Friends.. sorry for re-posting.. seems its buried under many queries.. by forum mates...
I have received my stampted passport and COPR. I need to land in Canada before April 20, 2016.
I don't intend to settle in Canada right away, I plan to go there for a couple of months in March 2016 to see and understand... I plan to settle there after a couple of years.. I have two questions:
1. My son's passport expires in May 2016, So I will need to get it renewed before we leave india in March 2016. Would it have any impact on Visa that is there in his passport?? Can I carry both passports for him. (Thats usually done in case of long term visa of USA I know from a relative)
2. As proof of funds, I need to carry about 19K CAD.
2a. Would this amount get revised for the year 2016, as the website mentions that it is revised every year.
2b. Can I carry a Prepaid card for this funds? Is it allowed??
2c. Can a limit of 10000 CAD cash is per person, or per applicant.
Awaiting reply,
Thanks,
Dear Friend,
1) Passport can be renewed, however, inform VO with updated number. Carry both together and land on new passport.
2) You don't need to carry CAD 19k, but should be able to show clearly the fund is immediately available with you in terms of Debit card, a bank statement will do, which can be further verified by IO online if required.
2a) no one can confirm
2b) It is fine, should be working internationally.
2c) Per family (instead of per person/applicant), but there is no problem if you carry more, you just need to declare.
Nevertheless, irrespective of your personal circumstances, I strongly suggest you to land without any delay. The reason is immigration laws changes anytime without any notice and it happened with some foram members the delay caused their visa REVOKED for some silly reasons!!!
