Oops..I did not declare savings. No where it was asked to do so. What should I do now? Should i do wire transfer to my account in canada?

Regards

ohhh, I am not sure, but in this case better to remit by wire transfer (but in multiple transactions if more than 10K).

Better to take suggestion from some expert as well.

Hi itguy, i did not receive any email asking for additional docs from ADVO. Also, ala pa ako natanggap na email galing sa ADVO mismo kung sila talaga ang mag proprocess ng visa.

Sana nga tayo nila pachochay eh makareceive na ng medical request. Ang tagal mag antay nakakainip... ;D

Yes, this month na MR natin! Sama din natin Karl:-)

Just want to share my update. I submitted our passports last March 30, & received by visa office March 31. Along with our passport is a cover letter, specifying passports update because me & my daughter had renewed passports & hubby is under processing at Phil Consulate where his new passport release will be expected by 1st week of May. ADVO officer called me yesterday & explained that she will extend our passport request date til 15 June 2014 to maximize our visa validity (Dec 5,2014) officer said they can release the visa now but once my hubby's new passport arrives we have to send all the passports again to ADVO for COPR amendment which she said will cost us AED 90/per passport. Since the officer has given me the option, we decided to extend PPR request date and for this ADVO will return our passports back for the meantime & will resend it once hubby's new PP arrives.
We are planning to land by mid July. Thank u

Nice, bait VO! Ayan, prepare na lang pag-alis gagawin;-)

Hi,

Any one has idea what is the difference between "New Permanent Resident" and "Initial Card". Why I am asking as processing time for both is very different.

Hi kkhurram1,
Good to hear that you are back. With regard to your questions:

- Your PR card is the ‘Initial Card’ and ‘New Permanent Residents’ time of 37 days will applicable to you. The latest time on the website is an improvement as it was around 58 days a few weeks back.

- As you know already, if you don’t have PR card in hand, you will need a PR travel document to return to Canada. Check the processing time for that at ADVO to be prepared in case of any emergency travel need before your PR card arrives.

- I don’t think there is any declaration of savings at the time of landing so no worries if you missed that. The declaration of overseas assets (savings, investments, property etc) is done in your first annual tax return.

- The best way to transfer your savings from UAE to Canada is by telex transfer through your bank branch/international transfer through your online banking. If it’s a large amount, before the transfer check with staff at your bank branch if they can give a better conversion exchange rate for CAD/AED. I don’t think there is any need to break the amount into small installments for any reason.

- When a large sum is received in your account in Canada, that bank will most likely ask for the source of funds. So keep copies of documentation (like bank transfer slip, salary/end of service certificate) handy. they will also most likely report the amount to Canadian tax authorities. No worries on this, as there is no tax on prior savings as far as it is disclosed in your first tax return.

- In your first tax annual return in Canada, you will declare your overseas assets at the time you become PR. Better take some tax consultant advise if you have large amounts. Some guidance on the forum is here:

- Leaving Canada without getting a PR card is a grey area. Some risks are there but many people do it. See link:

Wish you all the best,
