Dear Qorax

What form of money we can carry to prove FUND over there
1) Traveler Cheque
2) FD Receipt
3) CAD
4) Others if any.

Please suggest I have FD with bank.

Qorax's posting in one of his thread:

If you are carrying more than C$10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:
• cash
• securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills) or
• negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bankers' drafts, cheques, travellers' cheques or money orders).

The best thing will be to get a draft drawn on Toronto Dominion Bank (i.e TD Bank). It is one of the famous banks of canada and they can credit the draft within 5 working days..best of luck.
PS: Dont carry more than 1500 CAD in cash.This amount is more than sufficient for about 2 weeks (considering an average spending for family of 3).

Malu what is your feedback based on internet search for Jobs

For IT good part is, it does not come under regulated category like other occupations and does not require any kind of certification to get a job. We can straight away fix interviews. I guess economy there is not bad and showing good sign of improvement. We can expect minimum 5-6 interview Calls in a month or more... Most of the jobs right now are contractual like for 6 months or less. Good thing about this is you can make good money in contracts jobs which will pay you hourly basis. but flip side is job security and Will always be on the toe to look for another one or to extend the current one.

what do you think? when is your plan to move?

As an immigrat u can carry 100 K USD from India MAx in a year w/o RBI approval for more than that u need RBI approval

If u carry more than 10K with u, u need to declare that at Canadian immigration
 
Dear All,

I have few queries.. although it is too early as my DM is not updated on eCAS.

1. How much cash (in USD terms) i/individual can carry and pass through customs from Indian emigration. Do we need to declare something while leaving. I have got info for opening bank account in scotia bank from India itself . But my query is specific for info required for carrying cash.

2. If we are having some jewelry to bring to Canada, can we declare at Canadian immigration by showing pics etc and can bring it later on 2nd visit to Canada, or it would be required to come on my 1st landing to Canada only. Secondly same as cash how much jewelry/gold can we carry before passing through Indian emigration and customs?

3. can anyone help me giving schedule of CIIP sessions for August and September month of this year.


Pls help me advising on above queries.. tks..

Thanks.
