I have a question to everybody. Can anybody give me an idea that when someone 1st time leave BD for Canada with immigration VISA under category PNP with PR, how much CAD $ he can carry and also for spouse or child under 5 yrs old. i want to know the maximum amount individual family member can carry also with the limit of grand total.
Reason of confusion is that somebody informed me one can carry CAD $7000 max each and from other source i informed that one can carry CAD $9999 each.
According to Bangladesh Bank Circular regarding Foreign exchange rule published on Date: April 06 , 2014 (ref: FE Circular No: Release of foreign exchange for private travel abroad)
Attention of the Authorized Dealers is invited to paragraph 1(ii), chapter 12 of the Guidelines for Foreign Exchange Transactions-2009, Vol-1 read with FE Circular No. 24, dated December 02, 2009 and FE Circular No. 09, dated August 27, 2012 regarding annual travel entitlement of resident Bangladesh nationals for private travel abroad.
It has been decided to enhance this global private travel entitlement to US$ 12,000 per adult passenger during a calendar year, with upto US$ 5,000 or equivalent for travel to SAARC member countries and Myanmar and upto US$ 7,000 or equivalent for travel to other countries.
