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
