9 june , i'll be out of the airport by 5 pm.
Mandamus was very expensive for me too. I applied for a visit visa. It's $100. They were supposed to process that in ~50 days which didn't happen but I got my ADR requests pretty much at the same time after months of radio silence. It could be wild luck that they noticed but if you're really stuck, worth a shot perhaps.
Starting to feel uncomfortable now.
It seems there will be 8,500 candidates with over 500 points until July 6th. Talk about competition. Insane.

If anyone here is planning to do a soft landing or has researched this topic, do you have any tips for it?
1. How to get your PR card if you have already returned to home country? Can you get it mailed to a PO box number?
2. What's the best city or province to do your soft landing if you are not from the US?
3. What formalities should one complete as part of soft-landing? PR Card, Social Insurance Number, what else?
Would appreciate any tips you have.

Hi all.
Please need help.
I got an GU on 6th May, 2022. My medical got extended and my background check was changed FROM "WE ARE PROCESSING " TO YOUR APPLICATION IS IN PROGRESS". Does it means that my eligibility is passed? Also when can I expect ADR/PPR if any.

The problem with soft-landing is it takes 4 months to get your PR card in the mail. Earlier it used to be just 2 weeks
Its a lot bro. Indian rupee is decliing and it is expected to decline further. So we are able to send more money to India that what we would have saved working in India.
@stirredo Its good if you earn more than $100000 in Canada. Because you cannot save much in Canada if you earn less.
1. PR Cards used to come to Canadian addresses two weeks after the landing, but that changed after the pandemic. The current waiting time for PR Cards is 96 days. Ideally, you need to wait for it while in Canada and leave Canada after getting it. You may leave Canada without waiting for the card and ask someone to send it to you via a courier service, but this is neither legal nor safe.
2. I'm not sure if there is a best city for Soft Landing. You can choose a city that offers direct flights to your home country for your convenience.
3. PR Card, Social Insurance Number, Provincial Health Card are must. Optionally, you may consider getting a phone number, a bank account, a Canadian driver's license while waiting.
However, I wouldn't recommend you to do a soft landing unless you have no other choice. It is costly, and there is no soft landing in Canadian immigration law. It is just an unofficial term used among immigrants. You might get in serious trouble if you tell the immigration officer at the border that you'll return to your home country after getting your PR card.
You'll have more than enough time on your visa to enter to Canada. Do a normal landing.
True. But give a friends house address for PR card and leave the country. I am sure 1000’s of Indians travel from Canada every day or week, so ask someone to bring the card. Its way better than waiting to land a year later. End of the day, its your choice. Also, after soft landing and going to India, you can apply for PRTD that will give you a one time entry pass to enter Canada. PRTD processing is also late.. around 4 months.!!The problem with soft-landing is it takes 4 months to get your PR card in the mail. Earlier it used to be just 2 weeks
I wouldn't set such unrealistic wage expectations for Canada mate. Average wage in Canada is around 54.000CAD /a year.
In order to make 100.000 CAD yearly, your hourly rate should be at least 52 CAD. No one earns that money unless you're in a senior management position in a big corporation, or you're a brain surgeon, or a senior computer "engineer" who has remarkable coding skills.
And why do you think someone would be in serious trouble if he/she travels after receiving PR card ? Once you land and become PR, its absolutely an open ground in terms of mobility. No one can question you OR stop you from travelling to home country.
I didn't say he would be in serious trouble if he travels after receiving the PR card. I said "You might get in serious trouble if you tell the immigration officer at the border that you'll return to your home country after getting your PR card." Even at the time of landing, you're still not a PR, and immigration officers have every right to send you back to your home country if they're not satisfied with your intentions, your available funds etc.
Therefore, I advised him to not to disclose his temporary intentions at the time of landing. One must have a permanent intention to reside in Canada at the time of landing.
