Thanks. I posted a few more questions in the landing topic, but would highly appreciate if you could answer them - 1) Our COPR says that our destination is Toronto, but can we enter through the Washington State - BC border? 2) What are all the documents we need while entering for the first...

Hi guys, we got our COPR in November and will be looking to make a soft landing by driving in from the US next month. We plan to stay only for a day or two and then drive back to the US. Can someone please help me with the following questions? I will highly appreciate it - 1) Our COPR says...

Hi guys, I have my COPR and immigrant single entry visa, and live in the US. I want to soft land next month, by driving into Toronto. My question is, if I need to appear for a job interview after my first entry, will I need to wait till my PR card is issued or can I enter with COPR again? I have...

Hi, has anyone entered Canada after receiving the COPR for the first time (soft landing) while driving from Seattle to Vancouver? If so, how was that experience?

And is it usually approved? It does not affect the case as such right? And is the approval and return of passport faster in the Delhi consulate than if I were to send it to Ottawa?

Thanks. Have you ever had anyone ask for an extension on the 30 day window? How easy is it for IRCC to approve?

Guys especially @legalfalcon @KiranK and other experts, I have a peculiar situation on which I need your guidance - I am one of the people who passed medicals fairly quickly and since then have been stuck on IP1 (AOR July 9th and MP July 20th). I reside in the US. My wife recently had her H1...

Thanks a lot for the clarity, Kiran. I was not aware that the file for applicants from the US goes straight to Ottawa without going to the CIO. Can you point us to the link for the same on the CIC website, just for our relief? Secondly, I have heard that Ottawa office is supposed to be faster...

Thanks again. So where did you learn about where your file is? Over phone or email? If it was over phone, did they ever respond to your email? if it was over email, how long did they take to respond?

Thanks. I have the number, but its really difficult to get to an automated message stage, and I have never been able to get to a live agent. Have you sent them an email ever? Do they respond quickly? Is there a format for subject?

How did you reach them? I have the same timeline and situation. In IP1 since July 20th and reside in the US. Also, how can I check where my file is over email?

Nope, I was going to ask you the same question :(

It mentions "Changes in Employment" in that link. Are you sure I do not have to let them know? What if they call my company and learn that I no longer work there.

Ok thanks. ANother question is around employment. If I wanted to resign now and go on vacation before I look to move to Canada, and raise a CSE when I do resign, will that raise any alarms there or would it be taken normally?

That is what I am little concerned about. Lots of folks have reported getting PPRs in 5-6 weeks of AOR, and these are folks with AORs in June and July. We are in a time crunch here, so I want to avoid doing anything that pushes us back. 2-4 weeks for CSE documents to be uploaded seems very long...
