Hello, It's great that you were able to cross the border without being reported. Can you expand a bit on what do you mean by "strategically choosing time to cross the border"? Did you chose a specific month/day/date/time? I'm in similar situation and your advice would be helpful. Thanks

is your pr card valid or expired?

I really hate for this to be true. But I have lived on this planet for more than 3 decades and I think I have a general idea of how biased humans can be. I speak this as a brown immigrant living in America. On paper - racism is outlawed. On paper. That's the keyword. Hell, I've experienced more...

Glad to know that it went smoothly for you. However, I can't help but wonder if you had a passport of a country that requires a visa to travel to Canada. Also, not to be racist or anything, but I think the probability of being sent to secondary increases exponentially if you're not the right...

I have another question with regards to the PRTD - What happens if a PRTD is approved (due to medical reasons etc., after an appeal)? - Is the RO clock reset? Does the PR get 5 more years to comply with RO? Can they apply for a new PR card?

Just preparing for the scenario of being able to sustain myself in case I'm unable to find a job, looking at the Canadian job market which is very saturated in Tech and economy is also not that great.

Other than dividend paying stocks, (which, if I calculate at 5-10% annual dividend, would need anywhere from $500K - $1M invested - obviously I don't have that much), I cannot think of any other passive income source. Were you referring to something else? Also, I am in my mid thirties and...

I just took some time off to understand the living expenses and calculate how much money I would need to save to live without a job for a year. In order to continue my current US lifestye as a single guy in Canada. And I was absolutely blown away by how EXPENSIVE it really is to live up there...

I'm not sure I understand your point. Did you mean to say that arriving with a trailer full of goods and displaying an intention to move permanently INCREASES the odds IN-FAVOR of being questioned and reported OR does it DECREASE the odds of being questioned in secondary and reported?

Thank you all for the inputs. Can I get any recommendations for good lawyers? I would like to discuss my situation and get some legal advice. I know this forum's owner is one, however more recomnedations would be helpful.

Thanks Besram, I had a few follow up questions - 1. In the event that I'm reported at the border, will the officer confiscate and/or destroy my expired PR card, or do I get to keep it as is? 2. Can I be reported ONLY IF referred to secondary? Meaning that, I cannot be reported WITHOUT going...

Thank you for your inputs. I really appreciate it. I will prepare a draft of my situation to bring along when I cross the border. I have searched on this forum and find quit a lot of useful information. However, one thing I have not really been able to determine is how to quantify the odds of...

Thanks @canuck78 . I'll make sure to get a medical insurance before I travel. Also, will I be able to work, given that I already have a SIN number that I got in 2018? I know I won't be able to get a DL but if I have US DL (valid till 2028), will that work in canada for identification, domestic...

Thanks for the inputs. Should I present this evidence only if and when I'm asked to present it by the officer or should I just preemptively present it even if they don't ask me during secondary? What is the most common question(s) that I should expect before and during secondary given my history...

Hello, I am an Indian citizen curently in the USA. I am working here on H1b, my h1b status is valid, however, my current visa stamp expired. I have got an appointment at US consulate in Toronto to get it stamped in December 2024. Now my Canada PR card expired in 2023 and I have been unable to...
