Thanks Qorax! what if it reaches to Canada before us?

Thanks!

qorax said:
Yes.
Else it'd attract customs duty... that's quite heavy!
 
qorax said:
No issues... take that 'stamped' B4 to collect the package.

oK thanks! sorry one more question pls coz we are planning to get door to door service.
So my friend will receive our stuffs before we even reach canada. Are they going to pay tax on that?

The goods will be lodged in a 'customs Bonded Warehouse' from where the 'clearing agent' will have to fetch it. Most likely your shippers will contact your friend to either accompany them to the customs for clearing it, or ask him to pay-up [the duties].

In that eventuality... he could just await for your arrival & then get the stuff collected, vide the stamped B4. Or pay-up, which is claimable later... but after some real inconveniences.

Your call, buddy.

You can also opt to do the clearance yourself with stamped B4 at the customs office. Depending on your situation, you might need to pay up duties or not paying anything. After clearance, the shipping company will arrange with you the delivery of your goods.
 
i was reading below article from the vistor guide to canada......does this mean that if someone get married after the tourist visa is obtained, then they have a risk of getting refused to enter canada on visitor visa?? should they then hide the information of marital status to be on the safer side?

Arrival in
Canada
A valid Temporary Resident Visa is not a guarantee of entry into Canada.
An officer at the port of entry will decide if you still meet the requirements
for admission when you arrive.
If there has been a change in circumstances between the date of your
application for a visa and your arrival in Canada, or if subsequent
information is given which was not originally available to the visa office,
you may be refused entry.

1. They'd change the address alright - but your VO wouldn't change... especially@this stage.
2. There could be some additional delay.
3. How do u propose to submit the pps from India [to London]?

hey guys,

Are we supposed to fill up all the details in the PR APPLICATION FORM?

Qorax wrote (in an excellent post!):
PR CARDS (PRC):
Your PR Card application (IMM 5444E) shall be done at the POE itself. It is part of the PR package [free] and the photos & details will be the same as you supplied for the PPR. Our PR Card/s come back to us via regular post mail, in 3-6 weeks, avg. 4 weeks.


But I landed 10 weeks ago, and no PR card has arrived. Maybe the postal strike made a difference, but other mail is now getting through. What is my next step?

Also I've moved apartments now*. Do I need to inform The Authorities?

Cheers
Womble

* the address I gave on landing - and where I stayed for the first few weeks - is my brother-in-law's, so there's no question of mail not being forwarded...

[FYI I called CIC, and they said it had been sent, but has probably been delayed by the postal strike. I should call back in 3 weeks if still not arrived...]
