Hello, I moved to Canada as an international student in 2018 and became a PR in early 2020. I am thinking of changing my first name but I could not find a lot of resources to read about what the implications might be, so I am relying to this community to help me figure it out. I have some...

Canada Post messed up the delivery of my passport and CoPR. Took a bit of time to get them to deliver to my place yesterday. I went to 1000 island bridge and did flag pole there. US custom: ok not as welcoming as Canadian custom. It took 30 mins at US border and 5 mins at Canadian border to...

My passport has reached Toronto but they haven't delivered it to my home yet. I am also planning to do flag poling at 1000 island tomorrow if I have my passport and CoPR back today. Do you wanna get on a call to discuss how we can prepare for the flag poling?

I am wondering if I can take greyhound/ megaus to Kingston and Uber to the bridge, then walk between US/ CA border office? I do not have a car so this is the question that I am trying to seek clarity before I can go. Thank you.

Hi all - I will receive my CoPR soon and am planning to do flag pole at Niagara Falls Rainbow Bridge. I have a couple of questions hope you can help. 1. I plan to go there Monday evening, stay in an airbnb, and then walk to the rainbow bridge Tuesday morning to do flag pole. Does walking...

Congrats! I called in today. The agent said visa and CoPR were printed. They will ship them in the next 48 - 72 hours lol Why do they even wait to ship it out.

Yep! That's a good idea. I need to call to check. Also, I have to be there the night before so that I can be one of the earliest people. They dont accept a lot for each day.

If I have my passport and CoPR back this week, I will do landing next week. I heard Rainbow bridge only accept flag poling Tuesday to Thursday :(

Toronto. You will get it tomorrow morning first thing. How are you planning to do landing? Flag poling? Where?

Congrats!! Which city are you in? My tracking is not activated yet.

Seems like IRCC's delivery partner only picks up once or twice a week. It's already Wednesday so likely they will pick it up today or tomorrow. I read a a couple of pages in this thread and this is the impression that I got. Most people have their tracking number activated Thursday morning...

Please let us know as soon as your tracking number is activated. I will do the same too. Thanks bud!
