    Is only reference letter enough???

    If your company exists on the internet, it helps a lot. Stamped documents also add to the authenticity. If your manager has a business card, make sure to include that as well.

    cash carrying limit

    Generally speaking, taxing only happens on income, so money you already own, will never be taxed. If that money starts gaining interest overseas, then you have to be honest and declare the interest in your tax return. Remember, as a PR resident, you have to pay taxes on your worldwide income...

    cash carrying limit

    That never happened with me though, so I don't think it's the standard. I declared more than $10k USD, and all they did was give me a receipt and nothing else. At Toronto Pearson, there's a customs declaration counter, right before you exit the luggage area where you have to go there yourself if...

    You can upload the document twice. No problems with that.

    Short landing - list of goods

    AFAIK, you have to apply for it outside of Canada. I think there are processing fees, yes.

    Short landing - list of goods

    No. You only need the PRTD to enter Canada if you don't have your PR card in your possession. So if someone is able to mail it or physically bring it to you, then no need to worry about the PRTD.

    Short landing - list of goods

    If you want to be fully honest like I did, you should write the number of days you're staying in Canada in the declaration card. No need to say anything else. The officer did notice the number of days in the card and asked me to apply for a PRTD to re-enter Canada. I first passed by the...

    Short landing - list of goods

    I was asked yes, although I'm not planning to ship anything major like furniture. They stamped both lists and gave me a receipt of the total worth of my items.

    Reference letter - PR

    What I would do is: - Mention the actual last day in the eAPR which results in 3 years and 9 months. (Should not affect your EE points, but do check your FSW points) - Submit any proof that you left the company 3 months before what's written. Payslips or bank statement showing last salary...

    Is 1-year Masters not counted

    It really depends. They didn't recognize my friend's masters and instead considered it as a 1 year diploma post graduation. Gives less points but definitely better than just a bachelor's.

    I am confused about the ranking in the EE Pool

    It's only when several people have a score that matches the cut-off, IRCC decides who to invite based on time spent waiting in the pool (aka oldest to newest.)

    permanent residential address vs actual address

    Doesn't hurt to list those addresses.

    Track your PR card timeline and processing times here

    My card was approved on the 49th day and it took less than a week to be shipped. No photo request. When I landed, my photo was exactly 6 months old. Hope that helps!

    work experience

    Nothing in the requirements mentions that your work has to be recent. As long as it's within the past 10 years, it should be ok.

    Hey guys, how long does it usually take for the card to be sent after it's been approved on the GCKey account?

    Travel History

    I would mention all trips if I were you. I don't think it's required, but I personally did and it worked out fine for me. So in this case, mention all the trips between A and B. Then add one field with no end date for Country C where you currently live. Then add fields from (Country C to A) and...
