LANDING EXPERIENCE


Hello Folks!

I am back from Canada. It has been quite a while since my last post. I was busy with some travel and the Canada landing. Here is my landing experience.


I landed in Canada on 26 August 2014. I was already in UK for a trip, so I took a flight from London to Toronto. The flight was via Montreal. My destination in Canada as per my application was Calgary.

I landed in Montreal and was done with my immigration /landing formalities in a short while. The wait in the queue took an hour ..the immigration formalities itself took 15 minutes. I had nothing with me, just a small bag and no funds , no list of items to follow.

Immi Officer: How much funds are you carrying funds with you?
Me: Zero. Only cards.

Immi Officer: Okay. So how much money do you have at your disposal to be transferred to canada for your settlement?
Me: 30,000 CAD

Immi: Any goods to declare?
Me: Nothing.

Immi: ( Looking at my bag) Is that all you luggage ?
Me : Yes.

Immi: Any goods to follow?
Me: May be some items. My wife will landed later so she will get them

Immi: Address in Canada?
Me: ( my sisters address)

And that was it. He gave me the welcome to canada look and the book
Next day I rented a car and went to Service Ontario office. Got my SIN in 5 minutes. Checked a few banks for accounts,CC, etc.
Stayed in Canada for 7 days as a tourist. And returned. My sister will send me the PR card by post later.


If anybody has any queries regarding landing, feel free to drop me a line.

Good luck to all.

Regards

congratulations on safe landing Mahyn. Let us know more about canada.

One physical test, X-ray, Urine, Blood test (HIV & VDRL) for Adult and only physical test for child. Nothing to worry it's straight forward as long as your last UAE visa medical is ok.

Congrats bro.. Thanks for sharing your experience.

One question, you are an FSW applicant and you have landed in Montreal (you landing/immigration was completed at Montreal)?
I had the impression that you cannot land in Quebec province if you are FSW applicant.

What happens when you land and you dont have a local address. I mean is it a requirement to have a local address?

I had the impression that you cannot land in Quebec province if you are FSW applicant.

FSW Applicant can land in Montreal - Quebec and complete their landing formalities but must have onwards ticket to other province.

But if a FSW Applicant want to work and settle in Quebec then he must first land in Non-Quebec province ( say Toronto-Ontario), complete the landing formalities and then shortly afterwards catch flight direct to Quebec province for settlement.

Hi. It is a requirement to have a local address so that your PR card can be mailed to that address in Canada. There is no problem if at the time of landing u don't have a permanent address in Canada (if u booked a hotel) but u must ensure u update cic with a permanent address once u settle in.
