Hi all,
I have a scheduled holiday trip to the US in July and now that I have also received a PPR and submitted my passport for visa, I plan to make an entry into Canada during this trip. I this regard, I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on the following questions or share their own experience:
1. I plan to travel by road and cross the border through Buffalo.
(i) Can I rent a car in USA and take it to Canada and return it on my way back to US?
(ii) If yes, will I be able to do it on my UAE license (it's already in English and I have used it before to drive across in US)
2. Do I need to share the entire plan, especially that I will be there for just a few days and will be visiting the province that has nominated me (Saskatchewan), for a few days, with the border authorities in Canada?
2. In terms of Proof of Funds, I'll have to take a combination of cash and draft along with me to the US for further presentation in Canada. However, since I plan to make a quick trip to Canada, I will also have to bring the same amount back. But the issue is that if you visit USA while carrying money over USD 10,000, you have to declare it. As such declaration is not an issue but I will have to declare it 4 times, i.e. first while entering into USA, second time while exiting USA for Canada, third time while reentering USA and the fourth time when leaving USA after I finish my holiday trip.
3. I plan to reach Toronto first but then also visit SK for a few days and follow the "first things to do" list while I am there. Is there anything special that I need to plan or be aware of?
4. As for the PR card, I'm not sure if I'll get it within the few days I will be there for so is there a way to get it delivered to a friend or close relative and then later, they bring it for me?
Thanks in advance!
, Hold on to your hats.......PPR rain is upon us.
