Congrats on your landing.

Dear Guys,
So to God be the glory, we landing yesterday afternoon.
Departed Lagos with Klm with a transit in Amsterdam- flight time was about 6.3hours, 6hours transit in Amsterdam. Didn't seem long since we had to change our cash from euros to CAD( we applied for PTA at the bank but dollars failed due to demand so we went for Euros @227), had food and even went into town since we had a Schengen..
Flight to Calgary was a good 9hrs phew was a long one really..
We were given declaration forms prior to landing - we filled only one as a family and declared the money and goods to arrive on sheet.

Border police was very fast and direct us to the Immigration officers for landing formalities.. It took 3hours because of the amount of people landing from various programs and countries.
Interview process varied from person to person. The 2 guys ahead of us, one was denied entry due to unsatisfactory answer, the other due to the POF..
Once we got to the officer- he asked us some very basic questions, POF but only asked how much and didn't request to see it.
We had the B4 filled for our good we brought by air but he told us it was not needed that B4 was only for goods shipped separately which arrived earlier and to follow which will arrive later.. So it was a waste for us..
After that he stamped us attached our COPR to the passport told us it will 6-8 weeks to get the card.
welcome to Canada!
Today we are heading for the SIN, insurance, bank account and mobile phone then the hard part will come with searching for a job and apartment..

Will keep you guys posted as it goes..

Cheers and goodluck

I need clarification on the below mail from AVO:

Updated family information: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM8 application form. Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa.

Do I need to send the form when there has been no changes in my marital status or family configuration?

Congratulations cardiryh on your PPR, it has ended in praise. The form you are looking for is the IMM 0008- Generic Application Form for Canada.

Hello All,

I have been a silent member of this forum and have been following discussions here keenly.

I am pleased to announce i got my PPR notification around 3.03pm this afternoon. Please see my timeline below

Application Date 06/11/2014
PER 03/02/2015
MR 24/07/2015
PPR 03/03/2016

I am a little confused by the below statement

"Updated family information: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM8 application form. Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa."

I found 3 IMM8 forms in the list of forms i filled previously. Do I ignore this as my family has not changed since I submitted the form. Or do I fill them all and send to Accra.

Thank you

 

[Ed_b_good]

Just fill again and resubmit, make sure the info you are giving now tallies with the one you submitted earlier (except if you have kids and they have increased in height, then you can ammend this section).

Dear Senior ,

what should I do regarding the below please if my family configuration has not changed?

Updated family information: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM8 application form. Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa.

Thanks

 

[Ed_b_good]

She will have one given to her by CIC, just go to the clinic and they'll guide you on the procedure once you tell them that its for FSW.

Dear seniors. Please I need your help. I am about to go for medicals with my spouse. Please, I need to know: what information would I fill on my spouse's form for UCI and application number? Am I going to fill my UCI number on his own medical form?
