Immigrating to Canada: Arriving

When you arrive in Canada, you will be greeted by an officer from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

The officer will ask to see your passport and other travel documents. Make sure they are not packed in your luggage, and that you have them with you. This will help speed up your entry to Canada.

You must present the following documents upon your arrival:

Your valid passport and/or travel documents. Your passport must be a regular, private passport. You cannot immigrate to Canada with a diplomatic, government service or public affairs passport.
Your valid permanent resident visa, and your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). The officer will make sure you are entering Canada before or on the expiry date shown on your permanent resident visa. Please note that this document cannot be extended, therefore you should make sure to use it before it expires.
Proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family after you arrive in Canada.
The officer will ask you a few questions to confirm that you still meet the requirements to immigrate to Canada. They will be similar to the ones you answered on your application for permanent residence. This should only take a few minutes.

You will not be allowed into Canada if you give false or incomplete information, or if you do not satisfy the officer that you meet the requirements for entry into Canada.

If there are no problems at the point of entry, the officer will authorize you to enter Canada as a permanent resident. The officer will also confirm your Canadian mailing address. Your permanent resident card will be mailed to you at this address.

Disclosure of funds

If you arrive in Canada with more than C$10,000, you must disclose this information to the CBSA officer. If you do not disclose this information, you could be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

cash
securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills) or
negotiable instruments in bearer form, such as bankers' drafts, cheques, traveller's cheques or money orders.
What you can bring into Canada

Before travelling to Canada, see the CBSA website to find out what you can and cannot bring into Canada with you.

Applicants who would prefer to bring their passports to the High Commission of Canada in Singapore in person may submit them Monday to Thursday at 0830 Hrs. They will be ready for collection after three (3) business days.

Now my question is if I submit my passport in SGVO on October 15 (for example), when should I receive it? Highly appreciate if you please response, especially those who already gone to Singapore and collected in person.

Thanks in advance!

smiling_face :)

smiling_face...if you submit on 15th you shall get back by 18th. That's what other forum members told those who went to Singapore.

No. For the First Time you should take as much as possible to get them tax free and they will not take anything from you for this. So don't loose this chance.

You have to declare if you have more than c $ 10k, that's it, nothing would be worried and all are tax free for the first time (at the port of entry). But if you don't declare penalty and imprisonment may impose on you.

Dear forum members,

I am really in tensed that I have not got my PPR although I have completed my medical on 07.07.12 and sent others docs like RPRF and PCC on 08.08.12.
From this forum I have known that already many applicants have got their PPR even after sending their docs of my dated.
Would u pls share which date they (visa office) will count to send PPR ?
Thanks to all...
