Hi Everyone

I am planning to land in Canada in July from UK. Is it fine if I carry a UK Pound Draft as my proof of funds or does it have to be in Canadian dollars only. Please advise.

Thanks

Huzefa

Any particular reason why you want to hold the draft in £? I am assuming you will want to have access to (or at least some of) this fund immediately upon arrival in Canada. In that case, you are better of to have it in CAD$. You are guaranteed less hazel at the point of entry too. It also makes financial sense as you will be loosing money converting the £ draft to CAD$.

Don't depend on Ecas (it takes time to update), just wait for your passport with the visa. Cheers!!!!!!!!

Hi,
My ECAS showing Decesion Made. Inside and outside since Friday .

Passport send to CIC 3 Weeks ago .

But it still showing UK address ,

Do it need to change to Canada address before Visa stamping ?

Please reply .

I am in similar situation. Status changed to DM about 5 weeks ago (a few days after PPR). Initially only the outside summary shows DM, but since 2 weeks ago both inside and full details shows DM. Our address has been missing since January, it has not returned yet. I am not sure if this means that our visa is not yet issued. I know ecas can be unreliable. I am waiting till the end of the weeks to complete the stipulated 6 weeks time frame before sending a CSE.

Our local address changed to a Canadian address prior to the receipt of our PP back from LVO.

I think you should send then a CSE soon.LVO is set up to frustrate applicants and sometime sending CSE wake them up from slumber! We landed here on sunday and it has been a very positive experince.

CONGRATS DISCREET and LOUTH!

All the best for your future... both of you!

9J, i'm in a similar predicament as you, though not exactly as you... I've received PPR1, still waiting for PPR2 for 5 weeks now.

You can either write a letter , send e-mail or CSE. LVO cannot be contacted through telephone.
