Hi,

Y'day I did landing process at Niagara (US/Canada boarder). It was quite easy process.

The process steps are as under (it was suggested by Canadian visa officer at border):
1) After reaching Niagara fall take a walk on 'Rainbow bridge' there is a separate pedestrian entry by putting 50 cents per person (keep change with you)
2) reach to US boarder (it's walkable distance), officer will call you while your turn come.
3) They will ask for your passport & visa status. You can say that you are landing immigrant & come for flag polling process & you don't want to take entry in US.
4) They will issue 'Entry refusal document' (this will not affect your US travel history).
5) Come back to Canada border & submit Passport, Confirmation of PR (both copies), US refusal letter
6) They will give your PP back with landing stamp on it & a copy of COPR (the one without photo) with PR date mentioning of it.

Entire process took 1 hr. maximum.
The only thing is, my WP landing date (first landing date) is not mentioned anywhere on COPR.

Congratulations.

I did re-entry at local office. In my COPR first landing date was not mentioned (blank), when I told officer about it, then she checked location and date on my passport and mentioned by hand.

Very detail about education and working experience, just along what I filled in the resume.About 90 minutes.

Hi dear

Are you in Canada now a days on work permit or still in your native country (Hong Kong)........

i am really shocked that you are the first guy who is called for interview as no one called interview after final nomination or after coming in Canada on work permit.



Any how , best of luck for PPR request........

I got work permit on in April 2013, but I didn't leave for Canada. I was chosen for an interview in Nov, 2013.Until now I am still in China. I plan to arrive in Canada on PR in June.

They have almost finalized your application, however they will change the status after visa stamping or generating COPR document for you.

Thank u once again O_Canada!! for the precise information . You are awesome ... However, its a week but NDVO has not yet responded to my request of file transfer. How long do they take? We have to submit passports by June 14th & days are running out. If they don't agree we'll have to book last minute tickets & moreover getting leave is a big big problem at the moment for me.

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to do short landing from US and I've some questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm planning to go and stay in Canada for 4 weeks and apply PR card in urgency. I checked on the CIC website that I can request PR card in urgency if stay is greater than 3 weeks. Then I'll go back to US and stay for 6mth-1yr and then permanently move to Canada. I'll leave my spouse in Canada and she will look for a job and I'll move when possible.

My question is it possible? Has anyone done like this?
PR Card: In case they are not able to send my PR card in 4 weeks. Can it cause any kind of problem? Is there any chance that they call again for something like signature, photos or any other reason? My wife will stay back so she can bring my PR card to me. But since it is a single entry visa I'm a little worried.
Is it possible to enter Canada from US without the PR card. Checking the CIC website it seems we can enter Canada based on COPR record if we enter in our private vehicle. Although, meaning of private vehicle is not very clear. should the vehicle be in my name etc. has anyone done this?

Settling 6yh-1yr after landing: I'm planning to permanently move after 6mth-1yr of landing. Can it cause any kind of problems? I don't want to loose PR for 1yr stay in US.

thanks. Can

Hi Rane,

You are welcome , I am happy that I am able to help you and other members of this forum. I have learnt a lot from this forum and its my moral responsibility to give back to the community where I received knowledge when I was in need.

In my case I sent that request to Colombo, Srilanka VO. They took around 5 days to reply me back. I think in my case file was kind of completed and no other document / proecssing was pending , only visa stamping and COPR issuing was pending. I think in your case they asked for FBI clearance and Information regarding your stay in USA etc so may be some processing is pending on your file before finalizing it ???? I Know your Home country VO is NDVO, Is you file getting processed by NDVO or Srilanka VO ? If you got PPR request from Srilanka VO then you should send this file transfer request to Srilanka VO.

Some people I know in this forum, sent similar requests last year to their VO and they did not get any reply back , so they had to contact their local MP's office in Canada and MP's office sent a follow up request on the Applicant's behalf , then their file was transferred to Canada for Visa stamping. May be I was lucky that my file was transferred without any intervention from MP's office. I thought may be CIC has made a provision for people residing in North America to have their file transferred to Canada for finalization. May be send a follow up request e-mail once again , if they do not respond then think about plan B i.e how to send your passports to NDVO VO in India.

Thanks.

Application received means that application process is not started yet. In process means that they have started looking into your documents for making decision either approved or rejected.

Hi,
Does anyone know how long usually the background process takes? I was a part of this FSW pilot back in 2012 and went thru the whole process of applying to PR under PNP. All my submission are done including my medicals as well as the PCCs (last one submitted sometime back in Sept 2013). Since then have been waiting.. When asking the High comm, it has the same response, "Your application is still waiting for background check results and will update you shortly" (last msg was more than 2 months back !) . Are there others on this forum in this same situation? Or most ppl got their PPR by now ?
I applied thru Delhi but my file was transferred to Colombo.

Thanks
