Have the sponsor contact CPC Missisauga where the documents were submitted. Educational document attestation is only good for if you want to further your studies and the educational institution wants to verify your past educational background.

what is csba form?

CBSA Declaration card is provied to every passenger who is coming from abroad to Canada while they are on the flight, they ask you to fill it before you land to save time. in those declaration card(forms) they want to know how much money and goods you are bringing to
Canada and if you are planning to use it domestically or you want to sell it (obvi not, but they want you to sign that card to bind you in a contract so you wouldn't sell anything)

Hope this answers your question.

Yes, everyone needs to fill this out.
You can have multiple people on the same form who live at the same address.
Its simply a declaration of goods and monetary value you are bringing into the country.
If you are over the limit then you would have to pay a duty tax.
However, for a PR first time entering the country the immigration officer will give you an exemption.
This is not a contract. You can sell whatever goods you want here.
(i.e. If I ask Zameer to bring me an amazing Sherwani, he can sell it to me - no problem. But he does need to declare the value of this good.)
As a Canadian resident that travels frequently I have had to fill this card out several times.

yes we can sell but ur not suppose to tell immigration that u will sell things....and we have to fill this type of form when traveling to any country..

but as 1st time landing on pr u should make proper list of good to carry and good to follow.. specially jewelry in order to avoid paying tax in furture

yes you can, but only take it if is very important to take that mithai as a first time traveler , you should not carry something that they might question about. but if you feel comfortable taking it then you should.

Enter your home address in Canada

Enter your travel details: Flight#, etc.

etc.
-------------
total $xxx dollars

Date left Canada
For the Pakistan applicant, they would leave this blank
Enter the $xxx dollars you are bringing with you

The question: Do you or any person listed above exceed the exemptions per person.
I am expecting your goods will be over $800, so in that case select yes
but do add a note: PR arriving to Canada

Enter the $xxx dollars you have calculated for each person's goods.

For each person that has their name listed on the form, they will need to sign their name in the corresponding field number.

Enter today's date on the form.

When form is complete you will detach the instructions on the left side and discard into the garbage.

Do not fold the declaration card.
