Hello!
I've read some conflicting information on the forum about forms needed and procedures at the airport and I'd like to make sure I understand what will happen. From what I understood:
1. Go through the normal immigration line with a Declaration Card.

2. Tell Officer you are "landing", they will direct you to another counter
3. Officer will ask for COPR (no visa on passport for visa-exempt countries, right?)
4. Officer may ask for proof of funds (no need for sponsored SO, right?)
5. Officer will fill out a request for PR card form? Should you bring it pre-filled? Do you need photos?
6. You're free to go. How long does the process usually take? Can everything be done in an hour and a half?
Is this right? Oh, there's no luggage coming later, is the unaccompanied goods list needed?
Thank you!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
