Dear Friends
I would like to share my landing experience. Our Journey begun on Sunday 26th June at 8:00 pm. We took Gulf Air from Manama to Abu Dhabi International Airport arrived at 10:00 pm and then the KLM at 1:30 AM to Amsterdam arrived on 27th June at 7 AM, Netherland timing and then KLM departed at 9:20 AM (Netherland timing) arrived Toronto at 11:20 AM (Toronto timing). Everything went smoothly, we met the officer who check our papers, passports, visas and then directed us towards the immigration office for short interview that took may be less than 10 minutes, the officer signed our papers took our address in Toronto and told us that in 2 months, we will receive our PR cards. Then he took us in person to another unit where they gave us many forms including social, health...etc. and general information for new settler. Then we moved to customs, the officer made short interview lasted for 5 minutes. The officer stamped our list of goods form without checking our bags. I told her I want to declare money, she asked me how much do you possess, I told her the figure and she divided that by the number of the landed family members and she told me since per person is less than 10000, you needn't to declare anything and she wished me good luck and I was out of the airport may be in less than 35 minutes.

Thanks ameer for sharing. We will also be landing two weeks from now and information like this helps me a lot. I also found this info site interesting because of the trivial things I learn for Canada Immigration <- Here

i am a newbie to this forum. used to be based in dubai.

i have a question regarding police clearance certificates. i remember reading about it somewhere but i need to clarify.

when applying for citizenship, will they require a new set of PCCs?

hi qorax!

thank you very much for your very prompt reply to my question re pcc's when applying for citizenship.

i have another question please. i've read all the posts here. i've searched other posts as well. but there's little information i could get about china pcc. i know a lot of people are finding it very difficult to get china pcc just like me. very complicated.

you see, we lived in 2 places in china. in 1 of the 2 places, we were able to get a pcc. but not in the other. the police said they cannot issue a letter saying they cannot give us a pcc. so we are stuck. we have no proof that we could not get a pcc from that region. i will not elaborate further as it is quite a long story.

would you happen to know of anyone who has a similar experience as ours? we applied through a consultant in dubai. their advise is to just send the pcc we got from 1 region, don't mention anything about the other pcc and let chc-london evaluate it. but i am afraid that chc-london might reject our case outright for failing to submit the other pcc and not give us a chance to explain why we could not get.

what do you think? any advise for us please?

Really? This has been repeated many a times on these forums...
PCCs r country specific -- not regional, province, state, city specific. Just one PCC from the country suffices... u don't require many from different provinces.

Say u r from Quizon, but have also resided in Zamboanga, Mindanao, Cebu etc. If u could get a PCC from any of them [including/or one from Manila - even if u haven't resided there] -- that 'one' PCC would suffice for CIC purposes.

Dear all;

Can any one advice about studying in Canada (Master's degree)? How to get into a Canadian university with low GPA?

Thanks,
 
wow qorax! you are really one amazing source of information. you are even familiar with the places in the philippines.

i agree the pcc is country-specific. but that's not quite the case in china. the certificate they issued specifically mentions that i am cleared of any criminal record in that city only, not the region/province, much less the country. like if i have record in another province, they wouldn't know about it.

i am worried that if the VO reviews carefully the pcc against my personal history, he/she might find out that i've lived in 2 places in china but the pcc is issued from 1 place only. on that basis, our application might be rejected. you think this can happen? would they carefully scrutinize each document?

we are at the final stage and it would really hurt if we fail at this point.

if it's to wait for ppr or visa only, i wouldn't mind the waiting time. but to wait for news if they might reject our application on the basis of a missing pcc is really agonizing.

but we are keeping the faith...
