*** Landed Canada Safely ***

By the grace of almighty, reached Canada 6th of June by Turkish air. Currently at windsor,my elder sisters house.

Want to share few of my landing experience here...

Turkish air took about 21 hrs from Dhaka to Toronto which was pretty fine considering the travelling time with only about 2 hrs transit at Istanbul. But it made me pretty tired as seats were very congested (obviously it was economy class). So, it was hard to relax and had a hard time to spent without any intermission and with ugly foods :-[

However, Bangladeshi immigration police was pretty kind to me ( may b they saw my tears as i was leaving my mom behind). They just asked "what's your profession?" and "Please look at this web cam, need to take a photo.". Then i was amazed hearing "Thank you Sir." ya, they called me 'Sir' and i didn't expect so polite behavior from them. Really felt pleased.

In istanbul, there was a security check with no hassle.

After reaching Toronto, had to fill up a form stating my name , how many money(if more than 10000 CAD) do i have etc. Form was checked by an official and then i was sent to immigration officer. Immigration officer took my COPR, checked the passport and asked where im gonna stay ( PR card will be sent there after about 7 weeks, he said). Then he returned the client copy of my COPR and wished me luck.

After taking my luggage , have to cross another interrogation counter. Many had to open their bags in front of those counter to show the officials. But i was not asked to do so. the officer just asked how many money do i have and let me go. Thats all..

So the whole process was pretty smooth.

Everybody please pray for me as now comes the time to battle on the field.

NB: It would be helpful if anyone update my landing date in the spreed sheet.

Congrats Abnormaldehyde!!!
Wish you luck for getting a desired job!!!

Hello Friends

I have paid RPRF fees online and got the printed receipt. My sister paid for me, so her name is showing on the receipt.

I understand that I have to fill all the asked details (My DOB, Client ID or UCI, Address, Telephone etc) for me on the receipt. All the spaces are empty apart from the name.

Could you please let me know where should I write my name on the receipt or I don't need to write my name?

Thanks & Best Regards

Its not mandatory Parminder, just make sure you write UCI, DOB, Address and Contact no.

Posting again, Please provide your suggestions.

opening account with scotiabank is safer way to carry your fund

I landed in Toronto on 24th May 2015.. I carried a few Travellers Cheques, some cash and my INDIAN bank statements to as Pof.. One of my friends asked at the CIIP Session regarding Pof & they confirmed that INDIAN Bank statements are good enough.

Also I want to highlight that the VISA officers there DO Not ask about PoF unless they doubt you. So be calm and just go out there and enjoy your life. If u r moving there permanently immediately, then you can always open a Scotia Bank account otherwise for short landing this will work for sure..

Wish u a happy Landing!

Dear Priya..,
You can take money into Canada in different forms. When you arrive, you must tell a border official if you are carrying more than C$10,000.

If you carry more than C$10,000 (or the equivalent in another currency) into Canada, you must declare the amount when you arrive at ur destination. You must fill out form Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report.

If you do not declare it, you may need to pay a fine or face other penalties.
You will not be taxed on the money you take with you for landing or while landing.

You can take money into Canada in the form of the following,

1. Cash
2. Securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills)
3. Negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bank drafts, cheques, travellers' cheques, money orders)
4. Transfer of funds between your bank and a Canadian bank


I hope this information is sufficient for you.

be happy and all the best. +1 to you

Good to know!!!..Tell me something, did u declare ur carrying over 10k CAD while landing??..Bcos as i understand, this should only be declared if a person is carrying CAD in cash/ monetary instruments like Draft/ TC/etc...For Bank statements (Indian/ Canadian), u don't need to declare..correct?

Dear friends,

Any body have any idea about in which province is easy to get driving licence after we land as a PR.
ie.. which provice has easy procedures and which one has less waiting period to get a full driving licence. Please suggest one

Dear princejosethomas,

Unlike in India where DL from one state is valid all over India, in Canada you cannot drive with your DL from different province. You will have to get valid license for the province.

Hi friends ,


Can any1 please help, I got mail with following subject requesting for PCC.

From: <LDNIMMIGRATION @ international.gc.ca>
Date: Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 2:41 PM
Subject: E0002*****, AIDELOJIE, KENNETH EHIABHI (DRD)

But My file number is different from one mentioned in subject and if its applicant name in subject then its different too.............

Shall I raise CSE or shall I send required PCC docs............

No don't send ur PCCs....reply to that email + raise CSE with 'Urgent' tag stating that they probably made a mistake, highlighting the error and requesting them to clarify further....

 

[agx]

I did not Carry funds above 10k CAD.. carried only 3k.. Trust me the officers are very helpful friendly and do not ask anything.. (even i was surprised)

Things u need to carry are only Passports & CoPR and PoF (even Indian BAnk statements, certified by bank though, will do 100% sure-- coz this is what u used while applying and my friend confirmed it in a CIIP session)

Cheers!
