11.1
Do I become a permanent resident of Canada as soon as my landing documents are
issued? No. You will only become a permanent resident when you cross
a Canadian port-of-entry with your valid passport and your valid Canadian Immigrant
Visa.
11.2 How long can I wait
to come to Canada after my Immigrant Visa is issued? You must arrive in
Canada before the expiry date which appears on your Immigrant Visa. Usually, it
is one year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not
always the case, be sure to verify the expiry date as soon as you receive your
Immigrant Visa.
11.3 Can the expiry
date on my Canadian Immigrant Visa be extended? As a general rule, the
expiry date on your Canadian Immigrant Visa will not be extended. Failure to land
in Canada before the expiry date may result in the necessity of re-application.
11.4 Must I land at or near the
location I indicated as my intended destination on my application form? Generally,
the holder of a Canadian Immigrant Visa may land at any port of entry in Canada
without difficulty. This is not the case, however, in the Province of Quebec,
due to its exclusive right to select immigrants. If, in your application for permanent
residence, you declared an intended destination in Canada outside Quebec, then
landing in Quebec may be problematic. Likewise, you may be asked to land in Quebec
if your intended destination in Canada had been indicated as Quebec.
11.5
What should I arrive with when I land in Canada? You must have your valid
passport and your valid Canadian Immigrant Visa. It will be helpful to have an
inventory of all belongings that you intend to bring in after landing. It's also
a good idea to have evidence of your settlement funds.
11.6
When must my accompanying dependents land? Accompanying dependents cannot
land before the principal applicant has landed. The accompanying dependents should
land with the principal applicant or after the principal applicant, but in either
case prior to the expiry date indicated on their Canadian Immigrant Visas.
