Hello guys

I recently got my Canadian PR and I am planning to land there by February 2016. I am by myself (no family members). Can anyone help me out with the minimum amount of money i must carry when I land so as to clear the immigration check at the airport?

I am a a production engineer. Can anyone suggest which state/city would be appropriate as far as relative jobs are concerned?

Thanks

The following were required of me:

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.
PASSPORTS. Check that:
There is an individual passport for each family member accompanying you to Canada. Children must have their own passports.
Each passport is valid for at least 6 months from the time you come for the visa.
Each passport has sufficient free pages (two required for our visa, plus pages for any transit visa)
TWO (2) PHOTOS FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER These photographs must be taken with a WHITE BACKGROUND, not be stapled, glued or pinned (you can paperclip or attach them using an envelope). The photographs must be unblemished as they will be used to produce your Permanent Resident Card once you are in Canada. Photograph specifications are included with this letter.

Please, which form is IMM8? is it the generic application form?


yes its the generic form that needs to be validated

Where is my shell @ Deebruv? AVO really need to answer you before tuesday the 4th, August 2015.
Come and join me in praising the LORD for I have seen his goodness, Join me in praising BABA, I have seen his goodness (sing it a million times if you love me).
As I was disturbing myself about my ecas second line not being updated with "Medicals received", I called the attendance (Oluremi) at Qlife to enquire if something went wrong with our(me n moi wifey) Medical tests, but she didn't pick up at three attempts. That made me to be further disturbed.
I had to leave site work (Engineer Iguana!!!) to take some refreshment at the canteen and on getting back, RA has fired/shot me request for submission of our PASSPORTS......................
Na me happy pass for work today.
Make una no rely solely on the ecas of a thing.
Lemme go check if it has changed self! The thing never change but they made mention of something I told them at the clinic in the mail sent and that confirms it was actually received.
It will surely end in praise.

You can carry any amount you wish, but above$10,000 you have to declare it. You can just go with little cash and carry your ATM card as it will work in canada. You can also print your statement of account but I doubt if they will ask.

Hearty Congratulations! Do search for IMM8 for cic site
I had done that before coming here to clarify. The site didn't help that much because it mixes IMM8 with IMM0008. Azeezbaba has done justice to it anyways. Thank you TKT.
