MashAllah.cocknbull said:Dear All,
AOA. I completed my landing yesterday smoothly Alhumdulillah, no problems. Though PIA flight was pretty long and tiring (14 hours direct flight from Islamabad to Toronto). Main points to note
1) You will be given a declaration card on plane while it is about to land in Toronto. Here is the card
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e311-eng.pdf
Have a look how to fill, instructions are on left how to fill this card. Tick yes
I am bringing in to Canada Currency and/or monetary instruments totaling
CAN$10,000 or more. Rest answers are no...
2) At first immigration point your declaration card and status will be checked and card will be marked and you will be sent to another immigration counter. He will put details in system, ask for Canadian address to send PR card and ask you to sign COPR paper and stamp COPR paper. He asked me in end how much money I am carrying, I replied $11453, he put down in his system but didn't ask me to show that.
3) He told me to meet people at next point and as a new immigrant some leaflets and books were given and was greeted.
4) Now comes the baggage collection, check the aisle displaying your flight no and pick your luggage. You can also hire a porter. I hired one. They charge $10 for 2 bags.
5) Next step is important if you are carrying goods to carry and goods to follow list, you will meet a custom official and tell him yes I am carrying such list. He will send you to a different custom officials who will check the list and can ask questions. I had 2 copies of goods to carry list only and not to follow. She stamped my B4 form and every page of list and kept one copy for herself and gave other to me, also a green form is attached. Remember only goods listed on goods to carry or follow list can be brought in to Canada without paying duty.
6) Thats it then, We are out. Its very cold here these days in Toronto , temperature was like -3 C when I went out. Remember if some one is not already waiting to pick you up and coming to pick you up better stay inside airport building and call him to come to some specific pillar no you can see from inside airport building like 32, 34, 36 etc because its freezing outside. When guy pulls up at that pillar no you can see from inside.
Landing done, thats all. PR card will follow in 35-36 days he told me.
Soon I will open up a bank account, apply for SIN card and buy a mobile sim....
Good luck to all preparing for landing..
Last point, I found Canada better than my expectations....
hi...any specific reason?KHALIQUE said:AOA!
All loving ones are hereby advised if they have good jobs at back home means Pakistan,then all get leave of 3-4 months prior leaving to Pakistan for CANADA.
Its an advise which i observed here for me and my country people.
KIND REGARDS.
May be because it is not easy to find a job here. You are safe to come here if you have a job in hand or can do odd jobs or have enough money to stay a year without a job. It looks like a dream land but when you land here it becomes a reality2calgary said:hi...any specific reason?
Gentlemen! what is stopping you to email them and ask about your status? write a concrete, concise and complete email. They are prompt in replying to those who do not disturb them as often.Majidqta said:Salam to all friends,

Your advice may have carrying enough weight but the truth is it will be heard like "shadi ka laddoo".KHALIQUE said:AOA!

I landed here 1.5 months back and frankly speaking, if you dont have a very good friend or relative already here, then renting first house, getting first credit card and first job is most difficult stuff here. They ask you for credit history or job letter for everything....Also finding the first job in your profession is quite difficult here as they ask for Canadian experience or local certifications....
Mine is NXR too and i find him quite active. Better luck to you.Come-by-chance said:Dear KhiPak,
Grateful if you could add my VO, NXR against my name. It seems NXR is in deep sleep I wish if I could have a VO like JMR.
Kindest regards
Congrat....and wish you good luck....Muhammadk said:Assalam o alaikum every one,
Alhumdullilah, By the Grace of Almighty ALLAH I received my PPR-1 on friday and hoping INShALLAH to get PPR-2,visa and COPR on time .(Ameen). "Ya Rabbi Lakal hamd Walaka Shukar."
Thankyou all guys...This is really a good news especially for guys whose medicals are expiring soon. I hope and pray that especially my friends and brothers (Khipak, SLEO, Wali and all others) get their PPRs soon. Dear KhiPak you rock man!!!Really appreciate your efforts in maintaining the list. I can really understand the frustration, tension and anxiety during this time. You are there in my special duaas. I myself was frustrated and lost hope until this friday and was not coming to the forum. Dont worry ALLAH is great and the things which ALLAH plan are the best.. KEEP HOPE...
Sorry guys if I missed any names.. All the best for every one for smooth processing.
Take care..
