Guys,

Due to the limited choices for flights to Novascotia / Halifax, the only route available is through Montreal/Qubec.. I mean connection flight through there...!!

Please advise if this is possible or will cause issues at the Airport? If you guys have reference from CIC website then would highly appreciate..

MANY thanks for your fast response!

Are you doing your landing or are you asking for a different purpose?

If it is about your PR landing, then thats not an issue at all. Just show them your connecting flight, make sure you have enough time between flights for the formalities and everything else should work just fine.

Thanks for your answer,

Yes .. this is regarding the landing formalities.. its only a question regarding first point of entry, I will have my flight to Halifax in 4 hrs after landing in Montreal.. so will not leave even the airport.. I dont want any troubles later on..

So what do you think? will that delay my PR since its Montreal? or that will make no difference at all and should be just fine?!

Thanks again..

You have to demonstrate that you plan to settle outside of Quebec. You will need to provide an address outside of Quebec where you PR card can be mailed.

So If we have the address in the Final Destination which is not in Quebec and our connection flight is already booked, then that wouldnt be a problem?

Or this Quebec thing will delay the PR since its done in Quebec?

Thanks for ur answer!

you have to complete landing formalities at the first POE into Canada given if nothing else Montreal to Halifax is a domestic flight so no opportunity to do so when you land in Halifax.

As syclla indicates just explain your final destination is Halifax, provide an address for your PR card to be sent in NS and you should be fine. After all Quebec is still part of Canada last time I looked, although some people there still dream of some level of independance.

If you show them the connecting flight ticket, there wont be an issue. You will just do your landing at the airport in Montreal and then take your flight to your final destination.

You cannot wait to do your landing at your final destination.

Its definitely not a problem. As mentioned by others anove, just make sure you have an address that is outside of quebec to send your pr card to and show them your connecting flight ticket and you will be fine.

Not a problem. Happens all the time.

You will do landing interview with CBSA people at Montreal. Just show the officer your connecting flight to Halifax and maybe a rental agreement or reception outside Quebec to show that you are not settling in Quebec per Express entry requirement. They shouldn't give you trouble.

Hello,
Sorry for digging out this old post.
Is it ok to show them Montreal - Ottawa train tickets instead of plane tickets ? We are travelling with a baby and from our home country, there are only 8 hours direct flights to Montreal, If we would go directly to toronto or ottawa it would take 14 to 15 hours including 3 hours layovers which is too much for a baby.
Please advice and thanks in advance.
