    Exporting a Vehicle from the U.S. and Importing into Canada: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

    Recently imported car into Canada in Toronto. Drove across at Lewiston-Queenston crossing. The whole process of export, import, inspection, registration, insurance, was frustrating and time consuming but not impossible. Canadian Tire wanted $700 to fix the fact that car had a "DRL Off" option...

    Dependent land before Principal Applicant?

    Can my wife (dependent) enter and do a "landing" with her CoPR ahead of me (the principal applicant, sponsored under PGP program)? She could do the landing in transit to Vancouver at Toronto airport, flying in from the USA? I plan to drive a month later to Toronto with a CoPR, and we will...

    Recent COPR recipients, travel USA to Canada and back without landing?

    Hi! We were sponsored under the PGP program and finally got our COPR a few days ago. We are US citizens and have driven to Toronto many times before. We had planned to visit family again on August 10, after the border re-opens on August 9. We would rather put off landing for a few months because...

    I still have a question: We had planned a visit to Toronto to see family, on August 10 after the USA-Canada border opens. This time we will only stay for a short time. Do we necessarily have to land on Aug 10, or can we enter as visitors (US citizens) and in a couple of months land officially...

    How long should it normally take for COPR to be issued after pp page copies and photos have been received by the Ottawa office? The Fedex delivery confirmation shows these were received on July 6. There was an update on July 14 on CIC under Final Decision (last line): "July 14, 2021 Your...

    Thanks. Maybe better not to muddy the waters by using Canadian address. Latest PPR request letter dated June 29, and also now showing DM2 on ecas (just checked; must have been updated June 29 also?). First ppr letter was received June 4 but did not give address where pp page copies and photos...

    This was exactly the version of the letter I got on June 4. There was no return mailing address included in that letter. I asked via webform, and I got another letter a couple of days ago, similar but does not ask for height/eye color. No idea what is going on. The letter included address(es)...
