Re: MY LANDING EXPERIENCE AND OBSERVATIONS - Settlement Funds You can carry as much as cash you want. Just that you need to declare it if it is more than 10k CAD. Yes you need to have sufficient funds. It is mandatory, not optional. You cannot carry indian rupees. Either convert it into CAD or...

There is no validity mentioned in the abstract that I got...

Yes you can only activate the account after you visit the branch in Canada. You can use the fund transfer receipt or ask your HSBC personal banker to send an email confirming the transfer. I used the email when I landed.

I wouldn't recommend Indian Bank account. They are looking to see that the money is readily available in Canada. I wouldn't risk entry and residency for the loss of exchange.

No, that shouldn't matter.

Nope, for applying health, SIN, and other cards your family members have to be available physically in Canada.

I would recommend converting it into USD or CAD. One the Immigration official wouldn't want to convert and try to figure out if the value in CAD is equivalent to the required amount. Two, the official might not know the banks and might question the validity of the statement. However if you...

You should look for courses in colleges/universities. I would recommend Humber college, University of Toronto or Seneca. The courses information are available on the respective websites. Choose the ones that you would prefer. Java and .Net are in demand.

If you are in the process of applying for the visa, i would say hold on till you get through. Most employers prefer permanent residents/citizens. However if your current employer is ready to get you a work visa that would be the first step.

Yes, just separate your items into high value (electronics, gold, etc) and clothes and then put approx value in CAD. You do not need to mention each and every item.

1) Bring all certificates incase you need it in future to update your passport at the Indian consulate or for other visa purposes etc(like US visa interview), however you may not need it in Canada once you land since only the landing paper and passport is required for health card application/...

Yes it is.

Well, you need to have the POF required in your bank account. However if you have an offer letter please go through this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/proof-of-funds-requirements-explained-t45043.0.html you might be eligible to land with a POF, but I would...

True that. Do not expect US salaries in Canada. Canadian companies pay about 60-80k for BA entry level!

I would recommend Randstad or Modis who are top consultants in Toronto. You could reach out to them. The best way is to add consultants working in Randstad through linkedin and then reach out to them directly.

With your experience, it should be easy to find a job once you land. Having said it is a competitive job market so if you have certifications like CBAP it would certainly help. Since it would a rush to find a job and settling down once you land, I would suggest get the CBAP before landing. There...

wow next 5 years huh? Currently the job market is doing well. So by the time you complete your PG, you might want to get into skills that would be in demand 2 years from now. Try to get into a course with co-op so that you would have an opportunity to work with companies during your course...

The idea of POF is to have the liquid cash available for your sustenance during your first few months in Canada. I would strongly recommend you take it along with you as traveller's cheque or prepaid card (in CAD) or open an account with a Canadian bank from your home country(this is possible...

You would need RCMP only if you have spent time in Canada (as a student/work visa). If you have been in India all your life, you would just need the PCC which you can get from the passport office.
