We got a similar jerk lady officer yesterday at ambassador bridge in Detroit who spoke similar rules (?) about PR cards. She was mentioning that since I'm not going to reside in that location, it is illegal to send PR cards there. She didn't make much fuzz about gtf though. She probably didn't like the fact that my landing was really short (took an U turn to US side) and was very rude through out the process. She was asking unnecessary questions like why I was moving at this point when I have my validity till April and rudely reminded of 2/5 RO. No welcome to Canada either.We're officially PRs!
The one negative during our landing (Vancouver airport) was that the officer would not let us use our brother-in-law's address in Prince George BC for our PR cards "unless you are moving there within two weeks".
He was complaining about the "goods to follow" list as well because we weren't planning on moving within two weeks.
He didn't ask for anything other than the COPR, list of goods, and list of goods to follow. We got through it, the list to follow was approved, and are now PRs. And will later send in the form for the PR cards... using the same address.
Today we're thinking of getting our SIN cards if we can. The officer kept saying we need to go to Prince George (where BIL lives) to get it, but that's not our understanding so we're still going to try.
By the by I noticed that you updated your address through phone. Did call center guys ask when are you moving permanently while giving out the address? If so what you said. We may not move until next year, so I just want to give an answer that works. Hate to be without PR card as it's a hindrance for immediate travel.
