Vancouver Airport Entry Guide, Canada

Actually, Vancouver Airport is one of the major airports for China people to travel to and from Canada, so there are many new immigrants. However, after disembarking, you may need to prepare an entry guide. I also compiled the entry guide for Vancouver Airport in Canada for you.

Step 1: After boarding the plane

Regardless of international status, everyone must fill in the form and Canadian customs declaration form every time they enter Canada, including:

Name (first and last name), date of birth, country (nationality), home address (home address), as well as the way you came to Canada (way of arrival) and the purpose of coming to Canada (travel).

Length of stay in Canada.

In this section, there will be some information about the items you are carrying, and you will be asked if you are carrying any items that exceed the specified weight or value. You can ask the staff on the plane for the specific value, and they will help you answer it.

Step 2: Get off the plane.

Before you get off the plane, you should make preparations in advance:

Passport.

Entry declaration form E-3 1 1 (please fill in the stay time corresponding to the air ticket, not 6 months).

Confirmation letter of reservation provided by the hotel (if applicable).

Travel itinerary and registration information provided by the travel agency (if applicable).

Vancouver map, scenic spots brochure, etc.

Step 3: Line up in the lobby.

After preparing the above documents, follow the signs and line up in the arrival hall. The signs at Vancouver Airport are basically bilingual in English, French and Chinese.

Go upstairs, go downstairs and turn around a few times. When you see two huge totem poles in the picture below, it means that you have arrived at the arrival hall. There is a sign at the entrance of the hall, indicating where to line up. Among the "Canadian tourists".

In the process of queuing, passengers will pass through the "contraband handling box" to facilitate passengers to discard contraband before entry inspection and avoid unnecessary punishment. Contraband includes:

All kinds of meat, eggs, plants, vegetables and fruits.

All kinds of illegal goods include: guns, drugs, dangerous goods, etc.

A family cannot carry more than 1 10,000 Canadian dollars in cash.

Step 4: Select the channel.

Then go ahead, there will be four types of channels in front, they are:

Canadian citizens or permanent residents with maple leaf cards (including self-service entry automated borders).

Canadian passenger passage

The passage of new immigrants, workers or international students

diplomatic channel

In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can always communicate with volunteers and ask for help (volunteers wear light green or light blue vests).

Step 5: Customs enquiry

At the first customs window (CBSA-the first discussion point) after the passage is selected, CBSA, that is, customs officials, will ask a series of questions to immigrants. Traditionally, CBSA officials' questions will include: the purpose of coming to Canada, the place of residence in Canada, and how much money to carry. Remember not to show nervousness or panic because of the language barrier, just answer calmly. If you are too nervous or flustered, CBSA officials can easily misunderstand and be subjected to strict inspection.

Note: If there are language barriers, please ask CBSA to provide translation services. The translation service counter is at the second discussion point in the CBSA window, and the translation service is completely free.
