Hello, 1. Yes you will be fine flying on a. commercial carrier to Boston if your visitor visa to the US is valid. Pakistan is not part of the wise waiver program (which requires an ESTA not a visa to travel to US) so you need your visitor visa. 2. You can fly from Boston to Buffalo and take...

Hello, My understanding is that eTA is null and void when you are PR. If you apply for one after becoming PR it will be immediately rejected. In your case you already have one. It's risky if you take the chance of flying to US. Not sure if they check the status of your eTA at check in or...

Hello, It doesn't matter from where you send documents to CIC. Their case processing centre is in Ottawa so factor in the time it will take the package to get to Ottawa. In short, CIC will still send you your CoPR back to your home address. Good luck!

Hello, Once you land as PR any previously valid work permit is null and void. A commercial carrier will not permit you to board a plane, bus or train to Canada without work permit, PR card, PRTD or Canadian passport. If you apply for an ETA since you have a visa exempt passport, it will be...

Hello, You have the following options: 1. Do your landing here sooner: (locally at a CIC office or flagpole at Niagra). This jeopardizing your trip to India because you will need your PR card to return to Canada once you activate your PR status. The only other option is to go to India anyway...

Unfortunately, I can guarantee you won't have your PR card before you leave as they are currently taking 61 days to process first time PR cards. However you do still have legitimate options. 2) I stay very close to the US border so if I fly to the US and then cross the border in a taxi...

Understood. But since a PR cannot even apply for or obtain an eTA, it may be at the discretion of the airline whether to allow boarding or not on explanation of the situation?

Thank you for your comments...But can I confirm with you, how sure are you that they will not let me board? I called two different representatives of the airline and both said that all I needed was a valid passport. Did this happen to you i.e not being allowed to board a plane? Also, how will...

Thank you for your response... You mention: "CBSA will allow you entry into Canada with your valid passport and your COPR." Have you experience of this? i.e travelling back to Canada yourself with just CoPR and passport? Regarding the ETA, I'm cautious not to apply for an ETA online incase...

I became PR in July and need to travel to the US next week for 2 days. However, my PR card is still in process and I have waiting almost the 9 weeks processing time (61 days) but it looks unlikely it will arrive before my planned travel. Has anyone had expereince of taking the risk and...

Hi, Can you please advise whether you did or did not apply for an ETA while in Germany? Was this at Pearson airport? I understand that as a PR, if you applied for an ETA as a visa-exempt passport holder it will be denied because the system can see you are a PR (hence no need to apply for an...

Has anyone recently received their PR card? If so what was the wait time? I landed July 30th and am wondering if the current processing time posted on CIC of 61 days. Other than the below tracker which is not updated frequently, would appreciate any information on wait times for those who...

You can remain in the US until the expiry of your H1-B visa (there should be an expiry date on it). It sounds like you have not yet applied for your Canadian PR? If your H1-B visa will not be renewed, you should apply for Canadian PR without delay. When CIC issue you with your confirmation of...

Hello, Has anyone received their CoPR where their original ardor last entry date is not accurate? I submitted scanned copies of all the stamped pages of my passport (I am from a. visa-exempt country so don't need to submit physical passport) so CIC would have seen all the dates on which I...

Hi, Yes I have a passport from a visa-exempt country and just received my CoPR. I had sent in, as requested, a scanned copy of all the pages (identity page and any stamped pages of my passport) and two photographs. CIC keep one photograph and stick the other back on the CoPR that they return...

Did you ever fully apply for EE and then remove your application altogether or just create a profile and you were waiting for an ITA? You should try 'Continue my profile' so as not to have to create a new username etc. This time make sure any personal information that may have changed in the...

Thanks a lot that's great.

Hello, Could anyone explain please what the process is for PPR for an applicant from a visa-exempt country e.g UK, Ireland, France? Applied for EE inside Canada (CEC stream), currently on Canadian work permit which already contains an ETA i.e I do not need an extra visa or stamp to come to...
