No forms needed in advance for provincial healthcare card, nor POF.

B4, B4a:

Hi guys, do we need to carry photos for the pr card at landing?

Dear friends,
Is the following is the only one form for "goods accompanying")(B4) and "good to follow"(B4A). If yes i don't see a field differentiating where it is B4 or B4A, how can we differentiate them.

Hi Friends:
I m planning to land in canada on 11th Sep'15. My question is ragarding POF. Can I show my property papers as proof of available funds because as per CIC official website These funds could be in the form of:

•cash
•documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.) or
•documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).

Hi,

At the time of landing, the immigration officer told us that she has made an online request for our PR cards. She refused to collect the pre-filled forms we were carrying to make the PR Card application. Has anyone else gone through the same experience while landing?

Please let me know...

Hi guys, do we need to carry photos for the pr card at landing?

I was carrying the PR Card application as well as photos... However, the immigration officer said that they were not needed and that she had applied for our PR Cards online...

I had to retain the forms with us but now I am worried if I should still go ahead and submit them ..

Hi seniors

Can anyone plz tell me, in B4 form there is a box for importer's address . which address it should be ? Home country address or canadian address?

Hi GariKam,

Quick question because you didn't have friends or family in Vancouver, did you have a permanent address organised prior to landing? If you didn't what was the process for your PR card without a permanent address for it to be sent to?

Hi guys

I immigrated to BC last year and with no friends or family here settlement has been a success story in building. I love the place and at each step as we are growing I look back and see how we had to sometimes struggle for small things... There are so many things here that even the settlement agencies won't tell you.. Like the rental assistance program, Canada benefit finder and so much more.. so as a class project (I am studying to be a corporate trainer/instructor here), I created an interactive infographic where I have put most of the programs that the government has to offer and a lot of other information. it is: dr garima kamboj dot wix dot com slash immigrant

(No space anywhere)

When my immigration application was in-process, this forum was a lot of help to me and I want to give it back t the people here. Hence, I want to share it with you guys... I hope some of you find it beneficial, Thank you and all the best.

Friends,

Can anyone plz let me know if there is certain validity requirement for international passport for visa stamping?

Do we have any CIC rules like " International passport should remain valid at least for 6 or 12 months after the date when immigration visa expires"?

If yes, does that rule refer to infant dependent?

Thanks,

Hi Every One,

I will be going for a short landing in Edmonton Canada along with my family in Oct 2015.. I will come back after 20 days and my family will stay there. I will rejoin them after few months.

I have few questions to get clarifications for;

1) Our PR visa is stamped for 1 year (as usual) but once we land in Canada, will they stamp a new visa valid for 5 years or they will only issue PR card and cancel the actual stamped visa? As I will be returning back to Dubai via Amsterdam and we can get transit visa exempted only if we have a valid Canadian PR visa not PR card. Also some other countries require Canadian PR visa not PR card for such exemptions? How can we work around this?

2) What are the documents required to apply for Alberta health card? I was told that proof of residence is one of the document required which can be utility bill or bank statement sent to our address. But we need the health card immediately because my wife is pregnant. We will be living with my brother in Edmonton and won't have any utility bills under our name. How can we get around this requirement and also while opening the bank account proof of residence will be required.

3) What are the documents required to open a bank account?

4) Best company to get 3 days rent a car in Toronto Canada.


Looking forward for a positive update. Thank you
