hey pips, please who has an idea of how much the e-passport renewal costs?

For the ePassport there is no renewal, it is actually a re-issue, as you will get a new passport with a new number, the cost is about the same as getting a new passport, I believe that should be in the range of 9k and upward depending on how fast you want it

Hi all,hope the weekend is going smoothly.Just a quick question on landing funds.Has anyone used travelers cheque or draft or anyother means of carrying funds(aside cards)instead of carrying cash.
If yes! How long does it take the cheque/ draft to clear?what are the charges involved just looking at safe means of carrying funds.

Please, I beseech thee, carry ya money.

You can PM PA MUFU, the BALOGUN GENERAL OF MISSISSAUGA, or me oh how to take your cash KULEEE

This is to to avoid the obnoxious clauses and phrases that can abnormally give you a high blood pressure with traveler's cheque and the like
If you intend going through Europe, have 100 Euros, for breakfast at the airport.
Once you land, you can have your US$ change to the Canadian Dollar. QED

I guess I read on the landed thread sometime ago that it takes about 1 month for the draft to clear. Someone on the general thread also advised that one can take some cash with them to meet the initial expenses and take the rest thru bank draft. I don't like the idea of carrying large cash though as it has it's own risk!!!
 
I think it depends on so many factors. Forex Draft should not take more than 10 business days to clear. Please, i will like to know if the statement of bank account can be used as proof of fund, so that I can do bank wire immediately my canadian bank account is active.

A friend who landed November 2012, went with USD Draft from Diamond bank and it cleared 2 days after he paid into his new account in Canada. Another person I know, funded his Naira account in GTB, printed the statement and went with his GT debit card, he didnt report any issue with landing.

My conclusion, each POE officers may respond differently to new immigrants, so better to go with the options as stated on CIC website quoted below


If you are carrying more than C$10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

cash
securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills) or
negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).
 
Happy New Week all,
Congratulations to all Newbies on board and to the Maldini household on the birth of the Twins and their MRs.
We expect more news of MRs & PPRs this week in Jesus name Amen.
