linuslynx: For those who are yet to land, when asked for POF, state how much you put in your application and then follow up with "but I only have x amount of cash on me" Like someone has mentioned above, insufficient funds is enough for them to send you back. 29 Likes 8 Shares |

Thanks Cochtrane you are one of the key resource persons on this thread and I don't dispute your post. I didn't want to respond but to put things in perspective to avoid potential contention as I see @AZeD1 has also picked this insufficient POF thing. Now, before my trip I never even intended carrying the cash of about $20k being POF for family of three on me it just happened that I had a bad experience when I tried buying the dollar I was to carry on me. Few days before the trip I had printed my bank statement and also collected receipt for treasury bill I still have, these amounts even exceeded my required POF. I did this because I envisioned they might ask proof of my total POF. Some people on this thread have even stated where they had to log into their mobile banking app to show evidence they had the money. That being said please don't go confidently with few dollars without back up info on your financial status and expect some over zealous border officer won't ask you about your total POF. What I meant in my post was that even if you don't carry the total physical cash on you, you fit still enter as there are hundreds of PRs a lot of whom I know that have crossed into canada without carrying in physical cash their total POF please. Showing account balance, investment certificate or account statement has been proven to work in different instances in addition to the physical cash you have on you. cochtrane: 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Lastruct: Yes forget Vancouver. It's extremely expensive. I feel Alberta gets a bad wrap. Every province has a bread and butter economy. Oil is Alberta's bread and butter as it should be, but there's other types of industry there as well. Construction is usually on going in Canada. With population increase you'll constantly have new projects then of course you have maintenance as well. I'm not too educated about the construction industry as a whole, but there's always projects going on. As for your spouse nurse, she'll be fine wherever she goes once she's qualified. I'm curious to know how your friend came with the conclusion nobody helps each other in Calgary. I know a lot of good people from Calgary. I'd personally go to Calgary over Ottawa. And if things don't work out, grab your load and move to Ottawa. 11 Likes |

Hephgirl: Had the same issue and contact the Royal Bank of Canada and got this reply below You can open your account before you arrive in Canada. In order to do so, you would simply need to submit your account application online During the process you will be asked the question "Do you live in Canada"? Choose "No" as this will designate that you are currently a non-resident looking to open an account prior to your arrival. Once you complete the application it will be sent to our International Banking Advisors who will follow up with you directly within 5 days to give you the information you need to have the account set up and be able to transfer funds to it before you arrive. For more information on banking in Canada, please visit our Welcome to Canada page, at: http://www.rbc.com/newcomers/ Wishing you all the best with your move to Canada! Thanks for contacting us. We'll be happy to help you again if there's anything else you’d like to discuss. 22 Likes 13 Shares |

Aresej: An extract from NCA page "Can I write my exams in a location other than Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver? Applicants may be able to arrange to write examinations in other locations within Canada and in other countries, at their own expense. Further information on approved sites can be obtained by contacting the Examinations Manager at exam@flsc.ca. Not all requests will be approved particularly where a site already exists. Sites will not be approved in regions covered by the six cities listed above." 1 Like 1 Share |
