Guys, need your advice I have US Visa and I have been gone there twice so thinking about to landing at border. What I am thinking is I will go US and will spend some hours there and come back on same day. Is it good idea ?

So what should I say when I am leaving Canada if officer ask why you are going there ?
And also What should I say at US border when entering there for what purpose I am going to US ?

Sorry for freaking questions, If any one has same experience I would appreciate your inputs.

Thanks.

Sorry

I've seen many forum members write about their own landing experience in different threads. Here's one of them, 3 year's old, but nonetheless still relevant:

Hi guys,
today I became permanent resident of Canada.
first of all, I will never find the right words to express to this forum how thankful I am right now. Great helpers, great atmosphere, great online community!

So this his my landing story:

- Briefly my timeline

Category........: CEC
Visa Office......: CCP-O
App. Filed.......: june 8th 2012
Doc's Request.: N/A
AOR Received.: Oct 25th
IELTS Request: Sent with app
Med's Request: March 2nd 2013
Med's Done....: March 4th 2013
Passport Req..: April 4th 2013
VISA ISSUED...: April 17th 2013
Passport received: April 19th 2013
Landed: April 21st 2013 @ Niagara falls rainbow bridge point of entry.

- Landing Experience:

so I drove to Niagara falls, the weather was gorgeous this Sunday, then I decided to walk off the bridge as pedestrian to land. Why I decided that? I was so confused with all the posts here regarding U-turn or not. At Rainbow bridge there is no U-turn availability. once you pass the bridge entry you have no choice to go and say hi to the USA Immigration officers (IO). So the bridge is next to Casino Niagara. I parked my car in a available paid parking place $5 for the day outside the casino somewhere on Victoria St, 5 mins walk to the bridge. the downtown NF was crowded of tourists. Then I walked to the CBSA building on the Canadian side( next to the casino); the Canadian IO instructed that I cannot land just by entering their building, I must seek entry to Canada coming from a foreign country( in this case the USA) then she(a nice lady) instructed me to cross the bridge and go to the US side to have either an administrative refusal to enter the USA or the I-94 sticker if you have a US-visa. the bridge is only 286 meters so guys please save your gas and some security check of your car and your stuff by the USA IO and walk the bridge. the good point :you have a gorgeous view of the falls. By the way there is a fee $0.50 to cross the bridge that you must pay on the Canadian side.

So when I reached the US building. the guy asked me the reason why I was there, I said I came because I need to exit Canada and re-enter for landing purposes and that they kinda need to give some kind of paper( in my case the I-94). I saw some posts of people saying that those lads were somehow rude. Absolutely not they were actually nice to me, I am not sure if it is because I have my valid US visa though. Anyways the guy was helpful. He took my fingerprints. he asked me where was my last I-94 sticker ...I lost it for some reasons...Anyways I had to pay $6 to have a new one valid for 6 months.

Then I exited the building and came back to the Canadian side. In the CBSA building the booth was crowded of tourists coming from USA that needed to pass the border as well. so I was wondering about how longer I would have waited. Then things went okay! the first IO at the gate asked me usual questions: where were I? do I carry $10000 cash money with me? did I buy goods on the US side? all went good and she called a colleague to advise that a pedestrian was coming inside the building to complete landing and gave a kinda yellow paper saying on it that I was entering to land. Then her colleague made me pass the long waiting line of tourist that cases were different of mine and sent me right away to the immigration booth. at that booth there were just few other people coming to land as well. I waited 5-8 mins to be interviewed by an IO. I presented my work permit, my passport and the COPR document. Then I confirmed my current address where my PR card will be sent. She sent me to seat while she does security verification then 5 mins later she called me back to her booth: -
-She congratulated me to become a new PR;
- she read me my rights as PR.
-she made me sign my COPR
-she instructed me to contact immediately all government level to confirm my status change( CRA, SIN, health card...)
and then asked me If I had questions for her. Well I just asked how long before I receive my PR card...she said 4 to 8 weeks...

then I walked outside and enjoyed the falls before I hit the road back home lol

Then this is my story. thanks again guys.
I will stick around to help out with my experience.

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know how long does it take to get 'Ready for Visa' email after all the criteria are set to pass?

Recently I got an email from CIC (The VO who was looking at my file) saying that my file is ready to be finalized and I should be receiving an email shortly with instructions on how to proceed in order to have my landing papers and visa issued.
But its almost been a week and I did not hear anything. When I called CIC this morning I was told that wait till July and if you dont hear anything call us back :-(

Please advise.

Thanks in Advance.

Landing is still a far-fetched dream. For now all I want is an MR and that will shut me up for a couple of months. =D

Happy landing.

Be positive! Look at my timeline and you will realize, that sometime after MR , things might happen quicker that you might think!

I have a thread here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/share-your-landing-experience-here-t392343.0.html

But too bad, it is not a busy thread..

Anyway, from my experience at Niagara Rainbow bridge, the officers on the US side are already familiar with our purpose of "landing". So, I think just tell them you wanna hang out a bit in the US, and come back to Canada to get your new status. I know a friend that already did that.

I got the Ready for Visa mail today morning (PPR)........

ALHAMDULILAH with the grace of Almighty Finally have got my PPR on yesterday Morning. Was very long wait.......

Hi folks, I got the Ready for Visa mail two weeks ago.......

congrats, guys....

i recently responded to an additional doc request on 22-Jan-16 and got a medical reassessment on 29-Jan-16..... do you guys think the reassessment request is subsequent to my response to the additional doc? or is it just by chance it happens to follow this order?

i am wondering when will I get to a PPR stage... already completed the medical reassessment on 1-Feb-16. thinking of raising a case specific enquiry online since i've exceeded 17mnths from AOR date.... thoughts?

hey tw, Due to request of additional documents, they anticipated your PPR issuance will be on march by then your medical expired. So as per process they cant provide you PPR.
So it is evident that your medical was requested due to this. My guess you should hear back from them only end of this month or till mid of next month.
