Brothers! THERE IS A RESTRICTION and you cannot carry more than 10,000 USD ~ CND
No confusions about it please!
Few crazy folks try it and get away by chance -No point of trying this coz if God forbidden you get checked, they'll simply book you and confiscate the amount temporarily until you face charges in court and pay the fine.

How to transfer funds then: One solution I could figure out after some discussions here and there;
Carry around 5000 CND per person in cash and for the rest of funds
- Open foreign currency (USD/EURO) account (FCA) in any good bank here in Pakistan
- Convert PKRs in USD/EURO from open market (risky but have to) and deposit in FCA
- Get a bank of daft issued in favour of your name just a week before your departure
- Once you reach and open a bank a/c, deposit the draft and you'll get your money there
Alongwith 20-30% cash in hand, bank draft should be acceptable as proof of fund at PoE.
Please suggest if someone has better ideas on this
Thanks
Agreed with you darwaish. But the only way to confirm it by some mean at POE. I am not sure but travellers cheques can also be some form which cannot considered as hard cash and then further can be deposited in the bank account in Canada.

Correct me if i am wrong.

Dear All,

I was thinking that most of the colleagues that have received PPRs are either from MI 3 or very early MI 1 who had their medicals done in period between June 2011 - Dec 2011.
Hardly any of the "New wave" Med Req receivers from MI 1 & 2 (Feb, Mar, April 2012) have recieved PPRs till yet despite the 2-3 months specified period is over. If same wait time post Med is applied to the "New Wave" as to the ones who have received PPRs this process is not going to finish before 2013. What are your thoughts on this ? :-\

Dear Markon,

I appreciate your forecasting, you’ve have express in two lines what Canadian embassy is trying to plan for last few months

• I applied on 2009 November
• Done medical on 14th April 2012
• Waiting for PPR

But if check the trends for MI-1 early applicants it takes 4 to 4.5 months for PPR1 after medical so still there is a Hope. We will get some good news in end of August Insha’Allah. :):)

And after all 2013 is not that far away only 6 Months .

Best Regards


P.S: I want to send PM to some senior member but not allowed as I am newbie …:& plz advice How can I get this privilege :p

Cyma,

For people having their Meds done in Feb & Mar, it is already over 4 months. As far as hope is concerned we are all hanging on because of it but it is the patience that runs out. :)

Its very simple to send a message, click on the Member Name and then select Send Personal Message. I hope this helps.

Yes you are right , actually I was talking with the refrence of applicant sent their medical in April ...

about PM this simplest thing doestnt work in my profile.. I dont know why .May be I am new here thats y , someone told me to send several post/quotes to get that priviliage.

But obvioulsy I cannot send junk post in this forum :D
