Well I missed reading it but it says on the form "Have you, or, if you are the principal applicant, any of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever " I just realized it today when someone asked question relating to it. I have mentioned her rejection on her schedule A but not mine.

Now is that okay or do I need to write them a webform?

I think you are fine since you mentioned it on her own schedule A form, but no harm in sending an updated one via webform. You'd probably get your PPR before they look at it anyways .

That would be just great! July 2020 AOR. Can't wait for it to end.

I have been to thailand for 1 week around 2015, do I need to declare that in address history in schedule A form.

I don't remember whether i have declared it while lodging file

Any suggestions would be of highly appreciable

Thanks in advance

If within 5 years it should have been in your travel history. The address history documents where you lived while you studied, worked, etc.

Meanwhile in India.

Couple in India sue son for not giving them a grandchild

Really hoping the parents lose, waste more money in legal proceedings, and end up having to pay damages.

Alright, so the plan so far for soft landing:

1. Land in Canada. Give friend's address on PR card.
2. Get SIN number in the next couple of days, if not in Service Canada counter at the airport.
3. Get Bank account sorted and order a credit card at the same address. Credit card will help me establish a credit rating by the time I land next time.
4. Also get a UPS mail box which provides me a real address in Canada for receiving mail while I am not there. They can also ship internationally or a local address that I choose.
5. Get back to my home country and wait for PR card and credit card to arrive
6. Profit

After that I should be able to return to Canada in my own time with a job and an established credit rating. After that I can get a car and my own place without much hassle, I think.

What else should I look into? Have I overlooked anything?

You're technically not allowed to ship PR card internationally by mail. If Canadian customs see it, they might seize it. So, not sure what your friend would declare when shipping it. I'd advise PRTD when traveling and collecting it from your friend (or if your friend comes to India, he can bring it).

What if someone brings it with them in their suitcase?

Edit: Okay, read the last part of the sentence.

Very unlikely they'll check for it. But still technically seizable at Canada customs. Once they get on the plane, there won't be any issues after that.

Bro,
1. you cannot enter Canada on a PR card that you did not exit with. You need to get a PRTD.
2. Get SIN in the couple of days? Your optimism is admirable .
I needed to change my SIN from temp to permanent,. I called in March to book. The earliest appointment I could get is in June and they are not taking walk-ins. Only other option was to apply online which takes min 20 days. That is your best bet. If you already have your COPR, you can apply whilst outland, and give your friend's address.

Can you elaborate why not? AFAIK, exits are tracked directly from flight data (or US entry point data) using passport numbers.

I am really not sure. I agree with you that technically, all one needs to leave the country is their passport, but I've been told you cannot come in with your PR card if your last exit date is prior to your card issuance date.

If someone can bring your PR card for you (or securely ship it), why does IRCC insist on PRTD then?

 

[oinkario]

@stirredo Personally I would not take any chances with soft landing or PRTD. Being rejected of some country’s equivalent of PRTD is one critical reason that I came to this forum (or my 2nd immigration process) in the first place. (I did find wonderful people and memes here, but still)

I have multiple close family members in that country. And I was sponsoring my spouse to get PR there. Yet officers reviewing my PRTD-equivalent said I didn’t intend to live there lol. Oh wow.

Alas, that was the past. The moral is don’t take these chances unless you absolutely have to. I took it to be with my spouse and got screwed by covid. A certificate IMO is never worth it, be it CPA or AWS or PMP. Nobel Prize, now we are talking

This is a bit of grey area right now. It's not explicitly prohibited but not condoned by them either.

Another problem I have run into is credit cards cannot be shipped internationally (even not activated/disabled ones).

So now I am leaning toward someone bringing my cards with me when they come back to my country.
