Why a visitor need to carry cash,it not a requirement ..show ur bank card as ur means to support urself And i doubt any officer will ask you to show Bta/Pta ,they may ask how u plan to support urself ."l have my bank card with me amd that l will use" ..simple...na nigeria immigration dey complicate not canada.

Some do ask and I have seen it happen.

one person had to show their current bank statement to support what they said in their application.

Another one had to show cash.

As a visitor be ready for anything.

Remember, it is up to the border agent to allow you in or not.

Please any tips for getting a house in Canada before landing. I have too many little kids so I’d prefer to get a house b4 we travel but I’ve been on Facebook marketplace and Kijiji for over two weeks now and all of them are asking for pay stubs, credit check and the rest, even when I say we can pay 2-3 months in advance. I’ve contacted some agents too, same thing. I need new ideas

Consider renting an Airbnb apartment for a short while. Once you're inside Canada, your chances of getting an apartment for rent will increase since you can now meet the landlord in person.

I like your bold suggestion lol. But nah, i didn't violate any visa terms. I did drop box for renewal back in Lagos and at the port of entry when i wanted to go give birth, the indention was declared and all medical expenses were paid in full before departed.

Did you give birth after 2020?

Gatineau is in Quebec. But some folks live there and work in Ottawa.

I am not sure how OINP works but, I know some provinces requires you to reside in the province for certain amount of years (it is part of the requirements).

You would not want to ruin your immigration plans, would you? Immigrants under PNP are required to reside in the province of choice for a period of time. I do not think it has changed for now.

I lived in Gatineau for 2 years and I don’t speak French. The only complication is when filing taxes, especially if you live in Gatineau and work in Ottawa which can be resolved if you use tax consultant.
