Hi All!!!
I have recently been granted permanent residence in Canada along with my family of 4. Since my kids are still in school and won't be out till June, I am planning in doing the landing in March alone while husband stays home with kids . I will stay no more than 10 days in Canada. My husby will then be able to do his landing in April without me, and start working, and finally I will be re-entering in June with kids to do their landing and stay in Canada permanently. Now, there is this issues I am wondering about and will really appreciate if someone "conocedor" will answer them.
1) In the permanent documents issued to us and to be given upon landing, it says we are settling in Thunder Bay, but we have changed our minds and planning to settle in Ottowa which is were I will be doing my landing. My husband will be doing his landing probably by April in Toronto due the fact that he already has a job offer there. And then my kids will be doing their landing in Ottowa. Will this represent any inconvenience to us in customs and immigration, since we are planning to settle somewhere else of the place we stated in our PR application? Please note that we will be doing the landings separately and not all at the same time.... basically it will be in 3 phases. ???
2) Since I am doing the landing alone and not with my family together, should I bring all the funds at once with me even though I am not bringing my husband and kids ? and also, I really dislike the idea of bring 2 much cash money with me.... can I bring my printed online bank statements of my accounts in USA and express the immigration officer my intentions of opening a bank account first and then doing a transference money? ???
3) Should I bring the original documents of the permanent papers issued to my family with me when I do my landing or just the ones pertinent to me? ???
Please, I will really appreciate some advice on this matters! Ty again.
