@Pmovcan21 - I did not carry latest photos. They did not ask and do not require photos for sticking with copr. In fact, the Copr should already have the photos on it. - I took the RPTCR test via https://scl.fulgentgenetics.com/appointment/screen/landing, which is a provider in California. I am...

soft-landing-moving-to-canada experience on July 12th - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/soft-landing-moving-to-canada.730891/post-9553281

Mine said "V" (vaccinated). I did everything on July 12th successfully. I've posted a summary of my experience but the post is saying ( This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors.)

soft-landing-moving-to-canada experience on July 12th - I'll post a detailed experience soon. This is a summary post. I was able to successfully get CoPR validated as well as apply for a PR card. Went via road from Seattle to Peace Arch border. CBSA officers were very cooperative. I got the...

@MST555 or anyone who traveled recently - Did you fill details in ArriveCAN app before going? One of the questions in the app is "Is your travel exempt". Under "what is exempt travel", it only states 4 options - cross-border work, essential service, medical support and trade/transport. It...

Thanks a lot for sharing all the details, @MST555. This is very helpful for everyone else. I wish everybody did the same to help others. Thanks again! One quick question - Why did you choose to fly to Detroit from Seattle and not go via various Canadian borders that are so close to Seattle...

Thanks for sharing your experience in detail, @h1btocanadapr. It is very helpful to everyone else, very much appreciated. When you say you were not issued a PR card, could you please share what did you mean? As @k.h.p. mentioned, I don't think anyone is issued a PR card at the border. I suppose...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience @sidyerra. Could you or anyone please share a bit more about the GTF list? Do we need to show a GTF list even if we plan to return back and not settle in that trip? Did you fill form BSF186 for a GTF list beforehand or did you just write down the GTF in...

I can't find the other posts, but this is one of them where folks did soft landing but the PR card was not issued because they were not moving permanently. From the post it seems that if people provided any friend/relative's address for sending the PR card, officers considered as not a permanent...

Hi folks - Does anyone know of any link/post that has a complete list of all the documents we must take and all the things/steps we must do before going for CoPR validation (soft landing), such as entering info in ArriveCAN, etc.? Please share. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! To clarify, did you mean once we land in Canada and get CoPR validated, we qualify as "permanent residents" and CoPR letter will act as the proof? Won't we need the actual "PR card" to qualify being called as a PR and travel back to US employer temporarily?

There are posts in this thread discussing this part. Please have a look. You can find more details here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved Essentially, the official website says what is mentioned here...

Hey @mnsan81 @kadkhiq81 @J8ballo$ @Milehighguy: Could you please please help based on your soft landing experience via land? 1. I found these links which state that US will not let non-essential travelers enter via land during Covid. I believe F1/H1B/H4 are considered non-essential travel. Were...

F1 - yes, since it is for educational purposes. H1B - not so sure, since the example here mentions "essential" travelers who must travel between US and Canada due to the nature of their work, such as farming or agriculture... If anyone has tried to do this recently, then that would be great to...
