I will still need a visa because I am from a non-exempt country. I think what the officer meant was that if I am driving back to Canada after a US trip I can just use my COPR to return, without a PR card. I don't think I will try that though, I will just wait for my PR card.

LOL! Good for you! I was thinking about that too, but then in the end just decided to get it over with and go home....

Thanks! I did my landing at Rainbow Bridge yesterday evening. It was pretty much the same experience as I have read elsewhere. The US side was pretty quick and efficient; they issue you a Refusal (which will NOT affect any future US visits) and open a gate for you to turn right back (I drove...

Hi all, I think I will go to Niagara Falls border, as it is closest to me. Can I ask: I assume you can do landing anytime of day or night right? Can landing be done late at night for example? I am just thinking what is the best time to go. Thank you.

Congrats perry.w1224! I think I will go to Niagara Falls border as well, as it is closest to me. Can I ask: I assume you can do landing anytime of day or night right? I am just thinking what is the best time to go.

I mentioned previously that my TRV was expiring and wasn't sure whether that would affect landing. I can report that they actually stamped a new TRV in my passport, good for only ONE trip, and I assume this is to assist me in my landing. Question answered.

Honestly, I feel it does not change anything. I did not call CIC or ask for a single GCMS during the first 6 months. My representative called once after we passed the 6 month mark and I was fortunate to get someone who told us everything was fine. I have read about some people who were able to...

Thank you Binoob. All the best to you. I sent my passport via Xpresspost on Sep 29th and it reached Ottawa Sep 30th. So 17 days in total.

Received my COPR yesterday Oct 17th. Everything seems to be in order. Application approved and closed Oct 17th. Xpresspost tracking worked fine. All the best to everyone waiting.

Congrats janicebunny!!

Mine says in transit as of 0813 hrs this morning. Nothing yet at the moment. I did wait around for it but I have to work, so I think I will have to pick it up from local post office tomorrow. I hope they don't get it wrong. perry.w1224, hope yours gets to you safely and quickly Passport...

Good luck newcecapplicant! Just checked my tracking this morning and it looks like my passport will be delivered today. So my timeline is: Passport received in Ottawa Sep 30th Hopefully COPR received Oct 17...

Yes shankster87 is actually a Fedex delivery. Monday it is ...

Congrats shankster87! I guess they do deliver Xpresspost on a Saturday. Mine is probably still in Ottawa, as of Fri evening. The tracker hasn't moved to In Transit. Hopefully it will arrive Monday or Tuesday. Passport arrived in Ottawa Sep 30th. I am like a lot of others: not sure whether...

Interesting! I had thought that was it for the day, but I just checked the Xpresspost website 5 mins ago and my tracker shows that it was activated 1833 hrs today. It's not yet in transit so I think I will only get it on Monday. BTW does anyone know: my Temp Residence Visa expires on Oct...

Big congrats to Rex911 and mooVee. For me, nothing activated yet as of this afternoon. Passport received in Ottawa Sep 30th.

Good for you MooVee! I am one day behind you. My passport arrived Sept 30th. Xpresspost website is up and running. No tracker activated yet.

In Canada there are special Expresspost envelopes that can be purchased, and all I did was buy two and addressed one to myself and placed that in the envelope I sent to Ottawa. All they have to do is put my passport in the self addressed envelope (which is paid for already). I went to a photo...

No activity on my account either. My passport arrived Sept 30th. Will update if any news.

Congratulations! Passport arrived Ottawa Sep 30th, tracked and signature obtained; no returning tracking activated yet. I think the long weekend may delay us a little. Happy Thanksgiving to all
