Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

[helldriver011]

Did "Soft landing" at Lacolle yesterday and returned back to USA after spending an hour on Canadian soil.

Landing experience was unusual and took long time then I had expected. Agents were concerned about me not giving them Canadian address for PR card mailing and not providing them GTA/GTF list during first landing.

CBSA agents huddled twice to discuss my case. I had to show them description of IMM 5456B form ( Address Notification - Permanent Resident card) on canada.ca website and email from CBSA mentioning that I am not required to submit GTA/GTF until I am moving to Canada as "settler".

CBSA agents found my request of not submitted GTA/GTF during first landing unusual and several discussions ( all in French) took place between CBSA agents on this.

My proof of funds were checked. I also received a lecture from 2nd CBSA agent on my PR obligations. At one point one of the CBSA agent was trying to convince me that USA has much better weather and I should not move to Canada.

In the end I was congratulated on becoming PR, was asked to sign COPR and then advised on how I can return back to USA.

We left plattsburgh hotel at 6:21 PM and were back in hotel by 8:13 PM.

Congrts!!! I have a question regarding proof of funds. How much you had to show per person? or is there any minimum amount required during lading time?

I am not sure about minimum required funds. I had shown whatever I had in my Canadian Scotia and US BOFA account which I believe was more than what's asked for Canadian immigration.

you guys remember in your PR application in your GCkey where it used to say " your action is required" me it used to show your action is required for like 7 months although there was no update so i just considered it was bug . now it says "submitted" does this mean CIC has fixed the bug that was in the system or maybe something else.

Did they ever requested any document all that time from you??
Because I once had the same message, and when I pressed (View Submitted Application) button and I uploaded the required documents, the message changed to Submitted...and the problem solved

Mine still says "Your Action is Required" even after I sent them my documents and they acknowledged that they received them and are looking into them. In fact, it says "We do not need anymore documents" but it still says action required. It's been like this for months so I assumed it was a glitch.
