Re: Landing experience and AVR Dilse You rock dude .Congratulations on successful landing. Thank you for putting your experience in such a detailed fashion. Every post that I have seen of AVR is pretty successful,the low points being the airline staff or inexperienced junior American...

Gigi No it is not an absolute requirement.You can apply for it when you permanently move.I would recommend getting the SIN though since it is absolutely necessary to do an job search ( That's what I was told in the landing thread ) .Since you plan to be in Calgary for several days just get the...

trsrikanth and Bibo Please search this thread and you will notice many AVR experiences. You can also search Trackitt for multiple experiences.If you go back in this thread couple of users ( Justinline and some other user...) had a problem of having to convince the officer for a long time.The...

cchabert Thank you very much good sir for the reply.Also appreciate the continous help you have been doing to the people on the forum. I guess I will have to apply for SIN then because I plan to do an job search back from the US and move once I have a good job . So I guess SIN is required even...

lifegiver and qrious I am planning to land in July from SFO as well,will be flying into Calgary International and will travel back with AVR. Regards Lights

I just had one question for the senior members and members who have finished the landing. I am aware the health cards need not be applied right away but what about the SIN cards. The SIN offices only seem to operate M-F (04:30 PM) .I was planning on doing the landing over one of the weekends in...

Joseph bro Just hang in there...I know it is tough after such a long wait. I hope your file moves soon enough since the bring forward date is closeby. Tons and TOns of good luck . Lights

enna You should be fine. You are landing in Alberta so that takes away one factor to question your intention from the officer's side.Second just mention you are there for the landing. No need to mention the AVR etc.If you do get an question of are you moving right now...you can let them know...

Kevin Congratulations !!!! on completing the landing and thanks for putting the detailed experience. One question though... 1.Since you cannot apply the PR card untill 5 months when you finally plan to move...When does the residency clock for citizenship start ticking.Is it technically after...

339pm Technically this process is called preclearance.US and canada have this arrangement at certain Canadian International airports where US immigration is completed before taking the flight and no immigration is required when you land in USA. Toronto, Calgary and some others are the airports...

kv_ajay Thank you very much for the detailed information and the additional links.Surely helps cheer one up when one hears a positive smooth transition using AVR and the rest as well. Some questions though hope you would not mind shedding some light. 1.Does one need to get the US Immigration...

Enna Trackitt has some useful information and I am sharing the link below.Also buried many posts deep in this thread is also some useful information.Anywaz for the benefit of all will put the AVR checklist below.Some points have been overlooked in this forum and have not been posted...

Enna Just answering from my experience.Buffalo is nowadays turning it around in 15 days -3 weeks and max time of an month.Most people after Feb March 2011 have received it with that timeline. Detroit is also doing the same except there are exceptions and people have gotten it back after a...

Lettuce bro Thank you for the wishes.I too wish you will get it soon.Yup I have to look for the ticket deals as well ,myself will also probably shell out close to 1800 for 2 adults travelling from west coast to Alberta. AVR through Calgary airport is worrying me.I have noticed similar...

Joseph I am planning to land in late june or early july. Lettuce bro It is a juggle to retain both cards . 1.I was just about to put a post.I got my passports back today with the visa stamped till Sep 2011 which was the date of my medicals. 2.Planning to land by late june or early july...

Manny and Sinbad Thank you both for the inputs.Also based on Ell.Bee's successful landing and others experience at Calgary Airport will procced with bank statements . :) Also nice tip on not mentioning the AVR part..will skip it. Lights

Calgary2010 I had a similar doubt with regards to show proof of funds and also posted in the landing thread. Previously Ell.Bee and other users had just used bank printouts or letters as proof of funds. 1.Would an letter from the bank or deposit statement be sufficient proof for the officer at...
