Jala25, Suin, and all,

Flag-poling for permanent resident is exiting Canada without US visa. If you are temporary resident in Canada and you received pr visa while you are in Canada, you must exit Canada and return as landed immigrant. The easiest and fastest way is to go to the US. According to the CIC agent yesterday, the US officers are aware of it and just tell them that you are "flag-poling" for permanent resident. We were all uncertain when we went to the border as we all know some CIC agents are somewhat unreliable LOL, but we just did what the CIC agent told us and trusted God will our hearts and minds. After I mentioned "flag-poling," the American officer did not say anything until after scanning our passports and then he showed us what to do and where to go (polite and accommodating) and the whole thing was just less than an hour (long line up/waiting in both borders included). I hope this explained "flag-poling" I am not really familiar with this until just yesterday.

Hi everyone,

Thank you to all who cheered with me and CONGRATULATIONS to all who got visas and updates! I just want to let you all know that parents are now landed immigrants through "flag-poling" as I had mentioned in July or August 2012, my parents are here on super visa. We received the ppr and mr sent from lvo to here in Canada. We sent my parents' passport via Canada post xpress post. And they did not went for another medical exam as they already had for their super visa. we received their passports with pr visa yesterday. however, the cic agent told my parents to exit Canada . . . thankfully, the agent was so helpful (bless him and his family) he told us about the easier way and that is "flag-poling" so we did it earlier and the American as well as Canadian border officers are well informed of it and the whole processing was rather smooth .... no fees ... visas was sent via DHL from lvo and free of charge!!!

Again, wish you all a happy/merry Christmas!

Was this automatic or you had to let CIC know that you went through this and had doctor in your home country send them docs etc

I called CIC and asked about it. The CIC agent told me to contact dmp in the Philippines (dmp for super visa) and send the medical form/request (for pr) to that dmp. That dmp filled in the form and send it to the local visa office. Also, I went to check with dmp here in Canada and she told me that the medical exam for super visa and immigrant visa are "pretty much the same" so she told me to confirm with CIC agent.

I was told the same but they said they would only ask meds if they need more info, but this does involve calling the DMP back home - thanx

Hello All,

Finally my prents will be flying to Tornoto on 11/30/2012. I have few questions about the Cash and Jewelry. I know they can bring upto $ 10, 000 CDN per person to Canada. What about Jewelry? How much gold/jewelry they can bring? Is there a limit for first time immigrants like my parents? How they have to declare it? If someone on the forum can help with it.

Hello All,

Finally my parents will be flying to Toronto on 11/30/2012. I have few questions about the Cash and Jewelry. I know they can bring up to CAD10, 000 per person to Canada. What about Jewelry? How much gold/jewelry they can bring? Is there a limit for first time immigrants like my parents? How they have to declare it? If someone on the forum can help with it.

I guess your parents can bring CAD 10,000 cash person and declare the cash value if is over $10,000. However, when emigrating from India on an immigrant visa, your parents can take out USD100,000 of money per person/parent every year for first five years. Year is considered from April 01 to March 31st. There is no limit on money that can be brought into Canada by a new immigrant. There could be limit on cash that can be brought into Canada but no limit on money (cash equivalent e.g. draft or travelers cheque)

Anyone who is emigrating from India permanently can take out USD100,000 per year for the first 5 years legally. This was the law in 2005 when I immigrated to Canada. Check the current Indian law, if it changed since then.

About jewellery - Any kind of jewellery can be brought at the time of landing. Keep the jewellery in purse/hand bag. If the flight is direct flight then there is no problem. However, if there is a connecting flight in Europe, then jewellery has to be taken out of purse/hand bag for security check. If jewellery is not brought while landing or not declared for goods to follow then that jewelery will be considered as an import if brought later on. And duty needs to be paid on that jewellery.

My wife when she immigrated to Canada. She came by Jet Airways via Brussels and had all her jewellery in her purse. She had to take out all jewellery for security check in Delhi and Brussels. In Brussels, they asked why you are carrying so much jewellery then my wife told them that she is newly married and immigrating to Canada, so taking all her jewellery with her.

When we visited India last year for attending marriage, before leaving Canada we took photo copy of jewellery to a Jeweller in Toronto and got the photocopy attested for $20. When we returned from India, that photocopy was a proof from a Canadian Jeweller that jewellery was present in Canada and taken out of Canada, so that jewellery was not considered as an import item and no duty needs to be paid. One of my friend failed to get the jewellery attested (photocopy attested from a jeweller) few years ago and was charged CAD 800 as an import duty while bringing the jewellery into Canada.
