    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    I would recommend having liquid money with you when you come over. You would need this during the first few months to pay off your rent, utilities and groceries while you look for a job. I would recommend you to withdraw your PF and bring it over.

    LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

    I don't think you will have any problems with citizenship. Except that you are leaving a bad record with this employer, which might affect future employment opportunities (there is always background check). I think if some company is offering you arranged employment (very hard to get these days...

    Canadian Experience

    I think job offers are purely based on your experience and education. There are lots of jobs and almost every immigrant I know is finding jobs and settling down. Its always tough when you move to a new country, to adjust to the culture, people and language. I think its part of the journey...

    You can reenter Canada using COPR documents if you haven't received PR card yet if you are crossing the border in a personal car (can be rented as well).

I would say keep only 4000 or less as cash with you so that it's...

    Proof of 'Landing Funds" >>>

    Nope. The funds required by CIC should be available when the principal applicant at the time of entry(for self and dependents). With job offer, you wouldn't need to show POF, however its slightly more complicated : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp
