Alhamdulillah we got our stamped PPs back from Visa Office Riyadh along with CoPR. We were supposed to get them on thursday but collection time was over which is 4 to 5 pm. Really thankful to the forum member who really helped me a lots. I wouldn't have done it without seniors' help and guidance. Thanks again. I will be in touch as much as I can as I have to land in the first week of may, have to plan and do many things. If you guys have any suggestions, ideas, advises, experiences, Please share with me and guide me. I need to know a lots about first landing. Do thy take any interview on airport when I will land first time like question about my job, my immigration application......... etc?

Regards.

Allah Ka Shukar hai , I have finally landed in Toronto , last night.

I passed through all formalities / procedures that every one has complied , any how my immigration took some time , as immigration staff was concerned / confused about Two Valid Canadian Visas on my passport.

At first they were not able to find / locate my Immigrant Visa , and after that have taken an hour and a half to figure out why my passport has two visas . Immigration officer asked me why Business visa is valid , I responded , I have no authority to cancel my self any visa issued on my passport its better if he could contact department and seek clarifications on this , any how , after this with a big smile he completed all formalities with in 15 minutes or so , and permitted me to leave with a smile and welcome to Canada note , never asked about any funds etc.

At Customs , Goods to Follow list along with currency declaration form was required to be submitted / filled , and this was completed in 15 minutes , I beleive.

I dropped my luggage at my rented apartment , and am staying with my sister , in Cosburn area. Suffering from Flue / Throat infection , and fatigue due to travelling and unrest back home.

In Sha Allah will get my SIN , Telephone Connection and Bank Account tomorrow.


Stay Blessed

Mabroook Saeed Bhai... :)

This is why, you were out of touch for the last few weeks...

Congratulations brother
which bank have you chosen ?
I will not bring any goods , do I still have to fill the customs forms?
 
LVO asked me to submit new pics so I sent them and added my new passport copy and other few details . I opened a case specific inquiry on 17th that I have sent them and it must have reached you as per courier company. I got confirmation email of that query but I have not received any email or acknowledgement from this till date. Is this normal ?
