MAY 2012 Applications

[tricktt]

here it is...

a) Took the pedestrian walkway to US after paying 50 cents toll (for each person landing). Walked over to US immigration.
b) US officers asked for our passports and made us wait 5-10 mins and issued the administrative refusal letter for not having US visa addressed to CBSA. Passports were not stamped with any refusal stamp by US officers.
c) Walked back to Canadian side, took some pictures on the way back (niagara from rainbow bridge).
d) After entering CBSA building, we were asked the reason of us being there (we said landing). They issued us a yellow slip with "Immigration" mentioned and asked us to go to another building across the side walk to complete the formalities.
e) The officer in the other building took my driving license as address proof, passports, license, COPR & US Refusal letter. Nothing else. No proof of funds, no birth certificates / marriage certificates. Called us after 5 mins to sign the COPR, and the landing was done.

No idea about Quebec. They did ask me where I live (toronto that is) however. But nothing else. We were out in 10 mins flat.

Dear XXXXXXXX,

The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING. YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE FINALIZED AT THE CASE PROCESSING PILOT-OTTAWA (“CPP-O”).


Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?

· Have you married or divorced?
· Have you given birth or adopted a child?
· Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?

If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately:
OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca

You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa. Once your file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.


If none of these conditions applies to you, you may proceed below.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)

Every principal applicant and his/her accompanying spouse/common law partner are required to pay a Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) in the amount of 490 Canadian dollars.

Our records indicate that you have already paid these fees. They are refundable if for any reason you do not obtain permanent residence in Canada.

Passport(s)

We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.

Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport.

Height and Eye Colour

We require confirmation of this information for yourself and each accompanying family member. Please complete the attached form “Biodata” and return it to us.

Photographs

You must submit two (2) recent photographs of yourself and of each accompanying family member that meet the requirements stated on this webpage.



How to Send your Documents to the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (CPP-O)

Please submit all documents by MAIL in a single package. Please quote your application number on your correspondence and send the package to one of the following addresses:

Canada Post:
CPP – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON K1G 4B9

Courier:
CPP – Ottawa
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa ON K1A 1L1

If you have a mailing address in Canada: To allow you to track your passports through the mail, we strongly recommend that you purchase two (2) PREPAID Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (National), letter-sized (318 x 241 mm), at any Canada Post retail outlet.

- Complete the mailing label on one envelope showing your mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
- Keep a tracking number sticker from each envelope.
- Fold and enclose the self-addressed envelope in the other envelope along with your passport(s) and a copy of this request letter.

We will not use registered mail or postage coupons. If you do not submit a return prepaid Xpresspost envelope or if you provide an envelope from any other courier, we will return your passport by regular mail.

CPP-Ottawa accepts no responsibility for any passport lost in the mail.

The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 60 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.


Final Note

The issuance of your visa(s) cannot be delayed so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as soon as possible. An expiration date (dd/mm/yy) will be indicated on your visa and/or on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR – IMM 5688), and you must obtain permanent residence on or before that date. The visas and CoPR cannot be extended. If you are not prepared to live permanently in Canada immediately after your permanent residence is granted, please consult the CIC website regarding your obligations to retain your status in Canada.

Sincerely,

 

[Jean12F]

Hi Jean12F, could you please describe your landing in detail? Did they ask you for address proof?

Hello,

We went to the peace bridge , crossed the US border (Port of Entry)... We told the US officer that we are here for landing. He took our passports and gave us a slip and asked us to go the the building which was on the right. We had to wait for 15 mins till our name was called and then the US officer interviewed us. He gave us 2 options and asked us to chose what we wanted. The 2 options were 1. He will refuse our US visa and we need to go back to canada and do landing 2. We pay 6 dollars each for the US visa so we can enter US anytime till 6 months. We chose to take the visa as we wanted to shop in buffalo. After that we turned our car towards Canada border to land. We told the officer that we are here for landing. He asked us if we had any goods or if there was any goods to follow. We didnt have anything so he just asked us to go to the building on the right. There we entered the office and the Canada officer asked us of the COPR ,passports and my Husband's driving licence for address proof thats all. We signed the papers and were through. All was good and easy. The officers are very helpful.. so dont worry ...all the best ;D

Lol Infoseeker...I am sure Jean12F meant the I 94 and not the US visa. she must have already had the US visa and that's why got the I 94 with which she can enter US for the next 6 months without having to go to the immigration building every time she crosses the border.
