Thanks again. Actually I meant how much delay this "requirement of new document" might incur in the PPR/decision making by SVO? :)

Hey guys,

I have received email from CIC that my original documents have been sent by registered mail. Does anyone know how long will it take for it to reach me. And in case I have missed it (since it's been a week since there email) where I can inquire about it. I am in Malaysia so anybody knows where I can ask about it if it has been misplaced or something.

Second thing I want to know is that I have also received a PPR (yaay :D) but at the moment I am in Pakistan and not Malaysia. Since my Malaysian visa has expired is there any way I can submit from Pakistan to Singapore. I tried Courier and registered mail but everybody has rejected to accept responsibility of sending over. So do I have any other choice or do I have to apply for a social pass and go to Malaysia to submit it?

Please help!!

Hi Everyone,

My husband is due to arrive in Toronto from Bangladesh (BD) this coming weekend. As some of you might already be aware, some of the BD airport staffs are horrible and they love to give Bangladeshies travelling abroad some hard time clearing customs. Since my husband has traveled numerous times before, he is quite rehearsed and prepared to overturn all of the kinds of trouble the staff might dish out. However, since this is his first time immigrating, we were wondering what other documentations he should have on hand in case they ask for it. Can anyone who has recently immigrated from BD please kindly give us some suggestions in this regard?

On another matter, even in the face of complete objection from my husband and I, my mother and parents-in-laws insisted my husband take a kg of dried fish (it's a delicacy in BD, in case you're wondering). Does he have to declare that he's bringing organic matter for consumption, such as dried fish, into Canada? If he does declare, will there be a penalty? We really want this trip to go smoothly and hassle-free as much as possible. Can someone please advise.

Thanks a bunch~

I'm pretty sure he can not bring the fish into Canada even if he declares it... but if he tries to enter the country and does not declare it, then it will be taken from him and he gets a fine of around $800 Canadian dollars which he must pay before entry into Canada. Don't try to sneak it in, CBSA are very well trained to spot these things, they also have specially trianed dogs that always walk around the airports that can detect food items. I suggest you check before he packs his bags. Good luck.

Hi Synthesis

I think you can bring dried fish to Canada but you have to declare it. Maybe you can read the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website :

You can bring dried fish. You do not need to declare it as in the declaration form there is no question to declare dried fish.

Only you have to declare fresh fish.

Keep in hand only passport and COPR (Landing paper).Dry fish don't worry about that you can bring dry fish.No need to declare it,because Canada boarder agency allow dry fish but Bangladesh airport some of corrupted people can want some money from you for dry fish if they can understand.my suggestion you should talk them strictly,i did last time when i visited.Never ever don't bring any meat if you caught by CBSA they will fine max.$1300.I brought 3/4 kgs dry fish last November they checked it,didn't tell anything.

Lol you sound like you watch Border Security:Canada's Front Line on NatGeo. I like that show. Anyway, thanks for the tip. But as others have mentioned you can bring in fish, as stated on the website.
