WHAT THIS VIDEO SHOWS:
Video shows my personal International travel to YYC Calgary Canada, how I answered questions, and additional Qs asked by Canada Border Services Officers / Immigration and Customs officers. I declared the value of gifts incorrectly (by mistake) and got sent for secondary inspection! .. video shows how to find your luggage.

ARRIVAL PROCESS:
All travelers arriving in Canada have to answer questions about them and their trip. This process is now automated at all major Canada airports (ports of entry) and done by the Primary Inspection Kiosk machine that you see in the video. The machine asks the following:

* Qs about you and country of residence
* Purpose & duration of your trip
* Scan your passport
* Asks Questions about your health
* Duty Free allowance,
* Value of EACH gift you are bringing
* Total Currency you have in Canadian Dollars

When all questions are answered, the automated machine prints out a paper report based on your answers that we take to the Border Services Officer (Canada Immigration Officer) who decides whether a Secondary Screening (additional questioning by a Border Services officer) is needed.

My suggestions:
* Declare correct value of your gifts
* Be honest in answering questions
* Be friendly
* Provide exact answers don't be vague
* Don't give long answers or unnecessary details that immigration / customs officer did not ask


SECONDARY SCREENING
Secondary is typically a simple straight forward process where the officer wants to know what brings the traveler to Canada, duration of stay (tourism, visit friends or family, work, or permanent immigration see below) , who we are going to meet here or stay with. Based on the answers they would either stamp the passport and you are okay to go, OR, they take us to separate room for even more detailed onetoone interview typically this happens when the border Services office cannot Quickly decide on what to do and they need they are not satisfied with the answers the traveler provided initially.

CANADA PERMANENT RESIDENTS ARRIVAL
If you are received Canadian Immigration Permanent Resident visa and this is your first time arrival in Canada, there are special papers and documents that the immigration officer will need to see and verify much more detail vs a tourist. Therefore, they will take you to special section of the airport with special seating area and immigration officers who will review your Permanent Resident status and paperwork. Don't worry and don't be alarmed when they take you to a separate section it is normal handling for Canada Immigration.

The immigration officer will verify the address you are going to / will be staying at, and the funds you have. Your Canadian Permanent Resident Card will be sent to the address you provide. It takes a few weeks to receive it therefore be sure to provide an address you will stay for a few weeks.

ADDRESS IN CANADA PERMANENT RESIDENTS:
For anyone arriving new in Canada the first few months are super important because that is when you receive in mail all the important documents needed for life in Canada. Social Insurance Card (SIN Card), Health Canada Card, Drivers Licenses, Bank Card, Debit Card, etc. So please try to keep your address the same at least for the first few months in Canada. Until you get all these important cards don't move away from that address.
