How much foreign currency can I bring to Canada?

When you land in Canada for the first time, you usually need about 10000 USD to prepare enough foreign currency. In most cases, the immigration officer's inquiry at the time of entry is just a routine matter, and you can declare the number of people you are carrying on the relevant documents. Let's talk about how much foreign currency you can bring into Canada.

But there are also immigration officials who spot-check the amount and ignorant people who cause unnecessary trouble because of too few declarations.

China Customs requires a foreign exchange carrying certificate from a provincial bank to carry US dollars in cash. Generally, Bank of China can issue a foreign exchange certificate of $4,000 for each person going abroad, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China can issue a foreign exchange certificate of $5,000 for each person going abroad. For the first time, a family of three can carry 12000 USD.

Frequently asked questions about the entry and exit of new immigrants

1. Will new immigrants cancel their accounts when they leave China?

In the past two years, I haven't heard that new immigrants asked about canceling their accounts when they left China. However, some friends canceled in advance to avoid trouble. If you don't need it, be prepared. If you are not allowed to leave the country, go back and cancel. So, leave some room for yourself and don't get stuck in the last few days of the validity of the immigration paper.

2. What format should I write when the goods declared by Canada enter the customs?

Make a list, indicate the product name, brand and serial number, and copy it into a special form at Canadian Customs. Preparing in advance can greatly reduce the delay time at customs when entering the country. But if you are not ready, you can go to the customs within 14 days after entry.

3. What daily necessities should I bring to Vancouver?

Clothes: There are two main seasons in Vancouver: April -65438+ 10. The climate is very good, not hot, sunny, and the temperature rarely exceeds 30 degrees. 10- April is rainy, but it is rainy, which means it is not too cold, and the temperature occasionally drops below zero. Wear a ski suit (down jacket) in winter and add a sweater at most; Jeans and a pair of cotton trousers are enough for the winter.

Bedding: Soft mattresses are used here, so you usually don't need mattresses, just sheets, quilts and pillows.

Daily necessities: It's more expensive to buy daily necessities here than in China, so it's better to bring some basic personal necessities.

Drugs are expensive, so it is wise to bring some commonly used drugs such as bezoar and isatis root.

You don't need to bring electrical appliances, because the voltage is different, and here it is 1 10V.

Cooking utensils are also expensive, so it is best to bring a pot, a frying spoon and a few simple bowls to meet the needs first, and then gradually add them later.

Books: Don't forget to bring a dictionary and reference books you may use. Books here are very expensive!

4. If the dollar you carry doesn't match the figure when you apply, it will be half less. Will there be a problem going through Canadian customs?

If you can't find a job temporarily, how long can 5000 dollars last? Because insufficient resettlement fee means that you may receive social assistance soon, which is not in line with the principle of skilled migration, so the immigration officer may not let you enter the country. In the past, port immigration officers in Toronto often counted the settling-in expenses of new immigrants, but Vancouver did not. Vancouver sometimes counts recently. For a person, scrimping and saving, but maintaining a life that is not too bad, 5000 dollars can support you 10- 12 months.

5. What are the necessary preparations for going to Canada at home?

The urgent task is to practice the language well. If the language is not good, the boss finds it difficult to deal with you, and even the employment agency doesn't care about you. In addition, it is best to get a driver's license in China, and you can use it when you come. Otherwise, you can't drive here alone for a long time, which is very inconvenient.
