LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

[xylene]

Dear all who already landed.....

Just few question regarding the travels to Canada. We are family of five 2 adults, 1 child and 2 infants. We will be travelling by Qatar airways to Calgary. I just want to know what is the weight person allowed, number of bags/suitcases/backpacks that is allowed per person. If it is mention on the airline website that two bags are allowed each of 23kgs, is it possible to take one bag of 30kgs and the other of 13kgs. Also are we allowed to carry goods in cartons as crockery/artifacts/paintings/decorative items and other utensils cannot be accommodated in suitcases?
We are thinking not to do a cargo and carry with us in check in luggage.

Thank you in advance

Please try to PM me with answers

1. Most airlines do not allow a heavier/oversized bag (as part of your ticket). this is because of two reasons one it won't fit in their compartments also difficult for their staff to load/unload it.
You may end up paying them for oversized baggage.
2. You can carry crockery etc, but then pack it well. Again with oversized baggage, you may be charged extra. You can call them and mention the dimensions and they could let you know the charges.

For some perspective a 42 inch TV would be checked in as your allowance, but a 47 inch TV would not be and they would charge for oversized baggage even though it is < 23kgs (from experience Emirates).

Guys,

I have a doubt is it must to complete the immigration formalities at the first port of entry in Canada ?

yes

Or can I do this at destination ?

Also baggage do I need to collect during change of airline or this will be taken care by them ?

You'll need to collect your baggage

Contact Qatar Airways and ask your questions. Regulations (and tolerance) vary from one airline to another.

Hello,

I am planning to land in Set alone and my family will join me later in the year. Thus I need clarification on some issues:

i. When I land I will submit good accompanying form and goods to follow forms. Does my family also have to provide another of these forms when landing?
ii. I know I will need to show POF when landing. Does my family have to also provide another POF when they land?

No, not if you include all goods on yours

ii. I know I will need to show POF when landing. Does my family have to also provide another POF when they land No, you as principal applicant will be required to show POF for your family

Only primary applicant has to show both. However every traveller has to declare what they are bringing to canada.

Hi, can you please inform me other than taking CAD 10,000 , do i also need to take with me, bank solvency certificate in PDF format mentioning FDR's and other funds, which have shown at the time of applying for PR ?

POF depends on the number of people immigrating. You would need to carry it as cash, DD, cashier's cheque or in your bank account(can be shown as a statement). This fund is for your own immediate use during the initial stay in Canada. With experience I can tell you that you would need this !
So make sure that it can be withdrawn easily while your stay here.

Hi xylene...

I will be going to Canada this year for Landing only to get my PR card and will come back to India within a month's time and will later (after an year or so) come back for good. In my case too I need to show proof of funds in liquid?

Thanks for your help

I will take CAD 10,000 cash. Isn't that enough ? I cant trasnfer money from my home account to overseas. My country wont allow it. In that case I can only show Bank Statement.
