Thanks for the heads up. Are you on 14 day quarantine in Windsor? I am planning to drive to Toronto for the quarantine but not sure if they will let me drive that far.
Landing in Canada through USA during Covid-19
- Thread starter nirjhar18
- Start date
i presume such a thing would be applicable only to the visitors of the state. looks like the list for you to worry is getting endless!
Hey Nirjhar, was your COPR after March 18? Mine is after and I am thinking if I drive to the border, will they let me enter?
Hi can you please let me know what did they ask when someone took their own vehicle? did us border ask anything ant their car coz they might have given they VIN number to the CBS for import. Appreciate your reply I am planning to do landing soon in my own car.
did they process your PR card application application? Did you landed on any specific day? Appreciate your reply I am planning to land soon. Also did you use your own car or rental?
We traveled by our own car. Canadian Border agents only ask that if we own the car. We said yes and that's it. They never ask for title from us.
We didn't import the car, we told them we will do it later.
When arriving back to US, US agents ask weather we own the car or not, we said yes. That's all. They also didn't ask for title.

Thank you so much appreciate your reply. Did you submitted PR card application at the border? did you go on any specific day?
No. I am not. I am just going for soft landing. So if I am not essential worker. What are the things I have to tell them. Also my COPR is not expired.
Travelling from the US (group 2)
Applicants can travel to Canada from the US for non-discretionary reasons to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident if
- their application was approved
- they received their COPR and PRV and both are still valid and
- they have an acceptable plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada

I was able to do softlanding yesterday at the Detroit-Windsor tunnel.
The process was simple.
At border they asked if I was returning back to usa immediately. I said yes.
Then she pointed us to a parking spot and another officer attended to our documents.
He asked for the copr, got us to sign it, asked goods to follow list and car title.
Never asked for the canada address.
Returned a copy of copr with the passport.
and we were on our way back.
After reaching home, we tried to change the address online.....but it errors out saying the given information is wrong.
There is a dropdown for Place of Birth, but it has only country names. But in our documents "Place of Birth" is the town/city name.
Not able to change it. Did anyone face this issue???

I faced the same issue. While completing landing procedure, officer told me that they are not issuing PR card as such but provided the landing document that can be used to come to Canada anytime through land (not by air). When I tried to change the address online, it was giving me the same error that information is wrong. I did not find any solution other than going to Canada by land whenever I am ready to move permanently and applying for PR card. Let me know if you find anything.
