Typically, when responding to queries on the system, there is an inquiry about possessing over $10,000 CAD. If you affirm this, further questions will follow by the agent. However, based on the collective experiences of myself, friends, and family, we have never been prompted to provide evidence of the amount or disclose specific financial details if the response is negative.

My parents came to Canada as visitors without any issues. The most important thing is that your visa is valid during your stay. Authorities understand that people can be in the process of obtaining a new status while holding another. For example, I applied for permanent residency (PR), left Canada with a work permit, returned, and then received my PR. So, as long as you are respecting the laws, there's no need to worry. If questioned as a newcomer, simply state that you are a visitor. Avoid deep conversations. You can mention that you are visiting your husband and plan to return, and if you receive your PR, you will come back to Canada in the future.
Many! Language , gates are far be prepared to walk 1.2 km to customs if arriving from US. Lineups at customs, lineups at secondary immigration , if it’s summer you will have a tough time getting transportation . If arriving at airport traffic is unbearable in the afternoons. Airport is infested with mice. The stench from bags with food that are lying there for days is nauseating.
Passports of immigrants are not stamped, except for the initial arrival process. During this stage, the first officer may ask specific questions if they notice any noteworthy information in the answers provided on the paper obtained from the automated machine, where you fill out the questionnaire independently. Once you reach the immigration office, you only need to present the necessary documents. The officials will primarily focus on locating your PR card or permit, which they have already received before your arrival. Additionally, they may provide informational flyers from organizations that aid immigrants in learning French and integrating into society.

No there isn't. At any time. After the stage of the machine where you scan your passport and answer the questions, as a newcomer, the system will not detect you. At the next stage, they will direct you to the immigrant area, you will wait your turn with other people, then they will give you your residence card or your study or work permit.
@@kamleshchand5414, It takes about 15 minutes to wait in line, 5 minutes to answer questions in the machine, 3 minutes to talk to the agent who just checks the printed sheet. So, if this is your first time and you are a new immigrant, the immigration service takes between 15 and 45 minutes depending on how many people are waiting.

Sorry to hear that 🙁, I've never paid attention to that, but there must be a solution.
Hello!! About the money, do officials ask you to show cash or do they focus on credit cards ?

How long did the whole process take from immigration to baggage claim ?
Depending on how many people arrive before you, so at least 1h
Hello! What is your entry in Canada? Mine is through ETA and it will be my first time in Canada.
My first was as international Student, but they are all the same

You're welcome! There won't be any issues as your documents (student visa/study permit) are in order.

What are some of the questions asked by the immigration officer before your passport was stamped?
Passports of immigrants are not stamped, except for the initial arrival process.

Yeah, it's too fast especially it's not your first time in Canada
Do you still need to fill in arrivecan before entering canada ?
NOPE
Thanks, are there specific timing ⏱️ where there is a support desk for new immigrants ?
No there isn't. At any time. After the stage of the machine where you scan your passport and answer the questions, as a newcomer, the system will not detect you.

The staff at this airport make it Extremely, clear that they do not like immigrants, or people that don’t speak French Canadian. This is a fact.
