Guys @muspal @husnainramay @Sicilian @ambee I am flying to Canada this week. Had a few imp questions to ask. Please reply
1. Do I need a PCR Test or is vaccination certificate from Nadra suffice?
2. Do I need anything to clear immigration at Pakistan? Any document or clearance? I am asking because they refuse to let you board flight if you are going out on a work permit without clearance from employment department in Pakistan. Does anything similar if you are going out of the country on immigrant visa?
3. Is there any restriction on taking personal gold jewelry from Pakistan. I am based in Karachi
4. when taking a cardboard box as a piece of baggage what size box is allowed. (turkish airline)

Please answer as many questions as you guys can

Please answer as many questions as you guys can
1. No need for PCR as long as you're fully vaccinated with approved vaccines unless required by your airline. I assume you already know that you have to use ArriveCan app.
2. No don't need anything. Rest it is Pakistan if they want to cause hassle for you they can.
3. Same as point 2.
4. No idea, you should ask airline to be sure.

Also, how much did your ticket cost you?

Your queries have been answered by @muspal. Just for your second question, are you planning a soft landing? and do you have an ordinary passport, with nothing mentioned as profession?

Same question. Cost of your ticket please @nemo123?

Its already done and I already landed in Canada on 23rd July, they directly stamed immigrant stamp on my passport and given me landing paper ,only they called me at that time and requested to send 2 picture via tcs . So after that within 2 days I got my passport back mean VFS hold my passport almost 21 days and than release with PR not workpermit
