Dear members,I have successfully received the PR visa under the FSW 2014 category and the COPR this April. I have certain queries pertaining to the Landing and so. I have enlisted the questions here and would like to receive replies from senior members which would really be helpful for me.

1. The visa is valid for 1 year till the date of medicals. So, does that mean I can land at any time I wish,or should I land at the earliest. If the former is possible,am I supposed to produce any reasons for the delay in landing?

2.POF: Do I have to produce the POF as Demand Draft? I am from India and should I obtain a DD from an international bank or any available banks? We have HSBC and ICICI banks here.

3.And,can I en-cash the DD immediately on landing or should I possess the DD for a while? And do I have to keep the fund in my Canadian account for further verification if any? ( Will be inquired about my funds in future? )

4. And, is it better to get a Laptop from India or is it advisable to buy one at Canada, and so the mobile phones.

5.Regarding the goods we take. I don't have any major items to carry from India,except the text books and a mobile I posses. SO, should I have to mention the books in the form B4 and B4A?

6. Regarding the PR card, I went through the PR application card,do we have have to pay any fee for the PR card? And,our time of 5 years starts since the time of Landing or from the time of visa issuance? ::)

Kindly clarify my doubts, I may ask few in further also. Please bear with my doubts if they are kind of silly,as I am very anxious about the landing part. Thanks in advance. ;D
 
You can land anytime before the expiry of PR entry visa. First PR card will come automatically, no need to apply. You need to give Canadian address for PR card delivery while landing. PR is valid up to 5 years from landing. Generally you can bring any items from India except food items. You need to stay in Canada 2 out 5 years to retain your PR status. Yes bring your laptop and mobile, it will be helpful for search for jobs initially.
