Yea I'm guessing it was scanning the passport to verify PR that triggered the email. Also it was the middle of the night and he probably would have had to jump through some serious hoops to turn me around. I'm guessing my US passport helps in the situation. Anyway, I have my PR card now, so it's...

I boarded in Philly where they just checked my passport. I didn't show them my CoPR, I didn't think they needed to see it. It was just an airport worker checking passports. The first border agent to check my passport was in the Halifax airport where I landed and he didn't seem to care at all...

Hi guys, I recently flew back into Canada after US Thanksgiving with just my COPR and passport, and had no problems at all. I told them I hadn't received my PR card in the mail yet and they let me right in. But today, I got an email from IRCC stating this, among other things, "Our records show...

Reading back over that part of the checklist, I'm a bit confused now too but I'm pretty sure that's where I put our declaration of common law form. (You can find that form online and get it notarized and that is your official proof of your relationship). That form gives you the space to say when...

PR card question: When I did my landing, they gave me a form that said it would take about 3 weeks to get my card in the mail, but the officer told me it would probably be closer to 5 weeks. Did anyone get theirs in 3 weeks time? I'm more than likely traveling back to the states for US...

Sounds exactly like my experience. (Except I said I had been detained but charges were dropped, showed dismissal paper, he asked if I sent that with my application, I said yes, and that was it). So glad it's all over for you! Happy Canada living!

I know the feeling, I alternated crying and laughing for a solid hour when I found out! Now to land and start your lives!

Happened to be sitting at my computer and when I saw the email that you had posted, I KNEW IT! YESSSSS doesn't it feel so so good? I'm so happy for you, my online stranger friend!!! The stress and wait is OVER!

That's pretty much all I sent for me and my boyfriend. I also photocopied the passport pages where we traveled together so maybe you could send the pages with the stamps that you have from visiting each other. Definitely send proof of the bank account. I sent our chat log from OKCupid where we...

When I saw someone who applied 20 days after me go through and then I didn't get approved until 3 weeks after her, in those three weeks I thought it was the end. I thought I was getting denied. I know it's so hard to put it out of your mind, but you have no red flags so you'll more than likely...

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks to everyone that helped with my questions along the way. I landed this morning, drove two minutes down the road to the nearest Service Canada and got my SIN, and going this week to get a health card. I didn't stop smiling the 5 hour drive home :) Speedy...

Landing questions: I know I need the goods declaration form, but I've been temporarily residing in Canada for a while now so I won't be bringing anything in. Do I still bring two filled out but blank copies? And the car I'll be driving is from the US but was officially imported last year, would...

I think you're probably good on the chat log/photo end of it, I would just consider sending any legal things you have that prove it too. Like leases, insurance policies, bank accounts and the like. And thanks for the good wishes on landing! I just keep looking at my CoPR and getting excited to...

Oh whew, thank you. Doing my landing on Monday!

Alright, new question for you guys: just got my CoPR in the mail and under conditions it says must live with sponsor for 2 years then in bold it says "ever been charged/convicted of a crime in any country and refused entry into Canada?" I do have an arrest, charges dismissed, I sent proof of...
