Hi, despite all what is written, still I have some clarifications needed:

Landing at the airport:
- Will I be asked for a phone number to be contacted?

Goods/Shipments:
As for goods carried and to be carried at later stage:
- I am going in regular suit case wit regular trip stuff (clothing, Camera, ipad, etc...). Do I have to fill a form for it?

SIN/Health cards:
- Do I needed a mailing address for the same. Can I apply the next day after I arrive using the COPR paper?

Driving/License:
- Can I drive using my UAE license at least in the first 2 months?
- Can I apply for driving license before I get my PR/SIN card?

Funds/Money/Cash:
- Can I open a bank account before I get all the above done? (PR card, SIN, health, etc...)?
- How much minimum cash I have to bring with me as proof of funds? I am not intending to carry more than 5000 CAD for safety reasons. The rest will be on my visa.
- At home I have 2 accounts (Saving and current). If I got a bank statement from my bank before I landed, will these amounts considered tax free when I transfer them (after I open a bank account in Canada)? Do I have time limits for the same?
- I have made an investment here in UAE for the period of 2 years. If I got a copy of the money transfer to this company (which is dated March 2012), will this be considered as declaration so that later on, this money will be considered as tax free money?

General:
- Can I access US after I get my PR?
- Is it true that all furnished apartments in Canada takes money fully in advance? (I was told this is the normal procedure).
Thanks :-*

Thanks!
