Entering Canada via Hot air balloon ?

[folks]

I just came to know that pr have the right to enter Canada.

My pr card is expired. I have talked to a boat agency in Singapore and they are willing to do the job. Since Canada restricts traveling to Canada via commercial planes, boats, buses and trains, I think hot air balloon is a true exception and is allowed. I also talked to few friends and they said it is possible and no problem doing so. Also it would be enjoyable and a cruise like experience. Kinda like a adventure traveling to Canada.

The basic idea is to hire a boat from Singapore and sail it all along to the coastal part of Nova Scotia before arriving the territory of Canada. There's a small island which is unclaimed by nobody and stop the boat over there. Inflate the hot air ballon and then land on the border with expired pr card. I think they will allow that way because I took a hot air ballon and not the one they mentioned on their travel restrictions.

What do you have to say ? Is it ok for me to do so?

Sure why not but what happens if the wind drives the balloon the wrong way, do you have a Europe visa ? Why bother with a balloon just land on the island or offload from the ship with an inflatable rib with an outboard and make for the nearest port to declare to immigration. Or why not get a microlight and fly in.

Obviously this is not a serious or practical proposal

Well, my morning coffee just exited through my nose.........

A couple of issues:

1. Just because something isn’t specifically listed, the intent of the law will cover any and all aspects of “commercial transportation”, so unless you buy and pilot the balloon yourself, it’s commercial transportation.
2. At 12 miles offshore, you are in Canada and subject to Canadian law. 200 miles out you are still subject to search. It’s also along one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so I doubt you wouldn’t be detected by Canadian officials.
3. Regardless of how you enter, you still have to report to immigration or you are entering illegally. So regardless of how you enter, you still risk being reported for RO. If you are trying to enter Canada without drawing attention to yourself, a balloon isn’t the way to do it.
4. Singapore to BC is shorter/more direct......
5. That’s an awful long way to walk (or swim) if the boat agency decides they have changed their minds and want you to get off.
6. I suspect that the boat company will charge you a handsome sum, and make their way to the Maldives for a nice vacation with your money. Caveat emptor.

Mr. Phileas Fogg, I know that all sounds easy, especially if your pals Captain Nemo and Jack Sparrow do advertise it.
But would not it be easier to:
A. to apply for PRTD
B. To go through USA border.
In this way you will get all attention you wanted to avoid (if your crazy plan will go through). So the secondary review and all nice perks are guarantee.
Maybe Sandokan Inc. is not the best travelling company to take.

I support your idea. Make a big news how mean Canadian government to treat it's residents.

It's not real...

You can't get to Nova Scotia easily in a boat hired from Singapore.
There are no unowned islands. Somebody, somewhere has a claim.
The prevailing wind is from West to East, resulting in the high probability of landing in the sea or Greenland.

Oh that's bad then and high risk. I want to pass.

If you're looking for a spectacular way to enter the country, why not save yourself some hassle (and money) and do what this man did?

It's funny that people who have PR status ( RO may/may not be fulfilled) trying to figure out how to get back into the country without being detected.
Whereas Nigerians / Haitians just walk into the country through the undeclared border points with the US without any hassle.
