Hi Gaurav
thats nt a problem, if you go to TD Bank, they will convert your money to CADs.

That is OK. But will they let me in with FD in hand. I am asking this because FD will mature next year and issued by Indian bank PNB so cannot be converted while being in Canada.

Ops I thought you are talking about DD, no FD will not be entertained here, you need to close your FD and then can bring money either in Cash or DD.

You can also bring some now and then when you will open a account, then you can remit money from India, but you better sign your remit forms before coming here..

Dear All,

I noticed somthing which is worrying me a bit, while checking mine and my wife's COPR today. Our names on COPR are written as the family names instead of given names. On PP as well as our initial application our names were written under the Given name. is this an issue to worry or its just a simple thing, anyone came across such thing.. pleae share ur views...

I do not think that should be an issue. One of my friends not in this forum had stayed in Australia for 1 month. He went there to validate his Aus PR. He is now in Newfoundland, Canada. He didn't face any issues.

How about statement of my bank account from which funds could be readily withdrawn and used? And do we have any any mandatory lower limit on the amount of money we should carry?

Congrats buddy!!..Just wanted to know what is G1 exam??

Hey Guys
Now I am in Canada, so thought of sharing my Landing Experience with all you guys.

New Delhi: BA Counter, Staff was sweet and helpful but don't forget that the Cabin bag should be according to the guidelines only. After 1 hour of waiting we boarded our flight to London, mind you it was a long long flight but because of the excitement, we didn't feel much tiredness.

From London we boarded our flight to the Country of Dreams and were super excited. As we landed @ Toronto Airport, we went in the queue for new comers, they checked our landing papers and Officer asked us to go to Immigration Department.

At that counter, Officer asked us about our Landing papers and where we will be staying, and then told us to be seated and in the mean while he will prepare all the documents for PR. After 10 mins he called us and stamped our COPRs. The next thing he said was the best I could hear “Welcome to Canada, you are now the permanent Residents of Canada”

Then we went to the next counter, a lady provided us with SIN Forms and other important documents regarding Canada, and told us that we have to apply for SIN Card at Service Ontario office as the Counter is closed at this time, it was 10:30 PM.

Then we went to the luggage belt, took our luggage and then went to customs, officer asked us about our papers i.e. goods to carry and goods to follow, stamped them and gave us back one copy each.

That's it, this was all done in 10 mins and we completed all the formalities which were required.
Hired a cab and went straight to our hotel, where Indian food and a warm welcome was given to us, we felt very pleased and happy.

Next Day, went to Service Ontario office for SIN Registration, then on the very same day, went to TD bank as I compared Scotia n TB, but TD is better as TD also provide you with New Comer Credit Card, so you can start making your credit score right from first day.

Next Day, went to Service Ontario, for health Cards and Photo IDs, and also cleared my Written Exam for G1.

All you need is to be prepared with your plan and documents, rest everything is very very easy....

You Can carry something around 10K per person, but if you dont want to carry that much then you should carry atleast your expenses for initial 3 months

Congrats Mate.

Just would like to know if it is OK to have accomodation for just 2 days in Canada and have return ticket after 2 days.

I will be travelling from India and have my friend collect PR card.

Do they check the return ticket and question on that during landing?

Thanks

Dont ever do that brother, If you say like this then they will not provide or process your PR>

 

[toletik]

Thx for your wishes
Don't scare me after the long and frustrating wait my friend

I want the probability be 100% for receiving MR/PCC and then the PR; as I have all the proof to submit whatever the scrutiny.

With the prayers and wishes of all the diamond hearted forumites and god bless, I know PR will happen sooner.


Best regards,
Kishcanada


Kishcanada, all the best with your process. Looking at your reply, I can see you will soon land in Canada.
