Usually they do not ask but if they do, bank statements should be sufficient. Travelers checks would be fine. I don't think you need a DD for your first arrival. Remember, all your documents have already been reviewed and you have been granted the immigrant visa. So, no formal requirements other...

Got it. Thanks. So since my status in the US has changed (even though I have a valid visa), I can travel to Canada and return with the AVR correct? Also, is there a limit to how many times you can do it? Say, I want to travel to Canada a few times in the next six months or so until I get H1-B...

Hello, I am new to the ARV process. I am in the US and I have a valid F1 Visa and I just got my status changed from F1-OPT to H1B. How does the ARV apply to me and what are my options to travel outside the country? I know I can always get an H1-B stamped from Canada or ideally my home country...

Which courier service is safe to have the PR card mailed to Karachi?

Hello, do you mind sharing which courier service your friends/relatives used to send you the PR card from Canada (if you ended up using that option)? I am in the same boat and wondering if it is safe to have it mailed outside Canada? Thanks much!

So regardless of whether or not you want to sponsor your partner, if you get married before landing, you cannot use that visa and CoPR for landing. You have to inform CIC about the change of your status and wait for their instructions before attempting to land. The first thing they will ask you...

Never heard about such request from CIC. Everybody submits the B&W. I did, it worked and I’m a PR!

No, they will give you a form to fill. They also provide you additional sheet should you need it.

Thank you! You are not required to but I would keep anything and everything. You never know what they ask for. Its the immigration right so you have to be prepared to answer their questions and provide any and all evidence. For me, they confirmed by profession, briefly looked at my employment...

Thank you. I landed at Lansdowne 1000 Island Bridge crossing today. I've been here for about 10 months and yes they only verbally asked for funds. Here is my timeline and experience if you're curious...

Hello. Thank you for your recommendation. I plan on flag poling through there. I do not have a US visa. I am keeping my bank statements just in case. Any other advice? It looks like its 24/7 Immigration services. I plan to go early 'weekday' morning though.

Thank you!

Great. I assume just the bank statements should be enough, it doesn't have to be in a proof-of-funds format as required in the eAPR?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am considering the Lansdowne Thousand Island Bridge. I am assuming I just show up at the POE right? I called them and they said they have 24/7 immigration services. The lady didn't specifically know flag-poling though. I read somewhere that proof of funds...

Good to know, thanks. I am considering the Lansdowne Thousand Island Bridge.

Bad choice, but I guess it shouldn't matter too much. They have all your information anyway. Do not worry!

So, inland folks - what are your plans for flag-polling after getting your passports?
