Re: Anyone flying Air Canada 5th March Heathrow??

Sort of advice a mum would give to a six year old?

Re: Landing as Permanent Residents

When I landed the guy asked me how much funds I had, I picked a rough figure out of the air, and he noted it down: he didn't ask to see any documents. Quite informal really. Relaxed.

Re: IMM 5292 - what does it look like?

The 5292 is the annoying A4 sized carbon copy sheet they stapled to a page in your passport, entitled "CONFIRMATION OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE".
