For me, the immigration officer asked how much I had and I stated it. She didn't ask to look at or count the money. But I made sure I held the correct amount of POF for my family. I didn't want to hear story.

Thanks for the good wishes.

Barsindoo, set up up a date and come for ya peppersoup ;D 8)

Happy easter everyone.

Hello Jadwig,
just curious and wanted to find out if you are here or there your profile doesn't tell!!!!!

If you are there please can you tell us a bit about Calgary? some persons are yet to make up their mind on where to land and you could just help with pros and cons of Calgary.

Also are you Nigerian? African? or a friend of naija your profile name does not give you away at all lol

 

[tinuadeadebola]

Happy Easter celebration to you all may the blessings of this season remain with you all forever more amen.

April 10th will make it about 2years that my application got to CIC and we are still waiting!!!!! we have started seeing movement by way of MR to fellow prejune like me i hope it will go round soon so we all can join you in Canada.

Our dear seniors you guys have been very scarce on this thread eegrace you that write so much before now i wonder what has happened anyways we also know that you guys are pressed for time but kindly spare a few minutes for us as time permits.

gent2 how are you doing? i remember your warning the other time of how expensive canada can be and how POF runs out very fast that really made some of us to start saving more and spending less more tips from you on varied topics can do much.

All the best in your endevour.

[Jada]

It depends on you. You choose what you are comfortable with. I carried cash,doesn't mean you have to do same. Others have used other methods and entered Canada successfully.

Barsindoo
The info at personal level from you had been wonderful. I am only trying to spark a public one for the benefit of others.
Thanks

Babaiyabor, thank you for that info, highly appreciated.i have been told that i have to live in alberta for more than a year before i can qualify for such loan without been on a fulltime education. I really want to pursue my dream in canada but dont want to be financial stressed while studing . I also read on alis that they will do a credit check as well since i have not lived in canada,how will dat be possible. thks pls do keep in touch and dont stay off to long on this forum.greeting to a whole family.God bless u

Oh, sorry I did not take note you are not taking a full time study. For my own case, in Alberta, I did a full time 6 month study just 3 months after landing in Alberta. I received a full payments for tuition,books & allowance via National Student Loan & Alberta Student Loan.

About the credit check, you obviously do not have credit history in North America, they still carry out the whole procedure though. For my own case even after living in the UK almost all my life, my credit record did not reflect here in Canada and was not an advantage either. I applied for Mortgage then and failed (Because I have no Credit history), I had to pay 60% of the required money to get my house. There is no harm in trying it out, go through the credit check. As a Landed Immigrant you have many advantages here. good luck.
