Essential Documents
When you travel to Canada, you will need to have the following documents
with you:
- a Canadian immigrant visa and Confirmation of Permanent Residence for
each family member travelling with you;
- a valid passport or other travel document for each family member travelling
with you;
two copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you
are bringing with you; and
- two copies of a list of items that are arriving later.
Note:
The lists should state how much your personal and household items are worth.
Tip:
- Make two copies of these lists - one for you to keep and one for the Canada
Customs officer. You can get the Canada Border Services Agency form for
this purpose
from the Internet at www.cbsaasfc. gc.ca/e/pbj/cf/b4/.
- You must also bring with you enough money to cover living expenses such
as
rent, food, clothing and transportation for a six-month period. You may
be asked to
show proof of your funds.
Do not pack your documents in a suitcase. You will
need to have them available to show
to immigration and customs officials.
