OMG! I just noticed, the passport number on my visa is incorrect insted of 6 they put it (S). Guys, does CEM allow me to go there and ask or inform them to change?

HELLLPPP!!

I would email them immediately and say urgent if your travel plans are soon,,, just another blunder by CEM

No more cartwheels this time.

rouxedan,

thanks buddy, that is good to know. although a guy landed from Dubai had a problem with his jewelry declaration, he was asked to come back the next day with the form and photos of the items to the Customs. I do not know if it is related to how many and how much but, also as Tagum said his wife did not have a problem with it. although it made sense not to put amount for clothes and simple things, which I will follow your example. thanks

A friend of mine coming from Middle east did this form and went through without a problem, better for me to be prepared coz I only have few hours inbetween the connecting flight (Toronto-Edmonton)

4hrs???? wahhhh most guys landing in Toronto had better experience then

 

[goldenkagi]

FOUR HOURS!!! Woah Tagum, that sounds soooo bad!! My worst immigration wait was in LAX a few years ago. It was something like an hour because all the flights came in at the same time. And I thought that was bad.
