Hello rhcohen2014. Thank you. I am a AAA member but I did not know that AAA takes free photos for members. Will keep this in mind for future. For the Canada I came across a local photo studio that took these pictures for me but had to pay a bit more than Walgreens. What is surprising is that my...

I came back to the US after landing in Canada, so will start looking for job when we decide to move and settle in Alberta.

My photograph for PR card was rejected because it turns out that it is not as per specifications. I live in the Bay Area, CA, USA and took those photos at Walgreens. The person at Walgreens said that they have photograph specifications for various countries and the Canadian PR photo specs are...

YAY!!! This is a story of another successful landing in Canada and return to US using the AVR process. Thank you to everyone who gave their valuable guidance and advice, and shared their landing experience, so that I could be better prepared. My story is as follows: DRIVE TO THE US-CANADA...

Thanks Chucky. I have made a goods to follow list but not in the B4 form as the list is pretty long. I plan to discuss with the IO on the best way to transfer to B4.

Thanks Chucky. Which border did you enter Canada and will you be leaving Canada soon and permanently immigrating later?

Hello Steperry, This was one of the options to get PR in Canada under the Alberta PNP. However, this program is currently closed. See link below for further details. http://www.albertacanada.com/files/albertacanada/AINP_USvisaH_closureApr13.pdf Anthcott.

Hello All, I saw many people ask about the need to fill the B4 (goods to follow) form while entering Canada to take care of the landing formalities, but did not see any responses to this question. I have the same question, if I declare I am just entering Canada to fulfill the...

Hello Asghar, Thank you. I just checked your personal message and responded.

Hello All. I am planning to travel to Alberta end of April to fulfil my landing formailities, but will return to US after a week until my current work assignment in US gets completed and then immigrate permanently to Alberta. I have no residence address in Alberta, so was planning on renting a...

Hello Shruti, I saw in your landing experience the CBSA asked you why you did not take appointment. I was not aware that we can take appointment for landing in Canada. How to go about taking an appointment?

Hello windoski, I am also planning to land in Canada next month, but was a bit taken aback by the bad experience funloving had during his landing, but like you mentioned I did feel it must have been an odd bad day. My question to you is have you already landed in Canada and living there? Looks...

Hello Steaky, My question is regarding the PR card. Not sure whether these are rumors or true that some people mentioned that the Canadian government authorities scan the mail leaving Canada and if the feel there is a PR card in the mail then they destroy the PR card. Any thoughts on this topic?

I am also planning to land in Canada and return using AVR. One thing that concerns me is that the US IO asked "if I was working for the same company mentioned in the expired visa". So does this mean that for AVR to become active we should be working for the same employer who is listed on the...

Cool. Thanks emamabd. I assume this would also be the case in the senario in which the PR cards were not issued while landing and dependent is trying to enter via road using the COPR issued during landing. Suppose this is a permanent entry by the dependent then will only the dependant's PR Card...

Thank you rizmayo. Another thought just came to me is after landing is there any difference between primary applicant and dependant. For landing I believe the primary applicant should be present. Suppose we don't get our PR cards issued during our landing, so later when we want to settle in...

Thanks emamabd. Even if our PR cards are not processed during landing does it affect permanent residency status? I mean our 5 year time period within which we should spend 2 years in Canada to maintain our PR status would start ticking the day we finish our landing formalities, and in theory...

I am also thinking of using mail forwarding services, but not sure whether there would be any issues, can someone guide? Also, I heard people say PR Cards are destroyed if sent via mail outside Canada, can some share their experience about receiving the PR Card via mail (forwarded by someone...

Hello All, My wife and I just got the permanent residency visa and COPR documents from CPC-Ottawa and they have given us the beginning of May as deadline to land in Canada. We plan to initially go to Canada and take care of the landing formalities and then later immigrate but still not decided...

Bluesky19 unfortunately I don't have anyone in Alberta who can get my PR Card to the USA, but I am prepared to go there again and pick it up if the PR Card is mailed to my address in Canada. My main concern is if the IO feels I am not moving permanently will they just hold mailing the PR Card...
