Guys,
Awesome work you all are doing here in guiding newbies like me.
I work in Dubai and not planning to move to Canada until March 2017. What I plan to do, however, is to make a quick landing by March 2016, stay for a month to collect the PR card (and if possible open a bank account/collect SIN) and return to Dubai.
The question is: do I need to carry with me the entire CAD 12000 that CIC has stipulated that a single applicant must have, keeping in mind that my sojourn there will be for only one month or so? Can I carry with me the FD receipt to show I have the funds required?
I also received at the time of MR notification from the High Commission of Canada in London, a request to pay the Landing fees. Is this the case with everyone?
Buddy couple of things to consider
Yes, It is better to carry $11,931 CAD as required for Single applicants
Proof of funds could be in the form of:
- cash
- documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.)
- documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers' drafts, cheques, travellers' cheques or money orders).
second but most important, Please do not expect PR Card before 38 to 40 days from the time you land and apply. so one month stay will not be sufficient. Refer to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp
I think you should apply for Travel documents. Refer to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/travel.asp

My Friend is planning to land in canada in july.
1. Can someone please let me know if Indian Bank statements are acceptable as proof of funds for landing. If not what are the other options available.? I do not want to open a bank account in canada because i am not planning to settle until next year. Indian bank statements will not be accepted as proof of funds. Below are the other options
2. What are the documents required for applying for PR card and SIN? COPR copy, Visa Copy and Photos. People who have landed can provide more information
Appreciate your help.
