My Landing Experience, Part-3
After completing the immigration/landing formalities we went to collect our luggage. We found our baggage were already on the conveyor belt. One of the forum members gave me a two dollar coin that became very useful. You need two dollars to collect a trolley at the airport. After collecting the luggage, we were waiting for a cartoon and asked a porter about it. He showed us a C sign and said you can collect the cartoon from there. We took the cartoon and started to walk towards the exit route. A CBSA official saw our declaration card and directed us towards a door. Inside the room we found a long queue and it was not moving as one officer was spending a lot of time on one passenger. We found a lady officer spent around 10/15 minutes on a lady looked like of Chinese origin. We were praying to avoid the lady officer. But when our turn came the same lady officer became free to process our stuff. She took our declaration card and the goods accompanying list. She behaved completely different with us from what we saw earlier with the chinese lady. She started a good discussion with my daughter and spoke about her prospect in Canada as an architect. When she saw the good to follow list she asked us about the picture of the jewelry we just mentioned in the list. (One forum member mentioned in his post that when he showed the ornament picture the CBSA official reportedly told him that it was not necessary). Based on this comment I did not take any picture. The official then gave my daughter two pieces of papers, and asked her to write down the short description of the ornaments. We took a seat nearby and wrote down the description, and then came straight to the officer. She took our papers inside the office room, photocopied and stamped it and handed it over to us, and said you will not have any problem when you would bring ornaments in future. Though, we wanted to avoid her but we found her to be the most helpful officer we encountered in the whole airport. She did not ask us to open a single bag. If the cartoon were open, half of the food items might have been thrown away. At the end she even said sorry for taking so long as we were visibly tired after a long flight. We left the room after around 45 minutes with the documents given by the CBSA. My cousin and her husband were waiting outside. We loaded our luggage at their suv and headed for home. The documents we received from the airport we found 211 number was very useful to get information about the new immigrant.
