Re-Entry for people who are already in Canada

[sunnyray90]

Hi all,

I have a question and appreciate if any one of you can provide some information. We are already in canada for last three years and currently we are very close to get our PR. Do we have to go outside the country to get our PR status after getting our VISA? If yes, any suggestion regarding which one will be the close border from Regina?

Any response will be appreciated...

No, you can "land" at an office inside of Canada. Call CIC to arrange this.

Thanks Baloo for your quick response. Any one here have done same in recent past? any info will be appreciated. I did some googling and seems like there is waiting time of 1/2 moths to get a date with local CIC office and always we have to go through CIC call center which is some time very hard to catch hold of...

The way you describe things is about right.

There are advantages and disadvantages to all paths. But, I guess that waiting another month or two is not a lot, if you have been in Canada for three years.
