How do Canadian immigrants go through the landing procedures?

Canadian immigrants generally enter Vancouver, and those who fly directly to Toronto enter Toronto. Those who go to Vancouver or other cities but change planes in Vancouver all go through the landing formalities at Vancouver Customs and pass the customs inspection. After completing the entry and landing procedures, after passing the customs inspection, go to the relevant counter to check in, and check the baggage according to the instructions of the airport staff at that time.

The immigration officer is mainly to verify your immigration qualification, check your passport and immigrant visa, and check the contents of the visa with you item by item. After checking everything, you will be asked to sign. Then immigration officials will sign it. Only after the immigration officer signs your visa, the immigration visa will become an immigration paper and become your valid identification in Canada in the future.

Landing is a procedure that every friend who applies to immigrate to Canada must go through. If there are any unprincipled mistakes on your immigration paper, this is your last chance to correct them.

New immigrants must apply for a permanent resident card when entering the country, which is part of the immigration procedure. If you can't provide your residence address when you enter the country, please inform the immigration processing center of your address as soon as possible after relocation. The most convenient way is to use the form given by the immigration officer when entering the customs, fill in the address, and fax it directly to the Maple Leaf Card Processing Center according to the fax number given on the form.

After all the formalities are completed, he or she will say "welcome to Canada" and formally welcome you to Canada. At this point, your landing process is complete.

In addition, as a new immigrant to Canada, all personal property and luggage brought in when landing are tax-free. So you must declare that you are a new immigrant. If you have luggage by sea or other means besides your carry-on luggage, you must declare it when you enter the customs, and the customs official will give you a declaration form for you to make a list.

If you want to send your children to public primary and secondary schools, you can contact the education management department under the Education Bureau near your place of residence. Admission to public schools in Canada is completely free, and parents only need to pay for extra services and outings provided by some schools.

If there is a good school near your residence, you can consult the school directly and go through the admission procedures. Generally speaking, primary school students (including kindergarten to seventh grade) must attend the school closest to home, walk or take the school bus to school; Middle school students can choose to study in different places according to their educational needs.

Canadian immigrants need to bring the following documents when applying for children's enrollment:

1, the child's birth certificate;

2. Immigration documents;

3. Passport;

4, medical and vaccination records;

5. School education and related records.

Canada's education system ensures that all school-age children have books to read, and all children aged 5 ~ 16 must go to school according to regulations. As an immigrant country, ordinary primary and secondary schools in Canada are quite experienced in teaching new immigrant children, and they also know how to make these students spend the adaptation period when they first arrive in Canada easily and happily. There are also special schools and classes for students with special requirements or special help.

If your children are proficient in English, they can be put into regular classes directly. For students whose mother tongue is not English, the children of new immigrants often have language difficulties when they enter school. The school has set up a special ESL (English as a second language) class, which is trained by full-time teachers. The main purpose of this course is to concentrate on memorizing English, while taking into account the study of other courses. Some children transfer to their own classes after a transition period of several months.

Of course, if children want to go to private schools, they have to pay tuition fees, and those preschool children under the age of 5 have to pay even if they only attend classes for a few hours a week.

Regardless of public schools or private schools, all children over the age of 5 must enter preschool classes in kindergartens, begin to receive formal education, and then go to primary and secondary schools until the twelfth grade to complete the whole secondary education. In addition to classes, the school also organizes games, sports competitions and other activities. Activities such as school clubs are usually organized after school.
