If one did not have a job/income for 3 years (and wasn't taking care of one's kids), then how would they prove their physical presence in Canada for citizenship ? or even PR renewal purposes ?

Hi there, looking for info on exchanging my US driver's license for an Ontario License. I have the '3+ years of driving' experience letter and a valid US license with a clean record. 1) I just wanted to check if anyone is aware of any rules on the date on the 'experience letter' ... i.e. is it...

Above reply by 'pie_vancouver' is correct. July 2017 onwards for you guys...

Hey there.....I have not 're-entered' Canada via US yet, so can't comment on my experience. But I was actually told at time of my short landing by the officer who stamped my COPR, that the COPR is valid for re-entry if i return by road (obviously using 'private vehicle'), at least for first...

Hi all, just want to add that , i recently heard some of the details / steps ....that i had posted above have changed b/w then and now. The basic process and documents required might still be the same, but do read the PPR letter and CSC/VAC site carefully to ensure you have the latest...

Thanks for bringing that up, my bad. That does answer my question :)

Thanks Legalfalcon. I did read through the link you provided and a couple of others i found on the forum posts related to this topic. I guess i'm still not able to find the answer to my question : If i land as a PR (short landing) in 2017 May and then stay only for a week and go back...

Hello, Kindly request some assistance in my situation : i am am planning a short landing for 10 days in May, and plan to apply for PR card+SIN+Bank Acct. etc.. and return to continue my job in my country of residence, for two or three more months. Ultimately i plan to move permanently (let's...

happy to help.

that's correct... i paid $31.40 as well. Please note: i just edited my original post as i forgot to mention one thing. You probably already took care of that but just wanted to mention.... See point #6 (I included the prepaid return envelope as well)

Hey there, I have received PPR after going through the process with New York - VAC (CSC) and can help here. I agree, the instructions are a bit confusing but CSC NY VAC was helpful to answer my questions via email. It seems this CSC VAC has only recently started processing for PR/COPR and...

that's awesome news Raj ! Congratulations and good luck with the next steps !

I posted at the below thread asking the same today : http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/reentering-canada-without-pr-card-after-a-short-visit-to-us-t140299.0.html;msg5812964#msg5812964 A few senior folks have confirmed COPR + passport is good enough...... but i agree...

Thanks all for your inputs ! I have been trying to find where it is officially listed... is there a webpage (CIC or cbsa etc..) that points to either COPR / Passport / both being enough. Not doubting anything here :).... just wanted to see if we have a written official source or is this...

thanks for your response ! just to confirm, this hold true no matter what country's passport one holds ?

Hi Sammoe, i believe there is one exception.... if one is returning from US via road (in personal/rental car i.e. 'private vehicle') to Canada, then PRTD is not mandatory. Instead the same signed COPR (used for initial landing) can be re-used for entering without PR card in hand second time...

Hi Leon, Do you think re-entering with COPR and Passport will work if i plan to return by road (rental car) from US, lets say '6 months' after initial landing in Canada ? i.e. would i still be considered a 'new PR who hasn't gotten my PR card' (as you mentioned above) Secondly, on the CIC...

Hey Raj & rest of my friends..... This morning (Feb 27th), i received my passport back from the NY VO in the mail (stamped with the visa) and with two copies of the COPR (one had my photo attached, other does not). Wanted to thank everyone once again for the help on this awesome forum ! One...

Congrats Anshul ! Great news :)

You are correct. It's a specific legal issue with Indian passports ONLY - not for everyone (could be other countries also, but none i know of). The courier companies will deliver it - as you said, but easier to get it changed to a local VO through requesting and then ship locally.
