Thanks Quorax,

Good news, we will be going to landing trip soon, in october, to Toronto.
We are planning to visit the states, either by car or by air,
and this will happen within 4-12 days from entering canada.

1. Will it be possible?
2. Will we be able to enter canada back from the states while we don't have still our PR cards?
3. and with which paper?
4. will our landing visa be still valid or it's for a single entry?

please advise,
thanks,
xony
1. Yes, why not? But if u aren't from a visa exempt country - u'd require a visa to enter the US.
2. Yes, but only 'by road' in a pvt carrier.
3. If by road - then ur COPR & pps suffice. Else [for other modes of travel], ur PR cards r a must.
4. The PR visa is 'single-entry'... gets void when u perform ur 'landing'.

Hello everyone, I have a question... Is it okay if I bring 1 rim of cigarettes in my check-in luggage? I am planning to bring 1 with me but I don't know if I need to declare it (List of Accompanying goods). Or is it okay if I don't declare it at all? Would there be a problem?

Thank you so much for the advice.. :)
200 cigs (one carton) can be brought-in duty free. Excess of which is chargeable. U'd need to declare that in the 'disembarkation form'.

Hi qorax,
Thank you so much for doing this efforts which is a big help for thousands of people. Hats off , who would do this for free?

I wanted to ask about if it is ok to bring prescribed medicines but like 3 months old prescribition medicines?

I think there is no health insurance for 3months, so I was thinking to bring few medicines from my home country for the safe side which I already got a prescribition for earlier.
Me and my family should be landing by nov 2012 and we are looking for an apartment to rent in a range of 2000 CD. Do you recommend any site to check for specific area to look for, we r a family of 4 including a child and a baby?

I think it will be better to ask someone to send it to you by courrier from canada once it is ready,

Hi all!! Pls advise how long can we stay outside Canada after landing?
After receiving the visa we plan to just land for 1 month and come back to Dubai and settle for good maybe after a year or two.
