I have read on forum that at airport they will ask for photographs for PR card, if this is correct please tell me how many photoes should I bring with me when landing and also what are the specifications ?

please confirm this, I have heard from few sources that photographs are only required for Inland applications applying for PR card and not FSW ppl ( outland ) .

no photos are required when you land

you already provided them with photos before the visa and copr was issued..the same photos will be used for your pr card.

since the original post is from 2010 does anyone have a recent experience landing from USA that they could share.

Dear friends,

Do you think I shall declare all my staff including quantity and prices in the "Goods Accompanying List" and "Goods To Follow" like it was mentioned by the topic starter? I think that it looks silly to mention how many socks I have with me and what is their price. Maybe I shall prepare a separate detailed list only for electronics and jewellery?

may be its a question that has been discussed many times, but as I am new.

do we need to carry (actual cash) or show proofs of funds at the time of entering Canada. if so, how much ? as much as we have given proofs at the time of apply. Or as much as we think that would be good for staying there.

thanks
Shiv

Hi everyone

I guess this is a similar question in relation to the last one

Can anyone let me know if current bank statements are still considered as sufficient proof of funds on landing?

The website was updated recently and bank statements were not explicitly mentioned. Only a reference of documents showing capital payable to you was listed with examples of shares, bonds etc given

you need to show that you have the required amount by CIC as per link below (depending on your family size)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

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).

ok, but on this page, the section says that "Bring as much money as you can to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier. "


You will need to show proof to the Canadian visa office in your home country that you have enough money when you apply to immigrate.


How much money should you bring?
It is a good idea to research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in Canada.

Bring as much money as you can to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier.

did I understand it wrong?

Thanks

The way i understand it is, don't limit the funds you bring to only the amount stated by CIC. That is only the minimum requirement. The website suggests if you can bring more, then do so.

Hey guys. I just got the PPR. I've got a few questions:

1. When do I pay the PR Card fee? Now, before I leave to Canada, or upon landing?

2. What goods do we have to list and photograph? Only valuable items (gold and silver jewelry, electronics, money) or everyday items (clothing, cheap costume jewelry, personal care items, pots and pans) as well?

I'm planning on bringing only the absolute essentials. Since I'm going to travel to Canada in early spring, I'm going to bring lost of light clothing (of low value, no designer clothes), shoes, jewelry (valuable), personal care items, some electronics etc. My family is going to send me winter clothing like coats and boots. Do I need to list those items that are going to be sent by post as "goods to follow"?

Dear All,

Need your urgent guidance.

I'll be landing in Toronto with my family during June first week. Just wanted to know a couple of things from you.

1. I am planning to book with Etihad Airways. My question is, does the airlines ask you to show a return ticket as well when you are traveling on a "Immigration Visa" (the one we got stamped in our passports.) Somebody was telling me that I have to present a return ticket before boarding the flight because the airlines think that in case I am denied entry in Canada then the airlines has to bear the cost of my return. So they insist on a return ticket as well.

Did anyone faced a similar situation during boarding or after landing.

I will not be doing a short landing, but will stay there. No plans of returning. So in this case, are the "Immigrantion Visas" that we have on our passports, enough or do I need to book a return ticket also just to show the airlines guys, which can be cancelled after reaching Canada.

2. Second thing is, the visas that we have got and the CORP are enough for our travel or do we need to get these Visas authenticated or stamped or anything else that probably is needed before travel. Also as per the documents I guess we need to carry the following:

a. Visas/on Passports
b. CORP
c. Children Immunization Chart
d. Proff of fund (In cash and Traveller's check)
e. List of accompanying goods ( Is there any form for this? If yes then where do I get this form from or this list can just be a hand written one?)

Will be grateful if you could assist me on these two queries.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Saibal Banerjee
