Hi Guys,

I have received my CoPR and planning to perform landing at a Canadian Port of Entry in Woodstock, NB or Rainbow Bridge, ON.

Please let me know, if somebody made a U-turn and performed the landing process?

I have seen posts that U-turn is not available at Peace Bridge anymore.

Reason being - I don't want to deal with US Border guys.

Thanks,
Specterz

Hi

You can't make a u-turn. You need to actually leave Canada to be able to land.

You have no choice but to "deal with US Border guys" if you are trying to flagpole. You require them to issue you with an "administrative refusal" document to present back at the Canadian border.

If you dont want to deal with US border guys, you can book an appointment to complete landing procedures in Canada.
