Landing Questions

[araj_98]

To Gurus out there:

I have come across a lot of posts that talk about SIN card, Bank Accnt etc.

I was wondering if I could just apply for PR card and come back to the US.

Am I required to get SIN card, bank accnt etc? Can I not do it in next visit?

Also, sounds like you have to pick up the PR card in person although some fols said they had their frds couriered it, please shade a little light on it.

Thanks a million!

In the same boat

I have received my single entry immigrant visa and IMM5292 and was asked to land before 12/19/2003. I will have my spouse and child with me when landing. I plan to land at Vancouver. Could someone please answer the following questions:

1. Can I go to the canadian immigration and then leave for the US immediately? Any problems with the I94 card at US immigration when going by road?
2. Do I need to take a minimum amount of funds? Or is my bank statement sufficient?
3. I plan to take a rental car since I read the posts concerning taking your own vehicle.
4. I plan to provide my relative's address for mailing any papers.
5. Any other questions/scenarios I should be aware of when landing?
6. I had stated in my application that I was landing in Toronto, ON. But now, I want to land in Vancouver, BC. Any issues with that? The CPR does show Toronto,ON.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
