Good morning Friends, I have an update. My landing process is done. Last night I landed in Toronto. Process is pretty much simple and straight forward. I am sure lot of people here have already shared their landing experience. So I ll try and make it short.
1. Just after landing, we ll be passing through a customs counter where we have to declare that we are carrying funds more than $10000 CAD. No other checking here. No checking for the money as well. I had it as travellers cheques for $11000 and $1000 in cash.
2. Next is the immigration counter. Once we tell them we are here for landing, they ll direct us to a different counter. The officer here will ask for our COPR form and our passport. He does his work there and after 5-10 mins of typing, told me the magical words "Welcome to Canada. As of today, you are a resident of Canada".
. He also told me my PR card will be coming in
3. Next is the customs officer. This is the person who ll check for our B4 forms for the goods accompanying and goods to follow. He was impressed by the paper work I had done with the forms. He just signed and sealed all of them and did not ask to open my box.
Thats it. I was given one more welcome kit and shown my way into Toronto. My uncle was waiting outside to pick me. Now I am at his place enjoying the weekend !!!
Last but not least, A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE.. I am not going to mention any names, everyone of you here has been helping me in one or the other way. My best wishes to everyone to get into Canada soon. Please feel free to post your queries. I would try my best to give you the answers. Thanks again! Have a good weekend!
