Thank you!!! So far, what I have found about car insurance coverage is that "According to the U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs, all personal auto insurance coverage extends to US drivers in Canada, however, you should contact your representative about getting a “Motor Vehicle Liability Card /...

Hello all! It has been a whirlwind since my "soft landing" at YVR so I haven't been able to post a detailed write-up. But I wanted to pop in to give a quick update and possibly vent some new frustrations that I've run into. First off, my landing at YVR was incredibly easy. I landed around...

Did you include the car on your goods to follow list then? Or is there another form I should bring as well? I'm flying in for my soft landing on Thursday, but I want to make sure I don't create any issues for later when I drive my car up and land permanently.

I deleted my post (must have been right as you responded) because I answered my own question and found out that TD has unlimited transaction accounts as long as you maintain a minimum balance as well. It was a huge "duh" moment for me with the credit cards, for some reason I was thinking that I...

I ended up switching my flight to the night before, more expensive and an extra night accommodations, but hopefully worth not having the extra stress. Since my flight lands so late at night now I expect my landing process will be nice and quick. Just need to get my paperwork in order. :) Since...

Thank you! I would be okay as long as it takes 2 hours or less and so far I haven't read anyone experience it taking longer than that, but on the CANN website it says it can take up to FOUR hours! I would be an anxious mess running late if it did take that long.

Hello again everyone! It’s happening! I have a job interview in Vancouver and based on the recommendations from here I am going to do my landing when I fly in for the interview instead of waiting. However, here is my question, can everyone who has landed or has read other landing stories give...

Good to know! After my landing I'll just treat it like a regular trip then until I have my PR card. Unfortunately I don't have any friends or family in Canada to have it mailed to, but I've found forwarding companies that provide a real Canadian address instead of P.O. Box so I'll be using one...

Thank you! Sounds like I will more than likely do my soft landing the next time I go then. I will probably just explain the situation to the officer and allow them to decide what is the best course of action for me. I was the most concerned about using my US passport to enter at airports after...

Does anyone here have experience traveling to Canada after receiving a COPR but returning to the US before receiving your PR card? I'm going to need to go to Vancouver for a job interview soon and I'm wondering if I can just travel as a US citizen and not do my landing since I'll be returning to...

I had begun researching the process before the election as well but it was definitely an added push to get everything together and get my application in. Now that I have my COPR the only reason I haven't landed yet is the difficulty in securing a job. I've only been at it very seriously for...

I'm not anywhere near a border unfortunately. :/

Hello everyone! I figured I would make one last timeline post here now that I have received my COPR in case my final timeline could give anyone insight into their own. Any questions just let me know! This forum has been a big help with anxiety throughout the process. US Citizen - Single...

Good news! My return tracker has been activated and I expect to have my COPR in hand tomorrow! My full timeline is in my signature.

Yeah, I also read somewhere that it may be that certain couriers (i.e. FedEx) pick up from the office only once or twice a week, but I don't know how true that is.

Hello, sharing my timeline. I was wondering why my return tracker hasn't been activated yet but I see that it's a common trend so I'll give it some more time. PPR: Aug 23 PP Sent: Aug 29 PP Received: Aug 30 PR Approved: Sept 6 Tracker Activated: Not Yet :( COPR Received: Not Yet :(

I just went to a local photo shop. Checked their website to make sure they did passport photos and then brought the specific Canadian instructions with me. It cost around $26USD.
