Hey all, I have a quick question and hoping to find some answers. I did soft landing back in July 2022 and didn't fill out any GTF list and told the agent I will be moving permanently later. I am planning to visit Toronto for couple of days in August. Now do I have to fill in GTF list or can...

All right folks, hit me with some positive things about Toronto. So far the discussions are depressing. I will start - Picturesque fields just outside of Scarborough. Access to farms and fresh produce. Access to you name it grocery items.

Your chances of getting a US Tourist visa are slim tbh. You don't have proper ties to the country you are staying at present and you can be considered as potential immigrant. To better your chances show what's your future plan in Canada and your ties with your home country.

[ I did the soft landing, I landed on July 29 and got my PR cards maybe a little after 2 months.

They will ask you if they need new medicals.

Congratulations, I was able to provide my sister's address for PR card and the officer had no issues with that. We got our PR cards few weeks ago. I have T-mobile and had no issues using it in Canada, they offer free 5GB internet and free unlimited calls. You can also top up if you need more...

Err no, you don't need PR card to get SIN, I walked into a Service Canada, showed COPR/Passport and got SIN on the spot.

I respectfully disagree, DMV's are not what they used to be. I have been a DMV in Massachusetts and a DMV in Florida, they are much more efficient and streamlined. Yes you need to wait at least an hour or maybe less but this is huge improvement.

Immigration officers work 24/7. You can activate your PR anytime you want, there are no special days or time. It just depends on the day and traffic.

Awesome and yes we only got for 6 months as well. We are going to Canada in August regardless of PR so that works in our favor. When are you planning to travel?

Phew, finally our PR journey has been completed, we have received our Passports and COPRs today or is it really done? I am guessing there won't be any surprises when we do our landing.

@ashu91 Received our passports and COPRs

Yes you should.

@ashu91 Same here.

@jenpie Thank you for the reply. I almost got a mild heart stroke haha.

@ashu91 Can you please check your application on VFS website. For me it says decision envelope has been dispatched from IRCC office to Canada VAC in Sao Paulo. Why would they send passports to Sao Paulo? Email says NY VAC though.

@ashu91 Same update haha, looks like we both will receive our passports at the same time. Good luck mate and all the best for your move.

1. You cannot travel without your extension approval. Period. Try premium processing. 2. If you get your extension approved, get the original I797 which will have your new I94 and you can travel to Canada/Mexico and stay 30 days and return to US within 30 days. That's about the only thing you...

@ashu91 any update on your passport?

Why can't you travel to Canada and go back to US if you are on H1B? You can use AVR option.
