Thanks Garvo Gujarati, Tammudu and Mr.Massood, I had followed your advice, obtained my Finger prints both from FBI and NY State and submitted them to CHC, NEW DELHI. I've already submitted my families passports on 9th June 2003. CHC has asked me for my our new photos and prood of liquid funds on 25th June 2003. These have also reached them on 30th June 2003.
Hope that they would stamp our passports shortly and send us by middle of this month. How long does CHC, Delhi take for stamping the passports?
I plan to land alone by end of August 2003 and settle down, and then would request my family to follow. They would land and go back to India, and join me by mid 2004, as my children would finish school in India.
My Question for Advice is as follows:
As per my requirement I'm required to show Canadian Dollars of
17, 289.00 for a family of 4. If I land first with my family to follow, should I carry CAD 17,289.00 or should I carry the CAD 10,000 + for myself and mention at the point of entry that the balance would be brought by my family when they follow.
Suppose I need to carry the full CAD 17,000 + while I enter alone, does my family (wife and 2 kids) need to carry the further CAD 7,000 once again while they land ?
Your valuable advice is highly appreciated as I will be able to plan my finances accordingly.
Incidentally I have a few FBI finger printing forms to spare in Chennai, India for any body requiring the same.
Regards,
Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada

- WISER TO CARRY THE FUNDS YOURSELF SINCE YOU ARE THE PRINCIPAL APPLICANT AND THE SETTLEMENT FUNDS REQUIREMENT ATTACHES TO YOU NOT YOUR DEPENDENTS.

I think it varies by the case.

Only you need to show the proof, as you are the primary applicant.
NOTE : One more thing, what's date of your medicals?
B'cos the visa will be valid one year from that date.
For example if you completed medicals on Sep 02, then all your family have to land by Sep 03. (that's going to be visa expiry date)

If you plan to land in Ontario, then the Health insurance won't be covered for first 3 months. The schools start here in September.
One more thing, when you plan to land whatever you bring along with you, make a GOODS TO FOLLOW and GOODS TO ACCOMPANYING WITH US documents. Make 2 copies.
GOODS TO FOLLOW( you will bring them later, but valid within one year from your date of entry)
Description----------Model------------Serial No.-------Category---$CDN
Pansasonic DVD-RV-31 AXDFDFAS Electronics 100
DVD Player
...
...
GOODS TACCOMPANYING WITH US (the goods with you when you land)
Description----------Model------------Serial No.-------Category---$CDN
CLOTHES .........................................................Household 100
.....................................................................Items TOYS
BOOKS
...
If your wife plan to bring the jewelry in the future, then take photographs of all the jewelry and show them to the customs officials. They will stamp on back of them and returned back to you. This is useful just in case if they stop you in the future, you can show the proof that you brought them via GOODS TO FOLLOW or GOODS ACCOMPANYING WITH US.
All the best.
I did the same thing as you think. You can bring about 60% C$10000 is enough. Remaining money can be brought by you family when they arive.
I brought 50% money required.
Yogesh,
Aren't law changed now?
