Does each applicant get a separate envelope with the PR card in it? Can someone tell if each applicant gets a separate envelope with the PR card in it?

We still haven't received our PR card after the soft landing in September 2021. No response from IRCC after multiple requests. We can't even check the status. Anybody in the same boat? Any suggestions on how to go about it?

Checking again if anyone did a soft-landing from US in September-October timeframe and received the PR card at the Canadian address given at the time of crossing? When I contact IRCC either by phone or webform I get the generic response that their resources are focused on the Afghan refugee...

Hi, Anybody here received their PR cards after soft landing in September-October timeframe?

Hi, Did you receive your PR card after first landing on October 5th? We've been waiting since September first week.

I tried to link the application as you described above, but the system can't even find our application. I have submitted webform requests 3 times so far, but all I get are auto-generated responses. Anybody received their PR cards after doing landing in September?

Not sure what you mean. We did the soft landing by land on a valid CoPR a couple of months ago. The CoPR was processed and we were told the PR card will be mailed to the Canadian address we provided. We are just not able to check the status of the same. When I log on to GCKey we do see the...

Sounds good. Thanks

Hi, The initial PR processing time has dropped by a month or so. I'm still unable to check the application status even after more than 2 months after our soft landing. Is anyone else able to check their PR card status on IRCC website? Thanks,

Are dropbox appointments in Canada readily available? Last I checked dropbox eligibility waived the requirement of previous visa interview location to be at the same location and visa expiration window was increased to 48 months until end of this year. Is this still the case? I had my previous...

Hi, I am considering getting my H-1B stamped from US Consulate in Vancouver either with an interview or via a dropbox. I haven't yet submitted DS-160, but wanted to know if the appointments are readily available these days? I already have a Canadian PR, so getting into and staying longer in...

Yup. They don't stamp your passport, but you can download I-94 right away and I recommend doing so immediately. Check for any inaccuracies. The U-turn within US was blocked, and we had to re-enter Canada and then the US again to fix the I-94.

Yes, did it last week. Took no more than 5 minutes.

Hi, Has anyone landed in the past few days and tried to check the PR card status or change address on the application? We did the land crossing last week and also got the SIN on the same day of the crossing. But when I went to update the address, which we provided at the border, for the PR card...

It was mainly a follow-up question in light of the COVID related restrictions on entering the US from Canada. I called US customs and spoke with the officers and they confirmed that there are no restrictions on H1's and H4's to re-enter the US. There is also no need to do a COVID test.

Hi Can both H1b and H4 re-enter the US after a short stay (less than 30 days) in Canada? Where can I find the latest entry requirements for the US?

Is H4 with EAD also allowed to re-enter the US by land, if accompanying H1?

Hi We'll be driving to Canada by car in next few days on a valid CoPR and return to the US within 30 days, so as to use AVR. We are required to do COVID test within 72 hours before entering Canada. We intend to stay in Canada for 2-3 weeks. Will we need to do a COVID test before re-entering the US?

Anybody recently did soft-landing at Peach Arch Douglas with AVR? What were your experiences? As long as you have a valid I-797 and a job in the US, you are allowed to re-enter the US right? Does one need to take a test while re-entering if you stay in Canada for a week or two?

So you were able to take Uber across Canada and user AVR on your flight back?
