Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!
Toronto is marked as destination on my visa. Is it mandatory for me to land in toronto?
Secondly, is it mandatory to carry CAD 11824 or more, not less, at the time of landing? Would it be fine if i carry lesser amount like CAD 5000?
Regards,
Gaurav

1. Anyways you will be landing on Pearson Airport if landing at Ontario so Toronto is fine,
2. No not mandatory to bring $11824, it can be lesser than that as well or as you said less than $5000

If bringing over $10000 than you need to declare at immigration check and have to fill 1 extra form, its simple but that is an extra requirement.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!

Toronto is marked as destination on my visa. Is it mandatory for me to land in toronto?

Secondly, is it mandatory to carry CAD 11824 or more, not less, at the time of landing? Would it be fine if i carry lesser amount like CAD 5000?

Regards,
Gaurav

you can land anywhere but Qubec. Ehere ever you land, the PR cards are sent to an address in that province only. It is not mandatory to carry any money (but advisable) although you need to prove that you have CAD 11824 + readily available at your disposal in a Canada bank or with you in some liquid form (cash/travellers cheques/travel card).

hope that clears it.

Immunization Certificate to Collect

Any Family bringing their young ones here in Canada make sure to get the "immunization" certificate from your family doc or from the doc where your young ones are regularly visited. They can issue a certificate or letter on their letter head, mentioning that what type of vaccination and what date given to the baby/kid.

Its good if you can get one, before arriving to Canada which is a mandatory requirement from getting an admission in schools.

Hello All - Just want to share my experience after PPR email.

On March 31, 2015 I received the much coveted PPR email but to my dismay they wanted me to submit my passport to NDVO within 30 days. I had already booked my tickets to travel to India on May 3, reaching on May 5. So I emailed NDVO and asked if I could get the stamping done in New York but did not get any response for a week.

Then on April 7, I emailed NYVO and asked them if I could stamp the visa in NY and they responded within 3 HOURS!!!!! However, they told me that they got approval from NDVO to stamp the visa in NY but the average time to stamp and send passport back is 30 days and this could interfere with my travel plans to India. They told me that I have the option to submit it in NY or to submit it to NDVO after I reach India. Since my travel dates are not flexible I asked to submit the passport in India after I reach on May 5. However next day (April 9) I got a new PPR from NDVO to submit Passport within 30 days.

So now I have to submit the passport once I reach India on May 5th. I plan to travel to Bangalore same day and submit on May 5th or May 6th to VFS center in Bangalore.

Only thing I'm not sure about is if I can fly back to my home town if I don't have a passport as valid photo ID? Will the airport authorities allow me to fly using photocopy of my passport and valid USA driver's license. Any thoughts??

 

[alok4best]

Hello people,

Since my last post, I sent an email to Vienna VO asking them to confirm if they have got my file.
And to be honest, they are damn fast as I got an email reply today (just 1 day).
They have confirmed they have got my files on 7th April.

So dont be surprised if the files are routed to Vieanna for some of you as well.
Looks like Warsaw and Col are also full.

Cheers.

Thanks for the update. I am in a similar situation in UK. But awaiting PPR/DM for last 50 days. I have raised CSE on 7th-Apr informing them to send the PPR such that I can stamp visa in UK itself. But no reply till now. I will now wait for PPR and then will contact LVO directly.

Regarding your questing, if you are a Indian national, I think you don't necessarily require passport to fly within India. Any Indian id proof such as PAN / Driving license is sufficient.
