For new permanent residents preparing for their first landing at a Canadian port of entry, applicants recommend bringing all of the following rather than guessing which ones you'll be asked for:
- Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) — your official approval document.
- Proof of funds — evidence of the settlement funds you declared in your application.
- Medical exam records — documentation of your upfront medical exam.
- Police Certificate/Clearance (PCC) — the certificate(s) submitted during your application.
The general advice from experienced applicants is to keep all of your original application documents accessible (not packed away in checked luggage) when landing, since a border services officer can ask to see any of them during your landing interview.
