Hello,
Thought I'd share my experience to help others.
- The intended destination in my COPR was Windsor, Ontario.
- I landed in Vancouver, BC Oct 16th, and there was no problem at point of entry. My passport was stamped and I gave a friend's address who lives in Ontario for my PR to be sent. Was not asked POF but had it just in case.
- If you have Goods to follow MAKE SURE YOU LET OFFICER KNOW. I had to inform the officer so he could stamp my list.
- I landed in Vancouver because I wanted to get my H1B stamped for the 1st time and that was the only consulate that had availability for what I was looking for.
- Interview was on a Tuesday 10/17 but didn't get my passport back till Monday 10/23. Processing was slow , so please plan on being there for 1 week or more. I'd recommend booking interview on a Monday so you can leave on Friday. Don't book return flight until you get email from consulate. I had to cancel my Friday flight back because I didn't receive passport back in time.
- You can apply for SIN, bank account etc. once you land using your COPR and passport.
