Hi Nkalra,

What I have observed from my friends and colleagues who already migrated to Canada some 2 to 4 years ago, they advised me not to take DD in US$ as it will take more time to get encashed like saeed bhai and you are aware it will take roughly 40 to 50 days. Instead you should take DD in CAD so that it will be cleared in 3 to 5 days. Moreover you need to keep some enough cash handy in order to meet daily expenses until your DD gets encashed.

On a separate note, you can carry cash as well. You just need to declare the amount at the time of customs, and you are good. The limit in Pakistan and India to carry US$ 5000/person and US$ 3000/person respectively is the amount which does not require to be declared. Having said that, in case you are carrying more, than you have to declare.

Good that you brought this topic on table.

Need more suggestions and experiences by senior members, PR holders and Citizens

Thanks Saeed Bhai,

I thought of taking US$ DD but as you said it takes time, so better take it from bank.

Not even Al Rostmani, I have checked all of the exchanges the have stopped issuing CAD$ DD since past 1 year or so.

 

[outstandinguy]

Thank you all for your kind greets.

ATB and wish to have an accelerated processing on your apps.

 

[outstandinguy]

InshAllah! will keep your suggestion in mind.

Thanks,

I submitted my passport on 4th June (Wednesday).

Today on 13th June, (Friday), nine days later, my ECAS status is still "Medical results have been received". Still not changed to "Decision Made".

So submit your passports as soon as possible. Riyadh appears to be taking its own sweet time as well.

Hello,

Thanks a lot Outstandinguy. I am aware of this .

The intent was to have the DD from Exchange vs Banks to get better rates, any how that is solved now as I have checked they have stopped issuing it now.

The only option as excepted POF are:-

1. Cash if taking more than 10k CAD$ just needs to declare at airport, they may check some of the currency notes.
2. DD or TC we can take 1st time en number amount of money, as after that there would be taxes even you bring 1 'loonie' in town.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. If you are carrying considerably large amount of money better take DD or open the account and transfer the money into that like Scotia bank does and the A/C will be operated once you land in Canada and have SIN number.
4. Other option is that we can do bank A/C transfer unless you have account since we will be going for first time we will not be having that.
