I didn't declare my jewelries in the Declaration Form, but should they learned that I i had lots, i would just tell them i bought some of those when i was still in ksa, others were gifts from my hubby and in-laws
 
Can anyone please guide me a little. I am about to send the application. But i just have a question.

My husband's UAE residency visa expires in March 2016. Offcourse he will renew his visa before it expires. But i just want to know if i send the application now, will there be any problem?
 
Hi Impresso. I'm sure you've already found the info on this page http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/ifcrc-rpcrc-eng.html and here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-goods-what.asp and finally, here is the customs declaration card that will need to be filled in (there may be other forms for firsttimers) http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e311-eng.pdf

My advice is to declare everything. You probably already know that pleading ignorance to the laws and rules doesn't work in Canada. Canadians are generally honest and trustworthy people. People wanting to live in Canada and/or become Canadians should also be honest and trustworthy. The last thing you want to have happen is for your spouse to inadmissible because something wasn't declared. Get started on the right foot. (I'm not suggesting anyone here is not honest of course...just re-iterating this important Canadian value).

I'm not too sure of gold (i.e. gold bars) but the last time I brought a bar of silver back from Dubai, I declared it under goods....and when my total exceeded the personal exemption amount, they sent me over to the cashier window...but when I listed the bar, they had no way of putting it into the computer....so I suggested that perhaps it is a monetary instrument and therefore considered it as part of the cash I was carrying (far less than 10,000). I don't know if another person would have handled it differently.

I've also gone through secondary screening in the US (if you pass through the US, you will be screened by passport control and customs...even if just transiting at the airport) and again, my advice is complete honesty.

It seems in one of the pages, they suggest having all jewelry appraised, etc. You can always call them to get more details.

Just my two cents.
 
Al hamdullilah....we have finally submitted our sponsorship application via courier and while DHL says it was delivered on Jun 3, I assume it will take some time before we hear anything from CIC. I guess it's time to be added to the spreadsheet? I've been away from the board for a while cause we also had to move to a new place here in Dubai. I'm looking forward to going back through the posts and seeing how everyone's progress has been. :)

Congratulations i2Canada....so happy for you and your wife :)

1 - The time is unknown as we are not sure when they receive the file and when do they officially open it. In most cases they do not send AOR2 unless they require additional docs
2 - In some cases it does change, when they actually start working on Security/Background Clearance
3 - Depends on the correspondence you pick in the form, but mostly email but they do not entertain replying back.

Thanks for your reply impresso! So in your case, did they ask for additional docs ? And did they finally ask for that Abu dhabi residency questionnaire even though your application is not for an Abu dhabi resident ?
