Hi Qorax, SATDXB and all seniors,

Is it possible to get a travelers cheque from a bank without having an account in the same bank..

Hi Canhope, well i have never tried this before. But i think the bank wont issue any travelers chq or draft if you dont have an account with them.
Let Captain and other Seniors give their inputs.


Cheers..

Thnx for your reply SATDXB.
Is it ok to do it at this stage itself. As per him he sent the docs on sat. And the docs will be submitted in 3-4 days in Canada. Should I cancel the representation after he submits the docs. I have actually paid a good sum to him. Is there ANYWAY that I can know about the initial submission of docs at NS.

Hi, congrats for getting the visa.

I myself had landed in Canada via Heathrow. Nothing to declare here in Dubai or at Heathrow.
As you are two people travelling so if you carry more then $20K then only you have to declare it in the landing card ( the total amount is divided in number of people travelling). And if less then 20K, so nothing to declare.


All the best.


Cheers..

Thanks SATDXB. I just want to share an article that I just read prior to reading your reply to me. h**p://gulfnews.com/business/banking/travellers-required-to-declare-money-when-they-leave-uae-1.823791

It says there that starting Sept 1, 2011 all traveler are required to declare their money upon leaving Dubai. That is if they're carrying more than AED100k.

Just a follow up question regarding money declaration upon arrival to Canada. What type of proof I can carry with me to show and prove to Canada that the money I brought with me really came from my savings? I already closed all of my bank accounts here in Dubai so I'm not sure if can still ask for latest bank account.

Thanks again in advance.

Mike

Hello all,

How long does it take usually for the status to change after sending the medicals. And the tracking number I received by my medical provider confirms that the medicals was received by a person named Aziz. So I hope Mr Aziz works for CHC London.

This forum is like a family support, you always have someone to help you. Glad to have found this. Although I wont be able to always be there like Qorax, Biju, SatDXB, and other senior members, but will try my best to learn from our seniors.

Hi Alibhai, most of the cases the ECASE doesnt changes into "MEDICALS RECEIVED". Mine never changed. From "IN PROCESS" it was updated to "DECISION MADE" after the visa stamping.


Cheers...

Hi Mike, you can carry with you ur job contract copies, pay slips and bill copy of the exchange center where you will be converting your dirhams into CAD.

That will be more then enough.

Hi Qorax, SATDXB and all seniors,

Is it possible to get a travelers cheque from a bank without having an account in the same bank..

Most banks [which have this service] will issue u Travellers Cheques [no bank a/c is required]... it's after all a product of theirs [they make money on it]. The problem is: not many branches of banks handle foreign exchange -- so they might not have the TC facility. But, it's safe/wise to obtain them from the Exchange Houses... especially "Al-Rostamani Thomas Cook" ['coz each & every branch of theirs deal with TCs].

Qorax

Ps.: It's not so with Draft/s... if u don't have an a/c with them - most banks will not issue it to u.

They don't care [if it was from your savings]. All they desire is to see/check/ensure that it's obtained from legal means/sources & isn't a produce of Money Laundering. Thus, it'd be wise to carry the Exchange House's Receipts 'only'. It's then understood that the Exch.House had done its due diligence before issuing u the Forex, either in cash or draft/s.

Thanks to each and everyone...

There wouldn't be any problem... u r free to move out of the UAE. No papers/docs required. However, we have seen that a few [very few] r asked again to submit a fresh UAE PCC... if that occurs u might be in trouble... thus, ideally obtain a new PCC before u leave from there.
