LANDED! We went to Buffalo last night (we could land at anytime since NYC had issued the visa). No problems at the border. It took a total of 15mins because he had nothing to land with as we had brought his things here previously.

This morning, however, when speaking with a friend at work he mentioned that you can land IN TORONTO :S He landed several years ago but for those around Toronto you may want to investigate. He said it was by Yonge and St Clair, but since this was a few years ago perhaps the rules have changed.

Thank you for all your support through this process and good luck to everyone waiting on completion!!
Congrats!!!

Congratulations!

I think the landing inside Canada (in Toronto, for example) is for Inland Applications only?

As a matter of fact, that would sound right because if they're in the US they would have to land at one of the borders. Thanks silverbee!

I just got my PPR email, woot woot!

I need to put things together to mail it out tonight!

Question, are the photos to include passport photo size? I don't think I have any left from the process earlier.

No that's not the case. He was also outland from Buffalo and landed at St Clair. Worth checking into if you haven't landed and this may be a more convenient option.

Sidenote: Congrats can_usa!!!! :D

I think thats just the maximum time! They changed the way the site looks and its just stating the mamimum time. I think people will still be getting through just as fast :) Dont worry SaugaBoss you'll be next!

The border guard decided my picture didn't quite fit and she took a new one at the landing. Just a FYI.
