Finally I finished my landing at Carway today and I want to say thank you to everyone who is sharing their experience here and answer my questions I had. I also wish everybody good luck if you are still on the processing.
Here is my landing experience at Carway and the overall I would say: NOT SO GOOD!
I arrived at border today around 1 pm. I drove to the U.S office, and got a refusal letter since I don't have an US VISA. Then I drove back to Canada site; brought all the documents of mine and went in to the office. One of the officer there saw me in the office and I told him that I am here just for the immigration landing and showed him my passport & CoPR. Then he asked me following questions:
1> Officer:" What is your current status in Canada and where is the document?" Then I handed in my work permit, he asked where are other documents? I said I didn't bring them and he told me I need to handed in all of them when next time I enter Canada.
2> Officer:" When is the last time you get arrest?", I said never.
3> Officer:" When is the last time you were asked to leave Canada?" I said never.
4> Officer:" How many times you have been refused to enter to other Country?" I said I never got refused before. Then he asked me did you get a refusal letter from US site just now? I suddenly realized it and said yes. Then he said " You should think about the question I just asked" I asked him:" Does it count? Cause I just come here for landing?" he said:" it is what it is! And this refusal letter will be recorded for your entire life."
5> Officer:" Can I see your driver's license?" and then he asked my previous living address.
6> Finally he asked if everything on the CoPR is accurate, and I said yes. He said it will take 3 hours to wait. I was shocked. I thought it would only take half an hour. Then he said:" We only have 3 officers here and see how many people in the waiting room. If you think today is slow, you can come tomorrow." Then I said sure I will wait.
I headed to the waiting room and approximately 15 people were waiting there. I started to wait and after about 2 hours waiting, finally one officer called my name. I felt really lucky because there were 4 people waited before me and they were still waiting.
Anyways, I successfully landed and got my PR. I don't know if any one has similar experience as mine. If you do, please share. Thanks!
