Hey everyone,
I just wanted to share my landing experience with all of you.
Me and my wife went to a land border to complete the landing process.
Going out of Canada towards US
We got out of Canada and went towards the US checkpost. The official asked for our purpose of visit, to which we said we just want to Flagpole back to Canada in order to complete our landing process. The official asked to park the car in the parking lot beside the building and come inside and wait. Once we were in the building, they gave us a white piece of paper within 10 minutes. Then they made us take a u-turn towards Canada.
Coming back into Canada
On the Canadian side, the official at the checkpost asked us for purpose of visit. We told him that we are here to complete our landing process. He gave us a yellow piece of paper. He asked us to park our car and come inside the building. Once we were inside, we took a number for our turn and waited for the number to get called out. Once our turn came, the official asked for our Passports, CoPR letters, the white paper we got from US side and the yellow paper. She also asked us to give her all our permits such as study/work (even expired ones). She asked us whether we have any criminal history and also asked whether we have any other dependents who have not been listed on CoPR. Then she asked us to wait while she completed the process. After 5-10 minutes, we were called again. Me and my wife signed the CoPR letter and then the official signed the same. Congratulated us on becoming new permanent residents.
And that is how we completed our landing process. No issues at all.
I just want to mention that on my CoPR, last date of entry was wrong and on my wife's CoPR they didn't mention original and last date of entry. We pointed it out to the official and she said that is not a problem as IRCC already has dates in their system as well as our passports have date stamps showing entry dates.
She didn't ask for any additional documents but it is a good idea to carry all your documents with you in case they want to see them.
Documents we took with us
- Passports (cancelled and valid ones)
- CoPR letter
- Employments letter
- Marriage Certificate
- Birth Certificate
- Address Proof
- Bank Statements
- All the permits, study/work (even the expired ones).
