Hi Tanvi, Yes, I flew to Toronto from the US. I am not sure about that rule where COPR can be used to travel by land border only since I also used a COPR as well. In regards to the SIN problem, so basically I hadn't traveled on my initial COPR due to covid so I ended up getting a new one from...

Hi Tanvi, The PR card and SIN card will be mailed only to a Canadian address. COPR can be used only to travel once. I did my soft landing in April 2022 at Toronto airport. I faced some issues with my SIN number since I had a previously expired COPR which I didn't use mainly due to Covid, so...

oh btw I traveled through Air Canada

Hey all, I recently (last to last Saturday to be precise) traveled to Toronto to get my PR stamped and came back to the US (last Friday) on expired F-1 but valid I20 and I94 on AVR. The process as such was smooth. The airline personnel at the counter wasn't very much aware about the AVR process...

Hi Everyone, I am planning to travel to Toronto for soft landing in end of April and planning to come back on avr to US. I was recently told by an immigration attorney that AVR on land border is lot less problematic and easier than the airport? Is that the case? Has anyone recently done avr at...

I am thinking of using my own labels since time sensitivity is of essence but want to make sure that it is accepted

Hello all, I am asked to send my Passport for COPR and stamping to New York VAC. I am confused when it comes to shipping. In one instance the website mentions that I can only send passport using two way courier service offered by VAC but it is also mentioned that I can also use my own labels...

Also my COPR is expiring on 1st Oct 2020, so should I raise a webform now as a precaution or wait until my COPR expires?

Hi All, I am currently based out of Los Angeles CA which has highest number of cases of Covid-19. I dont feel safe to fly at the moment. I was planning to mention that in my webform request. I would appreciate if anyone can provide any recommendations about how should I word it in the webform.

You can call WES and give them an update saying that it shows on your end that packet has been delivered. I had a similar issue. WES usually doesn't update immediately on their end after they receive the packet based on my experience. Sometimes you might have to call them to do an update from...

Thank you for sharing the information. Does that mean the person has to show all of the above mentioned in the list? or anyone proof is fine.

Thank you for your reply. Any idea if I apply for extension, will my visa be approved easily based on my prior approval or do I have to repeat the process?

Hi Vaishnavi, Thank you for reply. Do you know if I apply for extension, what exactly are the next steps? will my visa be approved if I have a valid medical, PCC? or I have to do the entire process of going into the pool etc..

Hey Vamsi, Thanks for your reply. Can you share what kind of questions were asked at the Canadian airport to your friends when they landed? and did they do soft landing? if yes, how long ago was the trip?

Hi Everyone, I am on F-1 in US. I have a valid I20 and want to do a soft landing in Canada before my COPR expires on 1st Oct. I recently read that soft landing is not considered as an essential travel for validating COPR. I should only come to Canada if I am there for permanent settlement. Does...
