I'll look into it.

Don't want to go shopping for meds the next day and because they are cheaper in my home country.

They are fairly typical hypertension medication, flu/headache (over the counter) meds, and some eye drops. I will make sure to include a proper prescription for them.

Do I have to declare over-the-counter/prescription medication in BSF186 form? I'm landing for the first time as a PR.

Understood! Thanks for the help.

Understood! Thank you for the help. BTW, what about gift? Is there any limit to the gift I could bring?

It's packed fried and dried lentil and chickpea. Things like that.

Does that include snacks, too?

Thank you, this helps. Would I have to declare, say, [vegetarian] snacks, too if I'm bringing some to be consumed by me? Thanks.

Hi. I wanted to ask if I could buy gifts for my family in Canada on my first landing as a PR? Items I want to bring are clothes and snacks. If I do, do I have to explicitly mention it in my BSF186 form? TIA!

Not in Canada rn. Will be flying in a couple of months. Will definitely try it out. Otherwise, the safest option to update my number with the banks.

Thank you. That's what I was thinking too. Although it might take me some time. Meanwhile, would my sim card continue receiving texts while I'm there? I don't want to send out texts, just be able to receive them.

I am keeping some banking services in my home country. Some of them send out OTP codes to mobile phone via SMS to log in / making transactions. I was wondering if I would have to enable roaming services to continue receiving text messages or does it happen automatically? TIA!

Hi! I am nearing my PPR stage and I think it's appropriate to start thinking about ways to transfer my funds from Pakistan (mostly in PKR) to Canada when I travel. I wanted to seek help of other people (specially Pakistani's as we have a rather strict system here) to guide me through this...

O Ok thanks!

Okay great. Did WES not ask for degree? Which university did you select when filling the online form?

Glad you did. Could you please tell me if you needed to submit degrees from both universities? What was the process like?

Thank you for your reply. I'm adding more funds to my account that I presented as PoF. Do I have to notify IRCC of that I put more funds in due to currency fluctuation by submitting updated balance certificates and bank statements via web form? Or should I just put the funds in and wait...

What to do if funds in account drop below minimum required funds due to currency fluctuation? I'm in post-AOR stage.

Hi. I'm in the same situation. What happened to your case? Did IRCC ask for additional documents or did they consider exchange rate at the date of AOR? Please reply, thanks.
