Hi All,

I am preparing my B4 (GTA and GTF) documents.

Question - There are some good like laptop, Ipad etc which I will be taking with me during my short landing and will be mentioning under Goods To Accompany.I would be taking them back to my country and getting them again during my permanent move(second entry into Canada).

Please let me know if I need to mention these items in my Goods to Follow document too.

Thanks,
No need

HI,

Is the B4/B4A family specific or can each person can carry a B4 - specifically GTF?
Our plan is for the PA to land first, followed by family after a couple of months.

I was wondering if the B4 carried by PA needs to include all goods to follow?
Can the family carry another B4 with GTF?

I just got my COPR on Thursday and I soooo excited!! :p

I'm looking land in July/August and was wondering if anyone knew what is needed to rent an apartment?

I was wondering if there are any open lease apartments or short term apartments and where can I find them.

Any advice would be appreciated!

If you don't any specific cities, then check the housing forum for ads. They would tell you what you need.

yes you can open an account on your second day of landing. you will need to have at least 2 pieces of id - so your passport and copr will suffice.
you can give the bank your address and explain to them that you will be staying there for only 3 weeks. No issues with that.

I would be really grateful if sombody could answer me as this would dramatically affect how much money i would bring in on landing

thanks guys
