@Rob_TO So to sum up: A: Do not get a PRTD, show up to the border, and be ready to explain my H&C reasons. B: Once I get in there is no leaving for 731 years. Anything else that I should know? Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions.

@Rob_TO Thanks for your recommendation as well as explaining what will happen at the border. So if I understand correctly, before being reported I can still make a H&C claim? (similar to the one I would make in a PRTD.) Are they obligated to consider my H&C claim or can they refuse to hear it...

I'm guessing SIN is Social Insurance Number? I have it. I also have landing papers+to confirm I was still a PR I got a Verification of Status document. That paper shows that as of a couple of months ago my status is Permanent Resident. It also has all my original info like when I came etc.

As far as where I plan to live I'm in between McGill and University of Toronto. (Though I am still waiting on acceptances from both.) So that would be either Ontario or Quebec.

@meyakanor Thanks for the info. I agree that case scared me. After seeing mentions of the land border here I did some looking around on this forum and saw that people who live outside North America use it as a way to get into Canada because the planes will not let them on. My situation is...

All right, this makes a bit more sense. What exactly happens at the border? Can you please elaborate on how "reported" works? and p.s. do you recommend I get PRTD before hand or just show up? And just to double confirm land does not disadvantage me right? I don't want to get a flight ticket...

@meyakanor Why do they have different rules for people who go by land? Would you recommend I fly?

@canuck78 @scylla @Rob_TO Unfortunately I cannot. I hope I don't turn out like that person. I infer from Rob_TO's post that that case was related to a PRTD application. He seemed to have a good reason for being outside Canada, so it seems there may be some officials who go on power trips...

Could you please elaborate a little?

So I'm a little confused. I read the link and I most definitely don't want to end up in that kid's position. @Rob_TO What course of action do you recommend I take? If it has any relevance I live in Buffalo and my friend will probably use one of the Buffalo area crossings like Peace Bridge or...

@scylla Thanks a ton for the advice. I really appreciate it.

@canuck78 @scylla Thanks for the help on both the immigration and education front. I'm still waiting on acceptances but will surely look at UToronto. From a quality of life perspective I hear Montreal is better with their cheap beer, food, and a bit of that French joie de vivre. Guess my primary...

Looking at something along the lines of Political Science/IR.

@canuck78 I've also applied to UToronto, UBC, UAlberta. Any recommendations? Tbh in my country of citizenship no one knows about McGill. Everything there is either US Ivys or Oxford/Cambridge in the UK. But for some reason here in the U.S. Americans seem to love McGill and I have heard really...

@scylla Don't blame you. 17 now. Moving Summer 2018. Will still be 17.(shy of 18 by about a month.) I live in Buffalo and will be going to Canada with my friend who is driving us to Montreal. Want to know if I should just show up at the border or get a PRTD first. P.s. everyone else here is a...

Hoping to find some help as to what I should do. I cannot seem to make up my mind. My brief history: Asian national. became PR when I was 10. (7 years ago) Parents didn't stay in Canada and we left. Currently staying in Buffalo, NY, USA. My parents work here under H1B. Want to go to Canada...
