Sorry o but I'm just wondering why he couldn't just use his British passport to enter Canada back cos I know they don't need a visa. 4712A6: |

Ogundre:Found the statement below on the cic website: "The following travellers (visa exempt countries, UK nationals are on the list) need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to board their flight to Canada. However, these travellers do not need an eTA if entering by land or sea – for instance driving from the U.S. or coming by bus, train, or boat, including cruise ship." The British traveler denied entry in the post you quoted would need an eTA to enter Canada via an airport.. Also found the statement below on cbc news website "eTA: It's essentially a "basic pre-screening of visa-exempt individuals. U.S. citizens are exempt from the new rule. And electronic travel authorization only affects people coming to Canada by air. Travellers arriving by land or by sea don't need it". www.cbc.ca/amp/1.3921453 1 Like |

hello i think what happens is that these organisations have security companies in Nigeria that carry out these checks on their behalf so no it is not a specific govt agency to the best of my knowledge. Your friend will just have to wait until he or she is confirmed..nothing can be influenced here. Ehrnie: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Ehrnie: 9:35am On Jun 29, 2018 |
4712A6: Many many thanks for your reply. The criminal check has now been completed and sent...We didn't need to do anything, thankfully. Apparently the wait time is 3 weeks...but the public holidays in Nig. stretched it by a few days. Many thanks again! 2 Likes |

hello all Long post alert silent reader on this thread. just thought to share short landing experience. I landed Toronto Pearson on a weekend in April this year. At arrivals,there are machines and a queue for categories of arrivals. For example if you are a family with kids,they pick u off the line to the closest machines while others like us continue ,in my own case,in the very long queue.Anyways,finally got to a machine..scanned my passport data page...took my picture and then answered the typical questions such as declaration of goods..etc. in my case i said no even though i had a ghana must go bag of food as requested by my hosts. machine printed out my declaration form ,got to immigration officer who asked same set of questions on card and i gave the same answers as on card. she marked my card with a pink pen and then directed me in the direction of a colleague who then directed me to a glass enclosure where the border officials were. I don't know if it was because of the weekend but the queue was brutal to the extent that while i was still on the queue the SIN window closed for the day.there were about 5 or 6 officials on seat and they took their time.the line moved really slow because all different types of visas were on the same queue,visit visa,study visa..etc...they were the ones that got the short end of the stick cos their questions were really intense..what have you come to study?ok tell me about so and so related to the study..blah blah ..and then the visit guy that brought 7k cash and 3 bags for a visit....etc i tell you i was tired...i stood..sat on my hand luggage..squatted..stood again..it was bad. Finally got to my turn and it was the official that had been intense with the visa person..i prayed not him God please but alas it was him. i prayed ehn..but got there ..asked for passport,COPR,address and completed the forms..asked me to sign both copies and released me..less than 5 mins ,phew! SIN window obviously was closed so just went to the welcome to canada section where i was given a bag filled with book guides,newcomers leaflets etc..and then to baggage claim. Due to the long wait at Border,my bags had been dropped at the section where my plane released passenger bags and other planes that were just arriving were using the claim areas. eitherways took a bit to locate it..finally did....handed over my declaration to customs at exit..didnt even check and i was out.1/2 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Congrats on your safe landing. If i do not have any address at hand that they could send SIN to, what other options do i have ? Fortissimo502: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Faarshavin: 12:36pm On Jun 29, 2018 |
Thank you for your good wishes. Nope not misguided just confident,I did that because i was mostly satisfied that what i had did not match the definition of what was required to be declared. i read carefully. Also on getting my bags i noticed that the bags including that of the food had been xrayed as there was a sticker on them letting me know. I am sure if there were issues i would have been delayed or fined as you said. Fortissimo502: 4 Likes |

Faarshavin: I still think it is a bad idea not to be forthright in a customs declaration. The usual challenge you can have is not whether the food items are allowed or not, but that you have provided a false declaration on a legal document. With a difficult customs officer, you can have a very very bad time.... That said, I've attached a snap shot from the customs declaration form, and if you say what you had does not match the definition of what you need to declare, then i guess you're ok. However, I think it is extremely difficult for that to be true once you have a food item, as it says any "part, products or by-products" need to be declared. Just out of curiosity, it would be interesting to know what food item is not in this category as I believe even spices would be included. Personally, I think it's not worth it to be caught being economical with the truth on a customs declaration form. On my last trip, I marked that I had food items, the officer verbally asked me what items I had (I gave a few examples, not all cos I couldn't recall all off hand) and I passed through without anything being checked. Considering how smooth it went, it really would have been silly to get caught explaining why I would have lied on the form. 7 Likes 1 Share

ottawasenators: For the SIN, I did not have anything sent to my address. Once all my details were put into the system, a copy was printed out at the Service Canada desk and handed over to me immediately. However, an address was requested but it there was no need for the SIN to be mailed. Are you perhaps asking about the PR card? See the below from @alterego: alt3r3go: 5 Likes |

rukayatd: DatechMan: We didn't pay for anything except medication from the pharmacy, prior to delivery. From the moment we went into the hospital for the delivery, everything was covered. However, if you opt for a private room instead of a regular room with multiple beds after delivery, you might need to pay extra for that. |
