Hi Mitali,Could you elaborate on this point,why this date is important?

Hi mats,

One of the prerequisite to become a citizen depends on the TIME LIVED IN CANADA

" To become Canadian citizens, adults must have lived in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before applying. Children under the age of 18 do not need to meet this requirement."


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/become-eligibility.asp

Sometimes when there is a discrepancy regarding the number of days of physical presence in Canada, one has to prove that he/she was indeed present physically in Canada.

The BOARDING PASSES would help you and the Judge determine the actual dates. Also please NOTE that CANADA does not have any EXIT CONTROLS. So, when you actually leave Canada, there is no stamping in your Passport.

Saving the boarding passes seems to me the only way to determine the physical presence in Canada. Please also retain them in case you happen to leave Canada (for vacation) at any time before you apply for Citizenship.

Thanks mitali for the info.from the link I understand that my son who 16 now , cannot apply for citizenship since I am may not be completing 1095 days . I plan to join him in 2014 after I do the landing in July 2012.he will be studying there and lets say in 2014,when I join him he would be 18 but cannot apply since I am not a citizen neither am I applying along with him.
Why even in 2015 when completes 3 years or 1095 days still he cannot apply right,Mitali?

Dear Forum,

Is there any way one can lease an apartment from India in Toronto before landing?! As far as I know there isnt but please let me know if we can rent an apartment. Planning to fly on 8th April. Please share your valuable suggestions.

Thanks & Regards,

Pinakini.

I doubt it too. All you can do is, go through some posts/ads posted on some websites and contact the owners to rent the place. I am sure that you will find lot of sites to find a place to rent. Few such are..

kijiji . ca
craigslist . ca

P.S.: But, beware of providing any confidential info to any one whom you contact through these sites.

Thanks,
satya.

I can see many people are planning to Land soon...........here are some tips......I am sure you all know MOST of it.


1. You have to fill E677 form to report your Proof of funds.

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e677.pdf

2. Fill B4A form for goods to follow...make 2 copy .
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/b4a.pdf

3. Fill B4 form for goods to accompany...make 2 copy.
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/b4-eng.pdf

4. Take pics of jewellery and number them ( B/W would do) and include on B4 form with equivalent Cad Conversion. No receipts are required. Weighed all the gold and calculate with current gold value. They dont pay much attention. (2 copy).

** People who are in Canada and will eventually (if) go to their homecountry for visa stamping :

Please do take pics of the gold jewellery that you have here in Canada and attach them to the B4 forms.
You have to retain this copy whenever you travel (later), in case you are carrying a large amount of gold.

5. The immigration officer signs and dates the COPR paper after all procedures are completed. If there is a mistake on the COPR made by IO, for eg, wrong date as signed, then there is a wait period of approx 14 weeks to rectify it.....so PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK the doc when she/he hands you the doc back.

If you detect the error later you may do the amendment by filling up the below form:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1436B.PDF

This will however not prevent one from taking SIN number.

This date as signed on landing is of utmost importance as it will be the one that will be taken into consideration when you apply for Citizenship.

6. PLEASE RETAIN ALL YOUR BOARDING PASSES ...you may need them later as an additional proof for your landing date.


7. If you come through Montreal (Quebec), you HAVE TO DO LANDING here as this would be your POE even though your final destination is different. After you board domestic flight there is NO IMMIGRATION dept on arrival.

You have to take your luggage at Montreal, go to Customs, do Immigration (ie PR procedures) and release your luggage for onward journey.

8.. Please protect your photographs on COPR papers from being scratched as it might be a potential reason of rejection despite correct dimensions.

9. It is not necessary to have a ratio of 80:20 (Monetary instrument: cash)

10. Indian Bank statement works fine.....you just have to tell (audibly enough) the Immigration officer the required amount of POF....not a penny less. They dont care to check the statements ....but be safe and carry them (I know you would do ).

Add up all the money (in any form) and convert into Cad currency and say that amount when asked.

11. For members who wish to bring in their PETS
