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

[tag4u]

Primary applicant need to show full POF when asked. So it is advised to carry full 18K with you. For your son and wife it will be not required as you have already landed by then with full POF.

Hi buddies,

I have finally booked a KLM ticket to Calgary on 3rd July 2015 from New Delhi. Initially going alone for couple of months to settle down, then followed by my wife and 5 months old son after few months.

Anyone else travelling like me looking for a company?

I also hve a question regarding pof :

Now that I m travlling alone, do I need to carry proof of funds required for single person (around CAD 11k) or do I need to carry pof of all 3 family members (around CAD 18k) even though I m going alone?

If I need to carry single person pof, how much do I need when my wife and son are coming?

Or if i need to carry whole pof of CAD 18k while going alone, do I need to arrange for it again when my wife n son are arriving after few months?

Would really appreciate clarity on pof as it's kind of difficult to arrange it multiple times.

Regards
asb

I am planning to complete landing formalities this month, driving from US to Canada. Is a Bank Statement & a letter showing POF in USD acceptable? Or does it have to be in CAD only?

Hi Guys

I am just looking at the options under Proof of residency to avail Ontario health insurance coverage.

Under List 1 and list 3 we can provide COPR and Passport but what about proof of residency.

As we will be staying at Uncles house so we are not able to find any relevant doc.

Please advise as my wife is pregnant and it is urgent to apply for it so that by 10 oct we get Health cover.

Regards
Abhishek

Hello frineds,

I am about to book my flight. However the flight reaches toronto at 7:30 in the evening.

Can the immigration formalities be completed at that time? Any other issues. Is the city too far from airport since I think it will be 10:00 PM by the time i am able to get out of airport.

Kindly advise

7：30 is fine. Besides the airport is within the city (Misissauga/ part of Greater Toronto) limits.

Dear Steaky,

Thanks for reply. Will the immigration counters be open at that time? Does anyone have any experience of landing at this time? Any other difficulties?

I completed my landing last week travelling from US to Canada. I took Bank statement/Balance statement from US bank. But no one asked me at the border.

Hello every one - We're planning to land in mid August this year. Those who have already landed, can you please share how much temporary medical insurance will cost per person for first three months. I reckon we will be expected to purchase our health insurance in the absence of our permanent medical coverage for first three months.

Cheers

Only the principal applicant is accountable for showing the full POF for his/her family members. Other accompanying family members can land either with the principal applicant or later after the principal applicant
- but in all cases they are not required to show funds.

So bottom line...as you are the PA, you need to show POF for your whole family members when you land.

Had traveled via Heathrow a week ago and I would say it is the busiest airports that I have seen. If your transit is through Terminal 5, your initial flight would land on either Gate B or Gate C. You would have to take a train from Gate B/C to Gate A to complete the security. This whole process of landing at the airport and going to Gate A security area would take about 15-20 minutes. The security check itself will take about 10 mins max. Make sure you won't carry(each) more than 100ml of liquids/cream/paste in your carry-on/hand-bags. So after about 30 mins of your landing security check would be done and you will be ready to go to your gate/terminal once your next flight information is displayed on the screen. Note that the gate info is posted only 90 mins before the flight. So you might have to wait at Gate A if you have lots of time for the next flight. Also lots of International flights start from Gate C, so my guess is you would have to again catch a train to Gate C when your flight info is displayed. (Again 15 mins max). Yes there will be a little walking to be done.

Yes it is the busiest airports as you said, but there are a few quiet spots where you can settle down with your infant and family (Gate A7 especially). If you have more than 2 hour layover at Heathrow I would definitely recommend it. Also there are ample elevators to use for the baby trolley. Do not use the escalators with the baby please. Let me know if you have more questions.

I would be travelling to toronto from delhi on 31st aug via British airways flight and will be transiting through heathrow terminal 5. we have only 1 hour and 40 mins transit time. can you please advice based on your experince how fast we need to be to catch the next flight. also, if you have travelled via british airways, how supposrtive is the airline during transit process at heathrow.

100 minutes is more than sufficient for you to complete the transit formalities. You'd land most probably on Gate C, don't waste any time watching maps/boards etc but go straight to the area where a train leaves for Gate A. As I said earlier, it would take max 15 minutes for you to reach the train and in 5 minutes you'd be in Gate A. On Gate A, you should be completing security checks which would take another 15 minutes. So in about 30-40 minutes you will be ready to go to your gate. Once you complete your security, check on the screens nearby where is your flight departing from.

Toronto flights is usually scheduled on gate B, so another train journey. Also this flight is usually delayed for about 15-20 minutes almost every day. So all in all you should be in the next flight gate in about 45 minutes after you land.
