I landed for 1 day in June as it was really just to activate the visa. We had the forms completed and highlighted high value items (phones and iPad) which we had with is at the time of landing and listed quite a few things on the goods to follow form. However the immigration officer said it was...

I landed in Canada for a day to activate my PR visa and completed b4 form and additional form for goods after I land but as I was not staying in Canada for good on that occasion the cbsa officer said it was not required and only required once I am planning to stay in Canada for good

So long as you have the evaluated report of your certificates (something you would have needed to have done as part of your CIC application for immigration) then it should be accepted

My wife and I landed in Canada for one day last week. We landed at 10am and took the return flight at 11pm. The CIC officer was very nice and went through our landing documents. We were not asked to provide any proof of funds although we had full statements with us. We will receive our PR...

Always be honest. If you have a masters then say you have a masters. Show them your certificates as well as the WES evaluation if you wish. If you want, you can always get your masters re-evaluated separately once you are in Canada

E landed in St. John's for a day. Immigration forms were completed and they did not want to see our goods forms and said that this was only needed once we were looking to: 1 - stay in Canada for good 2 - even though we were only in Canada for the day if any items we had with us at the time were...

I used an attorney so recall them saying that the PR card will last 5 years and within these 5 years I had to complete a three year period of stay within Canada in order to then be able to claim for nationality or I'd have to renew the PR card.

Great. I will also list the number of days (for me it will be 1 as I am simply landing and then will return next year for good)

You can use your downloaded statements. But best to also get the bank to confirm (in writing) the account details and how much you have in there. You can do the latter by asking them to either send you a letter in the post of get them to write this out at the bank and print it on letter headed...

Would be v interested to know the answer to the last question too....

This is the link CIC sent me for the goods to declare. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf186a.pdf Am I missing another form or can this same form be used for goods accompanying and goods to bring in later? This form lets you complete items and print plus it allows...

On the b4 goods form, what is entered in the document Number field? Is it my passport number or CIC application number?

You will not need to declare he cash. Ideally you should have bank statements with you to show that you have enough money in your bank account (doesn't need to be a Canadian account can be a genuine bank account statement, just like you provided when you applied)

Thanks. But as I mentioned we silent be taking anything until later in the year once we go for good. Out main purpose next week is to land and activate the PR as we are both quite busy prior to the visa expiry date hence why just going to trigger it. Will have to put a number on boxes as a...

Machiavelli, quick question for you mate. Did you complete the Goods to declare when arriving and when bringing later form? How did you list clothing items and footware etc? Did you group clothing items like: clothing items cost $xxx dollars? Would be interested to know

We are landing at St. John's next week. Will only be there for a day before coming back to settle all things etc and plan to go for good by the end of 2017. Good luck matey

Can anyone confirm if the link to the form is correct as I was sent a goods list (for arrival and fo bring later) link by CIC which was different to the one listed. I'll try and copy the link to he forum

So far I have just stayed: Personal Belongings - Clothing and placed a Dollar value to them. I would not know how many boxes it would take to get them in. Do you suggest I place a number of boxes on the form?

I think the new express entry works much faster. We submitted in Jan 16 and got PR issued in May 16. Had to send uk passport into the CIC office with some passport sized pics (they ask you to use some visa service, it's a scam for more money to be taken I think). Got passports back with PR...

Just to confirm that CIc never called mine or my wife's employers. PR visa was issued last month.
