hi,
i would be moving to canada in mid march. i need a few clarifications regarding the border security.
1. Funds: I learnt that we need to convince the border security officer that we have sufficient funds before we enter canada. are we required to present a new bank certificate (other than the one we submitted at eAPR stage) or provide bank statements? I am just not sure what it implies to 'convince' the officer that we hav sufficient funds? What proofs may be required now?
Get an update of your POF. The old one won't work if you are asked to prove you have the funds unless you have the I'm hard cash. However, do not stress as this is hardly ever asked for. You just want to be prepares in case the ask. I wasn't even asked if I had any money at all.
2. Health Documentation: It says on the government website that 'bring official documents that state what vaccinations you and your family have already had.' my query is that do I hav to get a medical certificate for my 2year daughter mentioning the vaccinations she has had? also, what official documents do I have to provide for myself and my spouse for vaccinations?
Your medicals are fine for immigration. However, you will need proof of your baby's vaccinations for future reference (family doctor and schools)
3. Driver's Licence: is it necessary to bring my driver's licence?
Yes. Also get a confirmation of this licence from the government before you come. It will help you skip many stages of the driving graduation process.
is there a chance we might be rejected during the interview stage with border security ?
Yes, if you are dodgy. However, I have never heard of anyone who has been sent back at a port of entry.
Do not worry.
pl guide.
thanks
