&&&---PAKISTANI APPLICANTS LANDING IN 2015---&&&

[canadamylove]

Dear Canadamylove and all others,

There is a question being asked to a few people, to show tickets at the time of landing. I am not able to understand that why are they asking for this and what action will they take, if someone has a return ticket in case and they are coming for a short landing, then what Immigration Officer will do?

If anyone in this forum, has observed this thing or came to know from someone in their contacts who have faced such scenario?

I am keen to know what immigration officers will do if someone is coming for a short landing and they are being asked by immigration officer to show the return tickets then what is usual result of that? Do they (immigration officer) still apply for PR cards or not? If not, then what alternate thing they do?

I am coming for short landing of 2 weeks and have come to know from a few people that sometimes, they do ask to show the ticket if its return then what is their course of action?

As question were asked to 2 people i know, but both of them were luckily coming for permanent landing and were having only one way tickets so they showed it to the officer. I want to know for the other case, seniors please share your experience.

Thank you.

Note: Canadamylove: you have done very good research generally on all topics, please through some light on this aspect. How to tackle such situation or share experience of others who might went through such questions...

I never ever heard anyone being asked to show tickets or anything like that.

I wasn't asked about it.

I wasn't even asked for how long I be staying.

they do ask ur address where u going to stay......so u have to give it to them.

the thing is.......as soon as u land here, ur pr card will go into process automatically as part of immigration process and system. u cant ask to stop it or pause it or keep it on hold. the officer has nothing to do with it cos he is not the one who initiates it, its the system here that initiates it automatically.

I don't know why u r coming here for just 2 weeks.........that's not advisable........I would recommend u to stay here till at least one month to get ur PR card. otherwise if u exit Canada without it u wont be able to re-enter cos CIC doesn't send PR card on international addresses. also if u authorize someone else to receive it, still PR card cannot be sent through crourier to international addresses.

its illegal and a crime by law. I confirmed it from immigration officer and he said as a consequence u could loose ur immigration and can be fined as well.

I m not threatening u on something just telling u the law. decision is urs to make.

Bro,

I have the same understanding from forums, but i was asking it only as it was asked to few people.

Anyways,

Its ok, if nobody is asked this question to people here in this forum, will search some other forums as if it has happened to anyone then how they tackled the situation or what to do in such condition.

Regarding temporary landing, yes, i know about it and regarding PR card to send through courier. Many people have got it already but i will not follow this, my friend is due to travel after 2 months time from my landing so he will hand carry my PR n health cards.

Thank you for your help bro.

You can give Canadian address (if you have) to immigration when landing, so they can mail your card to that address.
If your friend/family in Canada can courier your card to you to Pakistan, it can be ok or have someone carry it if someone is going to Pak.
Ensure they keep a copy of it.

There is no need to tell them you're coming in for short landing. By law, you are allowed to leave even the next day or same evening!
CBSA will not cancel or do anything bad.
You can always call CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 and speak to agent to update PR Card address (from within Canada).

Yes, it is perfectly legal to courier PR Card outside Canada. It's very normal. I've sent it to Europe for family so personal experience here.
Not sure why some members are spreading fear or saying it is illegal.

in return I paid that fia guy 4000. to is tara jaha mere 15000 lagne thay waha sirf 4 mai kaam hogeya and excess luggage bhi 34 34 per nikal gaye. even hand carries were 14 kg each (I was carrying 3 hand carrys) and uske ilawa mere and meri wife ka back pack bhi tha weighing 6 kg each.............to itna sara weight aram se nikal geya. he dropped us in waiting lounge then he went back.

the custom asked me how much dollars I m carrying...........I told them 5000 cash only. no other currency nothing else. again than fia guy helped there and they didn't searched a single thing not a single bag. I was carrying in fact 38000 Canadian dollars cash! yes I took them all cash and nothing happened Alhamdulillah.

at Toronto airport the cbsa guy asked me nothing.............no forms of goods accompanying no forms of goods to follow. he just asked me to show the gold jewelry and by looking at all separately he stamped the photos of jewelry. nothing he asked nothing he took nothing he demanded. hamari sari tayyari gayi tail lene............

everything went smoothly. Alhamdulillah.

So you...

...bribed,

...stole money from the airlines,

...circumvented regulations,

...lied,

...broke laws.

And you keep saying "alhadulillah"

What kind of a *censored word*ty Allah do YOU pray to? You should be deeply ashamed that you bribed, jumped other people, stole money, and have the gumption to drag Allah into all of this. Despicable. I mean, break all the laws you want, but don't bring god into it.

 

[siamu]

beta tum beth kar sartey raho or jaltey raho

1. I didn't bribed anyone...I paid service charges to the person. no one works or offer services for free.

2. I didn't stole anyone's money, they didn't checked and didn't asked to me to pay.......I was keeping money to pay but neither they checked and neither they asked tum sartey raho beth ker hahahhaahha

3. rules and regulations are meant for only poor people in Pakistan.........why don't u call politicians and rich people to ask them and follow rules? sartey raho beth ker

4. yes I lied to save hassle and save tension and depression.....cos if FIA and customs would have been honest and sincere then I would have never lied........like in Canada I declared everything honestly.........to beta tum beth kar saro

5. again same answer for breaking law.............aur tum sartey raho

Alhamdulillah Allah created such people like u who always are jealous and they remain like this for whole life..........common beta keep jealous and burn ur blood........hahahahhahaha sartey raho beta

Canadamylove be careful while saying something. If politicians are doing wrongs means that every one has the right to do so?

 

[ali_aff]

Is it compulsory to carry required fund in cash? what if banker's (or manager's cheque) in CAD are taken and get encashed once account is open after landing? will that be sufficient as PoF for CBSA.

Brother,

Just to add some info, in case it may help someone, that even if you do short landing and leave canada without PR card, you can still re-enter Canada using a 'Travel Document Form' which is available on CIC website. That form needs to be filled and sent to the Canadian Embassy in your country, they will issue the travel document and you can then re-enter Canada.

Lastly, I've heard people saying that couriering the PR card is illegal but couldn't find the law written anywhere and many of the people I know have received their PR cards from their family/friends in Canada.

Hi Canadamylove,



Really nice to read your posts, please keep up the good and do share your Canadian experience with us as you get to know Canada.

I am also concerned about how to bring money to Canada from Saudi ? Do not know if it is a good to make a draft?
Did they sign/stamp the declaration form of your Cash Money at toronto Airport. I am also planing to settle near Toronto.

Thanks

Yes it should be necessary.
Cash is not necessary, it can also be in the form of cheques, drafts, etc.....but that will take few days/weeks to clear, those funds will not be available immediately in the account. So it is strongly advised to carry some cash for first couple of months at least....cash works everywhere immediately.

But yes, the total POF amount must be available. Even though officers normally don't ask, it is a risk not to carry it all.
In the past there have been cases where people were sent back due to not bringing POF in required amount (total should be equal to POF for size of family/people immigrating)
