Guys,,,,I'm going to do my landing shortly

1) I'm carrying (i) PR Card Application, (ii) Supplementary ID form and (iii) Goods list in addition to COPR, Visa, Passport, Proof of Funds etc. Do I need to carry anything else?

2) Do I need additional photographs or the officers will use photographs attached to COPR?

Thanks in advance.

Don't bring the PR application. The PR application is only for renewals.

Also depending on where you are coming from, you might think about getting an customs form. It allows you to list all home goods you will get to Canada and you will not be charged any duty on it. It can only be submitted when you land for the first time, even if you don't have any goods with you at that time. But, it will enable you to get them later without any issues. This is more useful especially when you are coming from US or a country and intend shipping your home goods.

Technically, you don't need any other document except the following:

1. a valid pass­port
2. valid per­ma­nent res­i­dent visa
3. con­fir­ma­tion of per­ma­nent residence
4. If you immi­grate through a cat­e­gory that requires you to prove that you have suf­fi­cient funds to sup­port your­self (for exam­ple, the skilled worker cat­e­gory), the offi­cer will need to see the sup­port­ing doc­u­ments, such as a recent bank statement. (Proof of funds)

There is no requirement for the photographs. However, if you do want to carry them, feel free to do so. Its a very routine process and the post at which you land, the officers are well versed with it. Don't stress too much over it. If you are thinking of taking the photographs for the permanent resident card, you will have 180 days to provide a mailing address in Canada.

This is based on my personal information when i accompanied my friend who landed, while I was on a visitor visa.
