Where to land in Vancouver (we are already in Vancouver)?

[pranovic]

Hi guys,

Thanks for reading my questions. We live in Vancouver and we are getting our permanent residence visa back from the "passport request". We are wondering where and how to land exactly since YVR is definitely not an option. People told us to go to the US boarder (Blaine?). So here are the questions:
(1) We don't have to cross the boarder to the US side, right?
(2) We can drive to this CBSA/ASfc Douglas HWY building on the 176 street (north bound), right?
(3) Where do we park then?   
(4) Do we just go into this "Boarder crossing" building and tell them we need to land?

Many thanks for these stupid questions! Any input will be greatly appreciated!

1.  If you go to either Douglas or the Pacific Hwy crossings, you must approach the US side and get an administrative rejection before return to the Canadian side to "land".
2.  You can phone 1-888-242-2100 and make an appt. to "land" at CIC Vancouver.  about 4-6 week wait.
