On Arrival

• The expiry date of the Letter of Introduction will be clearly indicated and it must be presented at a Port of Entry on or before its expiry. This date cannot be altered, extended or changed under any circumstances. You cannot transfer your Letter of Introduction to any other person or name.

• Present your Letter of Introduction and passport to the Port of Entry Officer.

• Present evidence of AU$4000 (or the foreign currency equivalent) in available funds. This may be in the form of travellers' cheques, cash, or a bank or credit card statement in your name showing a balance of at least $4000.  You must carry this evidence with you or you may forfeit your chance to be issued a 24 month stay in Canada. If you are entering Canada on a one-way ticket, you should have evidence of additional funds to show that you can pay for a ticket to leave Canada at the end of your stay. It can be a return ticket or onward ticket out of Canada.

• Present evidence of insurance coverage.

• If the Port of Entry Officer is satisfied that your entry is not contrary to the Immigration and Refuge Protection Act and Regulations, a work permit will be issued.

• Check your Work Permit carefully.  Make sure you understand all the information on it. Check the date of expiry on the Work Permit - if you think there is a mistake, immediately ask the officer who issued it to you.  It is your responsibility to check your Work Permit thoroughly at the time it is printed.
