1. Does she need to carry 21000 CAD(must for family of 4 person as pof) to show off at immigration even if traveling alone? - Yes she does
2. Does her presence in Canada is must to receive PR card or PR card will be deliver at address given to immigration counter? -Will be delivered to the address, sometimes there are photo specs. issues, and the photos needs to be sent again, if for some reason she does not get the PR cards she will need to get a Traveling document to enter Canada again
3. Does it affect anything if my friend and his children will travel later? - they will have to travel before the visas expire, otherwise no issues
4. what should be reply of his wife in response to immigration officer if he ask about non accompany family members? - she can tell the truth and that they will land on a later date (but before expiration of visas of course)

You're welcome, since the visa deadlines for them are tight, id advise them to go as soon as possible, i.e. Jan perhaps

One more question to edmonton settelers.. Will Gsm samsung galaxy S3 will work in edmonton??. I bought from Malaysia but its working in Pakistan without unlocking.. :(
Hi klmy,

there is a chance that it won't work here because of different frequencies.
My S2 was not compatible, so I'm not using it here. But it also depends on the provider you are going to use, so you'll also have to check with them...
You can check if your specific model is compatable with Canadian frequencies here:
