Hi All,
Hope you all are doing great, I recently got my CPR- Category - SW1 so (Yaay!!) and they have given me almost a year to complete my initial landing before the visa expires. I am currently holding a job outside the country and would like continue with work for a year before I finally move to Canada and complete the criteria of 730 days within 5 years. This was just a short background, I had the following queries based on my current situation. Hope you can guide me in the right direction.
1) When I initially land in Canada do I need to show my entire funds considering I am only landing for now and will move back in a year or so ?.
2) Should I show the funds that I will be bringing with me later ? Or should I be showing all my funds on the first landing ?
3) Can I open a bank account as soon as I land , considering I only have the CPR form and passport during my short stay?
4) When I am submitting the Personal effects document (BSF-186/BSF-186A) what is the kind of detail they are looking for ?
(Example : Can I just mention "Books" with an estimated CAN dollar value ? OR should I also mention how many books and their specific names)
5) Am I bound to file taxes after I get my PR card? Considering I will be out of Canada for about a year or so ? If so how do I go about it ?
6) Considering I am not settling right away after I land and wont be eligible to apply for "public health insurance card" since I have to be in the country for 3 months or so , should I apply for "private health insurance" ?
7) I will be landing in Toronto but later have to catch a flight to Calgary, how much time do you think the interview process will take ? So that I can estimate and book my connecting ticket ?
Lastly are there any other pointers that I need to be aware of , which has helped you over the years settling in Canada ?
Thanks
