Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Pan Zhengxi from Aohua, Henan. Some of my clients have never been abroad before, and now they have applied for immigration to Canada, especially for skilled immigrants. As soon as the employer's invitation letter was sent out, the whole person became uncontrollable and often asked me about the preparations before landing. Now I will give you a comprehensive answer to this series of questions:

The first thing to prepare is the children's affairs. If there are children at home who need to go to primary and secondary schools, they should prepare vaccination certificates, school transcripts, birth notarization and other documents with English translation; If you are a high school graduate, you'd better have IELTS scores. With IELTS scores, children can apply directly to Canadian universities before arriving in Canada; Children with poor English scores can apply for language schools with IELTS scores first, and then go to famous schools such as UBC and SFU by transferring credits later. Parents should be reminded that children must be present in person to register with the Education Bureau, but only parents can't register for their children.

If you plan to take more money to Canada when you land for the first time, it is suggested to open an account with a receipt letter or immigration landing paper in the branches of major Canadian banks in China in advance, so that you don't have to carry a lot of cash around. After arriving in Canada, go directly to the bank used to activate the account. At present, BMO Manhattan Bank, RBC Royal Bank, CIBC Imperial Bank, TD-TD Bank and HSBC have branches in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Before landing, you need to apply for a certificate that there is no claim record for driving in China, and you can enjoy a 15% discount on Canadian auto insurance every year and a 60% discount on the upper limit. Due to the large number of people who issued the certificate in the past, the Canadian Automobile Insurance Bureau often evaluates the certificate overseas. Therefore, when issuing this certificate, it should follow the format required by the Canadian Automobile Insurance Bureau. Whoever opens his name can enjoy the insurance discount, and the husband and wife cannot use it interchangeably.

There are also many new immigrants who ask us what we need to take to Canada. In the past, when domestic prices were not high, you could bring more. Now the situation is different. The prices of daily necessities in Canada and the United States are not high, so you can buy them in Canada. The underwear, T-shirts and coats that Vancouver often wears are much cheaper than those in China, and the familiar CK and HM in China are also much cheaper than those in China. Canadian furniture is not very expensive either. When it comes to carry-on luggage, our experience is: medicine, stationery and bedding. As for medicines, it is recommended to bring some commonly used medicines such as Zhengchaihu Granules, Vc Yinqiao Tablets, Berberine, Cool Oil, dyclonine, Tin Powder, etc. Be careful of antibiotics. The customs does not welcome such drugs to enter the customs. Stationery and bedding are still domestic and cheaper than foreign ones.
