Finished my landing at Thousand Island (about 3-hr driving from Toronto) at 5:45 pm. There was only me in the whole building and it just took me 15 mins. Details can be seen in my signature.

Wish everyone gets their golden news nearly soon!!!

Hey Congratulations, you are finally done withe everything. I am waiting for my CoPR (Passport sent on 26th August). Wanted to ask if there was any appointment required at Thousand Island? I am planning to go there too and see what could be the best time to go there. Appreciate your response.

What really happened when you got to border?
Just trying to figure out at what the officers requested and how things went from there?
I think most of Canadian broader should request passengers to drive. Heading to US broader, I was asked if I and my accompanies had US visa or not (I thought it was not required, thought we all have). Then stopped the car, went to a building, and the US officer would ask the main purpose of the trip/my status in Canada/etc. He or she would issue a white ticket to me. Held this and then backed to the car, and one officer would guide how to drive back to Canadian broader without entering the US.

Then Canadian broader was really straightforward to deal with my landing:
1. asked me to double-check the 2 CoPR paper was correct or not, and to give all my permits no matter they expired or valid;
2. asked me to write the questions on the CoPR with “no” (if no) and initial, and at the bottom full signature and date on it;
3. asked me to write down my address and how much many in my bank account...
After 5 mins wait, it’s done and he gave back my passport along with 1 CoPR (with his writing and signature) and a congratulation template paper with some details regarding PR card and how to keep it after 5 years, etc. He didn’t even mention how and how long my PR was gonna arrive.

No limit, 24x7, any time. They don’t need an appointment. I left Toronto around 1.30pm, and then finished at the broader around 5pm. I might suggest arriving before 5pm during the weekday if you don’t wanna wait, since I was the only one there. But still, it doesn’t really prolonged and difficult like Niagara. GL!

Could you teach me how to link it correctly? Really appreciate it!

Does it’s important to tell how much we have in account at border while we do landing?
How much funds we need to have?
Thanks
I don’t think so if you are CEC, but it is important for other stream applicants. I am CEC inland applicant, and I was a little bit surprised of being asked how much I have in my bank account when I did landing 2 days ago. I personally think they probably just want to make sure you have some funds to support your settlement in Canada initially, cuz they didn’t ask or check my proof of funds that I brought with me during the landing process.

If you wanna be safe for landing, here is the reference for how much should be for any specific numbers of people in a family: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

Ok, thanks for that info. Please let me know if you will be able to get a refund for the application fee that you paid for it... thanks and congrats!
I landed on Sept 3, and called them on Sept 4 to withdraw my Visitor Record Extension. She called the CPC-Edmonton office and confirmed my request to be delivered. The refunds would be expected to be back within 16 weeks, and the application would be cancelled around 1 month. But she also mentioned the refund decision would depended on the officer (I believed mine was fine since I submitted on July 17 and they were only processing mid May now based on website timeframe).

It was withdrawn yesterday morning after I got an email saying “they is an update...”

Hope this helps.
