Juner 2011,
I understand your point that immgiration authority needs to be convinced about my immigration, Visa is just not enough. But I dont know, what can i do about it? I dont think, I am left with much option/time for opening the account also with Scotia bank as I am starting on 16th November and my visa is expiring on 20th November (I will still try tomorrow).
Worst case, lets say, even if Immgritation authorities do not get convinced, what maximum can they do about it (for coming to Canada for such a short trip of 5 days, just to complete landing formalities and taking back POF/more than CAD 10,000 out of country to home country) ?? Are they not going to let me land/enter in Canada ?? Can they revoke/cancel my PR Visa ?? Or delay my PR Card processing ?? Or Ask me to pay tax for taking the money out of country (since it is more than CAD 10,000) ??
I feel that you should take your chance...still left with a good 7 days to board the flight !
In case you cant make it from home country...dont be disheartened, as you can get the scotia bank account even after landing there and as I said earlier, your bank account with some money left in it should suffice as a genuine proof of your good intention to return back in lets say 8-10 months
Trick - do 1 thing...for example you are a family of 3 , means you need CAD $ 17011 as POF...
1) take the amount as a D.D (full CAD $17011)
2) Land there and approach scotia bank to open your new comer account - google about scotia bank contacts and you will find...in case you need help with their contacts..let me know and I will post it here..
3) Deposit all your POF in your new canadian account
4) withdraw CAD$ 9999 a day prior to your flight back home
5) return home with CAD $ 9999 (no tax hassle, no informing immi authority hassle etc.) plus peace of mind that your money is safe back in CANADA !
6) And yes...do check with the bank people about minimum balance required and account un-operational if no transaction for some period of time (for this u can obtain internet banking details from the bank and buy some penny wise pound foolish items from the web time and again to maintain it as operational 8) )
BEST WISHES (even i will do a short landing like you once I get my visa and plan to do the same stuff- so pls do share your experience here with us)
Regards - BON VOYAGE !!!
