Entry-exit information

Canadian entry inspection

Anyone who is going to enter Canada, whether he is a permanent resident or citizen of Canada, a foreign student, a tourist or a new immigrant, must go through immigration inspection. Therefore, for those who will enter Canada, it is very important to understand the operation process of entry inspection in Canada, reduce avoidable troubles and save the time of entry inspection.

The so-called entry inspection refers to the inspection of entry personnel set by a country at its entry ports (including land ports, airports and seaports), which mainly includes the legality inspection of entry status of entry personnel and the legality inspection of articles carried.

General procedures for entry inspection

Immigration inspection in Canada includes first-level inspection and second-level inspection. The inspection process is the process that the Canadian entry customs inspector determines whether the entry applicant is allowed to enter Canada. The first-class immigration inspector consists of customs officials representing Canada's immigration, customs, agriculture, security and other departments. If the first-level entry inspection confirms that a person has the right or permission to enter the country, it is not necessary to enter the second-level inspection office. The second-level immigration inspector is mainly composed of immigration officials and customs officials.

The problem of first-level entry inspection is based on the principle of determining the identity and personal situation of the applicant as quickly and effectively as possible, including six main issues:

1, asking about nationality (What is your nationality? )

2. Ask for the address (where do you live? Or where do you live? )

3. ask about the reason for entering Canada (what is your purpose of going to Canada? )

4. Ask if it is possible to find a job in Canada (do you want to be employed in Canada? Or are you looking for a job in Canada? )

5. Ask about your stay in Canada (how long are you going to stay in Canada? Or how long are you going to stay in Canada? )

6. Ask your name (What's your name? What's your last name? )

Persons who need to enter the second-level entry inspection.

Because the time for the first-level entry inspection is very limited, the first-level entry inspector can only make a simple inquiry and inspection of the applicant, otherwise it will hinder the advancement of the entry team. Therefore, some entry personnel who need detailed inspection according to regulations must be sent to the second-level entry inspection.

The questions asked in the second-level entry inspection and the materials reviewed mainly include the following basic aspects:

1, immigration status (what's your last name and first name? )

2. What is your nationality? Or which country are you a citizen of? )

3. the address of the immigrant (where do you live? Or where is your permanent home? )

4. What's the purpose of your visit to Canada? How long are you going to stay in Canada? What is your destination in Canada? Are you going to look for a job in Canada? Are you going to study in Canada? )

5. How much money do you have? Can you show me your ticket? How much money did you bring to Canada? )

6. History and Family of Immigrants (What is your occupation? Are you married? Are you going to visit relatives or friends in Canada? Do you have any relatives or friends in Canada? )

7. Background of immigrants (Have you ever had any health problems? Have you ever been to court for any reason? Have you ever been convicted of breaking the law or committing a crime? Have you ever been refused entry to Canada for any reason? Have you ever been deported from Canada for any reason? )
