- Start date
Can u also help me on other questions please?
Is the U turn still possible?
As few people mentioned U-turn is up to the discretion of the border officer so there is no 100% guarantee so I would suggest you make plans for 14-day quarantine.
No problem, also there are some successful soft landings happened if COPR was issued before May 18th (dont quote me on the date), I am guessing you got your COPR before May 18th so you might have a chance of doing soft landing.Thanks buddy! Appreciate ur response on monday morning
Hello, I have two questions.
1. I did my soft landing in Canada and I’m back in the US now. I want to apply for SIN number. In the form, what should I answer for the question “Are you currently residing in Canada?”. Can it be delivered to the US address? Also, if I apply for SIN number, does that mean I also need to start filing taxes for Canada?
2. Does anyone know how to apply for a Health Card? Is it possible to apply for a health card and have it delivered to a canadian address while I’m in the US?
Appreciate all your responses.

Appreciate all your responses.
1. You can apply using US address, answer no to the question and provide your US address. I am not sure about filing taxes part
2. I haven't applied for health card yet
FYI - I got my SIN at my american address couple of weeks ago
Can confirm this. I got my SIN mailed to my US address today, As for the address proof, I used my US DL and took ~3 weeks to get it.
You usually don’t qualify for a health card with a short landing. There are specific residency requirements to receive healthcare in each province. These RO are different than those required to keep PR. You must be in Canada to get a card and it requires having your picture taken.
Hello All,
I completed my soft landing yesterday and all went smoothly. I have a quick question regarding applying for SIN while staying in the USA.
1) Can we provide our US address and the SIN will be shipped? Anyone who successfully got the SIN at US address?
2) Can anyone point me to the application process for SIN and details around this.
Thanks for your time

Can you please tell me which address you gave for PR card. Officer told me that I will receive my PR card at my US address. Can you tell about it and they also told me to submit import goods document when I land permanently later.
Hello All,
I completed my soft landing at Windsor Port of entry on Sep 15, 2020. I returned the same day to USA with out quarantine. The officer at Windsor border said that I apply for PR card and provide goods to follow list when I am actually ready to move to Canada permanently by informing IRCC. Does anyone has similar experience? What to do next?

Hello All,
I am new to this channel. I had few queries regarding soft landing and using AVR
I have received my COPR before March 18th 2020 and will have to do my landing process shortly . Planning to do soft landing via land Peace Arch Border. I am in US and initially was on F1 and then applied for H1B which got approved and started the H1B status from October 1 2019. I have not left the country and do not have a H1B visa stamped.I have the F1 visa in my passport which is valid till 2021. I have two questions:
1. Does change of status from F1 to H1B mean that the F1 stamp existing on my passport is expired?
2. Can I use AVR to reenter the country with approved I-797 document and current I-94 which is D/S as expiry date when I first entered United states on F1?
3. What happens if I complete my soft landing in canada via land border and after the processing for PR at canada border I try to enter US via AVR, and for some reason(just being extra cautious) they do not allow me to enter, can I go back to canada and continue as PR on the same day?
Please help in a lot of confusion...Thanks in advance!!!!
