Landing in Toronto on way to calgary

[Dave123]

Hi All;
I will be arriving in calgary in a couple of weeks time, however my flight is via Toronto (7 hour stop over in toronto). In this regard I have the following concerns, and would appreciate the assistance of fellow forum members:

1. If I am only transiting through toronto to calgary, will I have to complete my landing formalitities in toronto or can i defer these till I land in Calgary? note that as per my copr my desired POE is calgary
2. If I do my official landing formalities in Toronto, but give my give address as calgary will I be considered an Alberta resident or Ontario Resident?
3. If I do my formalities in toronto but give my address as calgary then can I apply for my SIN and Health Card in Alberta the next day after landing in Calgary? And will I get immediate health coverage in Alberta as any other newcomer to Alberta would (who does landing formalities in Alberta?

Also, what difference does it make If I do my landing in toronto on my way to clagary? Any special consideration needed?

Thanks.
Best Regards;

Toronto.

Alberta.

3. If I do my formalities in toronto but give my address as calgary then can I apply for my SIN and Health Card in Alberta the next day after landing in Calgary? And will I get immediate health coverage in Alberta as any other newcomer to Alberta would (who does landing formalities in Alberta?
Yes, and yes.

Also, what difference does it make If I do my landing in toronto on my way to clagary? Any special consideration needed?
None, really.
But if you have Alberta PNP, you should have a way to prove that you are continuing straight on to Alberta (an onwards ticket, etc.) to show the officer who processes you landing, in case they ask.

Thanks.
