PR landing with a Canadian PR

[Wonderland_1010]

Hi guys

Would anyone know if I can do my landing with my sister who is a PR already at Vancouver international airport?

Or do we have to go through CBSA separately?

Please advise.

You can certainly bring your sister with you I don't see an issue with that.

Are you sure? Because she is already a PR and I'm going to land as a PR. So I'm sure if CBSA will allow her to accompany me while I do my landing.

She would have to be processed on her own and then would have to come back to accompany you. If that is not possible she can always wait for you to be processed by baggage claim/exit.

So she can be with me during my landing interview with CBSA? Because I would have to get my luggage first before I can do my landing interview anyways.If that's the case, then I wouldn't be as nervous.

Probably not if you are an adult but you can ask.

Yes, they will let her stay with you. She can go with you to the visitor line at primary so you go through together.

So she can join with me at the temporary permit/visitor queue instead of joining the PR/Citizen queue? Does she need to inform CBSA of why she's not joining the PR/Citizen queue?

Thank You for your advice!

Yes, she can go with you through the visitor line. You will tell the primary officer that you are landing and want your sister with you. Not a big deal.

That's a huge relief. I wasn't sure if CBSA will let my sister join me but I hope they do because we are both adults except she's already a PR and I'm not as of yet but i do want her with me when I land as PR.

Thank You So Much!!

I went through the visitor line with my partner and the CBSA officer had no issues with me being there for the landing. CBSA officers are generally pretty nice, especially for straightforward positive situations like PR landings.
