Keep essential papers accessible
IRCC’s newcomer border guidance identifies passports or travel documents, Confirmation of Permanent Residence and an immigrant visa where applicable. Keep required papers with you during travel. Its guidance also covers lists of accompanying goods and goods arriving later; read the current instructions before departure.
Prepare a family document inventory
Make a separate checklist for each traveller. Record where originals and backup copies are stored, and review whether translations are needed. Keep medical, education and employment records in clearly named folders. Do not treat this short guide as a complete border or customs checklist.
Turn preparation into small tasks
In your tracker, create tasks for checking official instructions, reviewing document names and preparing goods lists. Assign your own dates and mark items complete only after inspecting the actual records. A checked task is your personal note, not confirmation from a border officer.
