POF depends on the number of people immigrating. You would need to carry it as cash, DD, cashier's cheque or in your bank account(can be shown as a statement). This fund is for your own immediate use during the initial stay in Canada. With experience I can tell you that you would need this ! So...

Only primary applicant has to show both. However every traveller has to declare what they are bringing to canada.

1. Most airlines do not allow a heavier/oversized bag (as part of your ticket). this is because of two reasons one it won't fit in their compartments also difficult for their staff to load/unload it. You may end up paying them for oversized baggage. 2. You can carry crockery etc, but then pack...

If you want to travel within few weeks after landing and then come back in few weeks, I would say either wait till you get your PR card (you can ask your friend or relative to ship it to you) or you have to apply for a travel document. Or better just make a permanent landing ! :) You can check...

There are multiple options already explained by other members in this forum. 1. If you belong to a visa extempt country, you can enter with just your passport 2. You can fly to US (again if you have a US visa) and then drive through the borders. If you are not on a commercial vehicle (bus...

passport, visa, landing document, Proof of funds, B4 form if you have goods to follow (by customs).

It is ok as long as the money you have in your bank account can be easily withdrawn. Also you need an equivalent of 17000$ in your account or as cash.

Simple answer No. Consider it from the officer's shoes. A new immigrant comes over applies for DL, has a different DOB on his DL to his passport. You should get it corrected.

The B4 form is when you have goods to follow. You do need it if you are bringing in goods at a later stage, else you will have to pay customs duty for importing.

It is a landlord choice. Some landlords would not rent out 1 bed if you are a family of 3 (even if kid is a baby! ).

The school age is based on age before 31st Dec of the same year. So if the kid turns 7 by 31st Dec 2015, he/she will begin in Grade 2 on Sep 1st 2015. So in your case he will be grade 2 from Sep 1st even though he will be only 6...

If I were you, I would look at job portals to see what is in demand. Like workopolis, monster etc. This would give me a good idea on what employers are looking for. Further I would try to network with testing professionals on linkedin and seek their opinion. Probably there would be fewer testing...

you just need to apply at the passport office. You will get it in one day.

For basements landlords usually do not ask for any documentation. You would just need to pay first and last month. For apartments however they do credit checks and would need to show pay slips etc. I think you could look for a house/ single owner condo and suggest paying 6 months advance if...

1. No 2. No. You have to go to the neatest service Ontario to get it. If you are flying then you can get it at Pearson airport.

Well to my knowledge when you enter Canada with your PR papers you have completed your settlement. I don't think Customs treat short landing (it is a term created by us) any different to permanent landing. Additionally declaring gold etc purchased outside of Canada is a mandate for everyone...

I am sad to hear that folks have had bad experiences..I moved to Canada from India last year. I can list down my experiences 1. Racism ? Personally I have not faced any harassment or differential treatment at work/travel/interactions/street/shops. Infact I got two job offers where the managers...

This is good to know ! Thanks.. So for new-comers wouldn't be eligible. You need to be in Canada for 5 years !

1) Yes 2) I think you can fill the goods to follow so that when you land permanently you wont be charged duty on the products. For example if you show that you are bringing in 25k CAD worth of gold later, next time you land you can just show the good to follow list (which customs will stamp...

I believe most of jobs which require security clearance are only for citizens and not for permanent residents. Would ask others who has experience to comment on this.
