Landing at the boarder after the appoitment was requested

Hey guys,

I just scheduled an appoitment to land in Canada but realized how long it takes to get it. Do you know if im allowed to exit canada and land at the boarded even though ive requested the appoitment?

This is for the landing interview right? Or do you have CoPR already?

I have CoPR!! The problem is I have travel plans for February and I read that it takes 4 weeks to get an appointment and 6 weeks to get the card after. I’ve just send an email requesting an appointment but thinking it will be faster to just land at the boarder. So wondering if I’m allowed to do so since I’ve asked for an appointment.

Many thanks!

You should be able to enter Canada on your existing visa and just attend the appointment and activate your PR then. As long as you have a valid visa I'm pretty certain they won't turn you away. Maybe a senior can confirm this

Yes, you should be able to "flagpole" and then you can just cancel the landing appointment.
