I wouldn't set such unrealistic wage expectations for Canada mate. Average wage in Canada is around 54.000CAD /a year.

In order to make 100.000 CAD yearly, your hourly rate should be at least 52 CAD. No one earns that money unless you're in a senior management position in a big corporation, or you're a brain surgeon, or a senior computer "engineer" who has remarkable coding skills.

True. But, just wanted to tell him that one can save more if they earn more. In US, when one gets married, the taxes go down to 4%-6%. I guess its not the same case in Canada. @stirredo If you are still planning on marrying an Indian girl, make sure she is ready to work. It should compensate the low salary.

I didn't say he would be in serious trouble if he travels after receiving the PR card. I said "You might get in serious trouble if you tell the immigration officer at the border that you'll return to your home country after getting your PR card." Even at the time of landing, you're still not a PR, and immigration officers have every right to send you back to your home country if they're not satisfied with your intentions, your available funds etc.

Therefore, I advised him to not to disclose his temporary intentions at the time of landing. One must have a permanent intention to reside in Canada at the time of landing.

Again, I disagree a bit. There are many instances where officer could make out that applicants are landing only to activate PR. The only thing that can be a bit of issue is that officer wont raise a pr card.
Obviously no applicant would tell the intentions upfront. Also never heard that anyone was denied entry to Canada based on intentions to not to settle permanently.

Hi, I renewed my passport while my PR file is in processing. What all should you send to IRCC via webform? Do I need to send all the stamped pages of the old passport again with the new passport's first and last page?
Thanks!

Send the pages of the passport that has your information. If you have any visa stamps, do send that as well.

1. PR Cards used to come to Canadian addresses two weeks after the landing, but that changed after the pandemic. The current waiting time for PR Cards is 96 days. Ideally, you need to wait for it while in Canada and leave Canada after getting it. You may leave Canada without waiting for the card and ask someone to send it to you via a courier service, but this is neither legal nor safe.
2. I'm not sure if there is a best city for Soft Landing. You can choose a city that offers direct flights to your home country for your convenience.
3. PR Card, Social Insurance Number, Provincial Health Card are must. Optionally, you may consider getting a phone number, a bank account, a Canadian driver's license while waiting.

However, I wouldn't recommend you to do a soft landing unless you have no other choice. It is costly, and there is no soft landing in Canadian immigration law. It is just an unofficial term used among immigrants. You might get in serious trouble if you tell the immigration officer at the border that you'll return to your home country after getting your PR card.

You'll have more than enough time on your visa to enter to Canada. Do a normal landing.

If I have to do normal landing, I wish to do it next year. I wish to do a certification before I move.

It felt stupid just a month ago to expect a PR in my hand, so I didn't plan ahead after waiting for close to 2 years.

I am thinking next February/March first week when my CoPR expires mid of April. Everyone is saying it's too late and you shouldn't risk it that close to expiry date due to Corona or what not.

Ugh so much confusion. The winter months are useless for landing if you don't know anyone there.

Its a lot bro. Indian rupee is decliing and it is expected to decline further. So we are able to send more money to India that what we would have saved working in India.

@stirredo Its good if you earn more than $100000 in Canada. Because you cannot save much in Canada if you earn less.

but why do anyone has to send money to somewhere when they live in canada?

I understand your confusion, man. It isn't easy to trust Canada after all the things that happened during the COVID times. I still recommend you to do a normal landing since it is a lot cheaper and safe. However, I don't know what I would do if I were in your shoes.
