Landing in Calgary?

[pelipeli]

HI, there, question please:

We are planning a direct flight from Philippines to Calgary for my hubby when he comes to land. I am sponsoring him. Reason for this is he will be bringing our dog with him and it is preferable to have a direct flight to avoid hassles of transferring our dog to connecting flights.

1. Will my hubby be able to go through his "landing" process in Calgary (like what is being done in Vancouver)?
2. Are there CIC and customs people there in Calgary?
3. Ive heard that new immigrants from non-North American countries should land only in Vancouver and Toronto. Is this true?

Thank you for your replies. ;D

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No - this isn't true.

The only thing left for you is finding a direct flight from the Philippines to Calgary, which I doubt there is. I am only aware of the only direct flight to any point in Canada from Manila is Philippine Airlines, which lands at Vancouver.

I assume you have already read up on importing dogs: http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/imp/petani/canine.shtml

I do not know if there are direct flights between the Philippines and Calgary but if not, he will do his landing procedure and dog import in the first Canadian city he lands in.
