Oh lovely! From your perspective, is there any risk with using the purolator system vs trying to get an actual appointment?

Hi Omar! I am looking to renew my passport. Can you help me understand how you went about using the purolator pick-up/drop-off? And if I use this option, do I not need an appointment with BLS? I am trying to use this link but it doesn't appear to be working...

Hi all, I am looking to get an appointment for renewing my passport at BLS in Toronto. There are no appointments available until March 31. Does anyone know when they open up slots for April appointments? I want to snag one as soon as possible.

I would like to hire a moving company that can help pack items as well. Any recommendations?

Moving from Chicago to Toronto at the end of June. Does anyone have a preferred and tested moving company that I can use for this move? I need to move personal items and some furniture (couch and coffee table).

I did soft landing on July 15, 2020 and didn't apply for a PR card at that time. I now moved to Canada and applied for a PR card through the online portal application on March 20, 2023. Since then I have not seen any update on the PR card portal (https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login)...

Ok, so can I submit the PR card application while in the US so that it's ready by the time I move? Can I enter through the land border using my COPR? The COPR document says it's valid until 2025.

When I move to Canada in June 2023, will they just apply for my card at the border? Or do I need to go thru this process regardless? And any thoughts on why I couldn't apply for SIN?

Hi All, I did soft landing via the land border in July 2020 and then went back to the US. I came back to Toronto a few days to visit some apartments. I am looking to move officially in June 2023. I went to the SIN office to apply for SIN and they were unable to apply for my and my...

Hi, I completed soft landing in July 15, 2020. By when do I need to move to Canada to fulfil the RO? I do not have a PR card - the landing officer said I should apply when I move. Does this mean I can only go to Canada via land border?

Hi, I don't think we filled out a landing destination as part of the PR process. I think you can land anywhere except in Montreal. You will need to drive back and forth from the border. I didn't see a walkway between the US and Canada side. I hope this helps!

No, they did not take any address. The PR card will be processed when we move permanently and this should be okay with those that aren't moving to settle. Rental car.

We recently completed landing via the Detroit-Windsor land border. Our COPR was approved after March 18th. - The new guidance states that COPRs living in the US are only allowed to go to Canada if they are moving to settle permanently. - We are unable to move to Canada permanently right now...

Which port of entry did you talk to? We're planning to travel by road in early August.

What category did you apply under? I am wondering why they need a job offer before you can move to Canada? Perhaps it's a requirement under the category that you applied under.

Zaid, were you able to make it back safely?

For #3, my concern is that Canada won't consider soft landing as essential and won't allow us in. Do you happen to have any clarity on this front?

You should email CBP your specific situation and ask. What visa will you be on after July? If you have an approved H1-B and associated I-797, I believe you can re-enter using AVR, but obviously confirm with the CBP and a lawyer.

I am getting mixed answers. I have asked them.
