[RanjitNagi]

Guys,

Could you please let me know the procedures and precautions that I need to take for short landing(1-2 months) in Canada?
Don't know what to take care and what not...

Please help

 

[Coolguy31]

congrats to all the members who got DM / PPR / MR today. And for those who did not get any update (Incl Me) Best wishes for tomorrow.

 

[amis]

I agree.

We have taken big decision on immigration, now exchange rate should not be big obstacle.

BTW, I spoke to ICICI bank regarding Hello Canada Account. Hope to get it done by 5th June.

He suggested that they will charge RDI (I assume this is current buying value)value + 20 paise per CAD.

Looks good

Is there any case where an individial has been rejected entry for showing bank statements. ?

All the best with your settling malay.

Thank you for the info and Congrats on Ur Landing.

Hi Guys...

NOW ECAS IS SHOWING BELOW 5th LINE

You entered Canada at the P.E. Trudeau International Airport office on May 20, 2015 and became a Permanent Resident.

This forum helped me a lot and I cant stop sharing my landing experience with all of you. My experience might help few confused people like me.

I was fsw 2014 and I landed in Montreal Canada on 20th May. I bought a ticket to Toronto via Montreal, Toronto was my landing point and layover was of 1 hour 25 minutes via lufthansa and Air Canada.

First step, went to the queue of Visitors with further connections row for CBSA counter for making the entry, where we declared the 15000 CAD in form of traveller's cheque and Cash.

Then they asked us to goto a imigration section on the below floor, where officer took our passports and COPR letters of my family. Then they asked us to wait for some time. My connecting flights were very close by and eventually we missed it but the officer told me there is nothing he can do only Air Canada people might help with that. It took around 2 hours to get called our name for further processes like delivery address for PR card and they gave a booklet of welcome to canada to us. After 15-20 minutes officer stamped our COPR letters and told us the procedure has been completed. I couldn't find services canada counter there so I moved ahead to Air Canada counter, told them about the missed connection to Toronto, then they issued two new tickets on last flight to Toronto free of charge.

And I was on my way to Toronto,

Next day went to Services Canada office at Downtown for getting my sin number issued. It took around 45 mins to called our number , met an officer and they issued sin number in plane papers in 15 mins.

So people can land in any place in Canada and complete landing procedure including Quebec. And Sin can be issued at airport before 6pm after that you can visit any services canada office nearby to get the sin number.

Is there any case where an individial has been rejected entry for showing bank statements. ?

Hi Amis,

I have not heard any one, not sure if I missed.
BTW, I visited my consultant this morning, she suggested that we do not need to transfer the amount to Canadian bank, neither it must be in CAD.
As per her, we can take Indian Bank Account statement and show to them.
Please note that "future_canadian" also states the same.

conclusion, since you are going there just for 10 days, you can show your account statement and carry some cash (CAD).

NOTE: this is my personal opinion

 

[ashu.thind]

Yes NDVO won't proceed on two separate activities parallelly. Whenever you add/remove a member from the application the VO does put it on hold till all formalities are complete. I sailed in the same boat, received MR for me and my wife on 10th feb, then I submitted my child's docs in April and recently on 14th May i received MR for my child. Till then I received no PPR. Now I am going to submit my child's MR receipts soon and then I expect NDVO will take the process forward towards PPR. Such delays are irritating but thats how things work at NDVO.

By the way what's TLU and what security checks are you talking about?

Thanks mk.2382,

TLU = Third Line Update
Security & Criminality Checks = The checks that are initated once the third line is updated
