Hello,
Walla ya chabeb w sabaya I wish you all the good luck.
I have been reading all your posts during the past few weeks.
I need a favor,if someone can give me some instructions,it will be more than great.
I will be landing in québec during the first 10 days of november and returning to lebanon,finalize everything and returning to quebec in 2015.
Therefore,I need to ask a couple of questions:
1-What are the documents (passport photos,diplomas,financial statements,etc...)that I need to have with upon landing in quebec
2-Once,I am at the airport,what type of questions,I will be asked (if there are any) and how much time will the registration process need
3-Are there any forms that i need to fill other than the immigration form?
4-What about the permanent resident card?I will be leaving before obtaining the PR (due to work and contracts commitments in lebanon) so do you have any suggestions.I have read that I can ask them to send the PR documents to my relatives address?WIll they go and ask my relatives about me later on(after leaving quebec) or they will just manage to forward the PR cards?
Moreover,I won't reside at my relatives place.I will reside in an hotel.So while filling the immigration form,do you think that they might consider it fishy to have the residence address different than the address to where the PR cards will be sent?
5-What about the expired CSQ.Mine (and my family members) has expired two years ago ( I received the immigration documents last month).I have contacted micc and they told me that there is need for renewing the CSQ once the visa has been issued.Has anyone had a similar case?
6-About the weather during november:how is it usually there during this period.Do we need to wear heavy clothes?
Thank you guys and again I wish everyone of you a great luck

Essential documents
To enter Canada, you will need to present the following:

Attached is the list of Personal Effect - you can make as many copies as needed.
Disclosure of funds
-If you are carrying more than CDN $10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:
