entry
Yes, the goods to follow form is stamped by customs.
Pls. do let me know.
With questions like these, it might make more sense if you ask a former immigrant from India.mahi2020 said:Hi,
1) can you pls elaborate on issues faced with foreign bank statement...coz due to short landing its not possible to convert currency.
2) can you pls gv 2 forwarding services pls.
Thanks
Problem? None. You are not a provincial nominee with the attendant restrictions that come with it.Dedicated said:Just a quick question, guys.
In my CoPR it says Toronto as a city of destination (as I chose it). I am not a provincial nominee. Can I soft land as a PR in Calgary (provide an address in Calgary for PR, SIN, bank account), leave Canada, and then after few months come back directly to Toronto?
May it pose any problem at the PoE (the fact that I do my landing in Calgary instead of Toronto)?
Thanks for reassurance!russellx said:Problem? None. You are not a provincial nominee with the attendant restrictions that come with it.
You are free to land it Calgary without any issues.
U can even choose to land in Montreal and fly from there to Calgary :-* :-*

I think it needs a bit correction, as he is not Provincial applicant he doesn't have provincial restriction. However, one can not land in Quebec unless he/she has CSQ. So, land anywhere except Quebec.russellx said:Problem? None. You are not a provincial nominee with the attendant restrictions that come with it.

Thanks Rizmayo, appreciate the revert (sorry about the lag - haven't come back here in the past few days).rizmayo said:Sorry no. Canadian credit score is about your credit worthiness inside Canada, so your foreign credit score has no impact.
If you bank with HSBC or any other bank that ports your credit history, you will have the advantage of a good credit history on day one, but with them only.
