Hi guys,

I'm planning to do my landing next week after walk in stamping in Buffalo.

I have no idea how to do landing at Rainbow Bridge border by Greyhound bus.
Would I be able to do this? What should I need? or I have to do it in Toronto Airport? (As I will be transiting from Toronto back to Halifax after Greyhound)

Can anyone share the experience?

Thanks!!!

You can land by bus.

When you get to the border, everyone will be asked to get off the bus to pass through immigration. When it's your turn to speak with the immigration officer, tell him/her that you are landing and show your visa.

Hi Molson,

I recently got a passport request and plan to do the landing through the bus (greyhound)

I believe you might have done your landing by now.

Could you please share your landing experience through bus?

Friends,
just make sure that you know just in case where the bus stop is located in Fort Erie.
(it is actually 5 min walking from the customs) as i landed by megabus and my bus driver did not wait for me to complete formalities.
From Fort Erie there are several local buses (eg. "CoachCanada") that go to Toronto and you can buy ticket right at the gas station.
