Hi folks, been off the forum for a while now; busy getting ready for the move. We (self, wife and 2 kids) landed in Calgary on the evening of 10th June 2016 at about 8:30. We spent some time in the queue for immigration. Went up to the counter and told the guy there we were new immigrants here...

Your PR card may be valid, but they may check for your PR obligation compliance when you enter the country. If you haven't met the requirements, there is a possibility that they may not allow you to enter. As for the reasons being good enough, it is left to the discretion of the immigration...

I think all items on the goods-to-follow list must be brought in within one year of the first landing. Any later than that and you will have to pay duty.

May be a long wait. I'm also NOC 2131. However I'm planning to land in Calgary and then move to Toronto. I've heard that the economy isn't that bad there.

If you are currently in the US, why don't you just drive across the border and be in Canada when your wife arrives? If you are driving a private car (either your own or rented) across the US-Canada border, you don't need a PRTD. Just your COPR will do.

If your eyes are actually black, don't worry about it. If it makes you feel better, get yourself photographed again.

Carry a printout of the PPR email, along with passports, and another form of ID (say Aadhar card). If you want SMS and email service to keep you updated on the processing, there is an extra charge, so carry some cash with you. I would advise you to take the option. It's a very simple process...

Yes, provided you can back your claim with evidence such as work orders or contract agreements with clients, or other supporting documents like letters from clients certifying that they had engaged your services. These letters should be on the clients' letterheads, showing their full address and...

Abhishek, Whatever Asish said is correct. Except, it is not normally advisable to send PR cards by post/ courier. If you don't have someone who can send you your PR card/s, you will have to get a PRTD or a permanent resident travel document, from the Canadian consulate in your country of...

Dip, When is your planned travel date? Where are you planning to land? I am planning to leave on June 10th, landing in Calgary initially.

1. Your spouse and kid have separate visas and COPRs. So yes, they have to land too before their visas expire to become landed immigrants. Also, they will get separate PR cards in their own right. If they don't do the landing now, and let the visa expire, it may be a problem later on to reapply...

You don't need a transit visa if you have just a layover in the US. You only need a visa if you plan to stay in the US for a few days. If your baggage is checked through and your flights are booked through to Vancouver, it is still considered as part of the international flight, with Toronto...

Hi folks, I just got my Canadian PR. I am 38 years old (almost) and have a 15 year gap in my education. I would like to use the opportunity I've got now to study for a masters degree. However, an educational consultant in India told me that Canadian universities don't admit students who have...

There is no limit on how much funds you take into Canada, but there is a limit on how much foreign exchange you can take out of India (imposed by the Indian government). I think it is about 25000 USD per year per person, which is about 32000 CAD. You should be OK.

The only ones who can answer your query is CIC itself. Why dont you raise CSE and ask them? What have you got to lose? Worst case, they say no, you will have to reschedule your plans a little. I do know one thing, they normally don't take more than 10 days to send your passport back with the...

Sir, No offence intended, but please avoid typing everything in capitals. It is the text equivalent of shouting. Thanks.

You need two spend two of the next five years after landing in Canada, to keep your PR status current. Doing a short landing and going back after 2 years is possible. It's even possible to go back after three years, but not advisable, as you'd have to spend the next two years in Canada without...

How did you arrive at a score of 438 without a definitive IELTS score yet?

Well, when you put it that way, just leaving the house every morning, anywhere in the world, is a gamble. Just about the only sure thing in life is death.

It has to be an inbound international flight. Local flight passengers don't go through customs and immigration.
