In our case, since Children completed landing procedures earlier, they were allowed to enter Canada by both airlines and border agents at the airport without PRTD or PR card using their US passport. But since this is a grey area, my advise is that US citizens should apply for PRTD or PR card...

Do you happen to already have a visa in the same category (i.e. B1/B2 visa) from the past to be eligible for drop box? You should include all the information that was requested. It does not hurt to include any additional support document copies as long as you believe they do help your case and...

Please share any updates on your findings.

Airlines are more likely to suggest contacting IRCC and IRCC appears to be busy processing Afghan applications :) Similar discussion which seem to indicate that it is recommended to have PRTD but not necessary for US citizens and their entry will not be blocked...

I think we are having some miscommunication. I applied to Canada through express entry program and included my family as dependents as part of the application process while I was in States. And that was what I was referring to by sponsorship. We all landed successfully but the kids went to...

We sponsored them, completed landing procedure and moved from States just before pandemic but kids were stuck in India with grand parents.

Thank you Canuck sir for your prompt response. Yes, Children are PRs since they have landed using CoPR but they never resided in Canada yet.

Hello: I am a Canada Permanent Resident along with my family. But, my wife and kids had to travel to India for a family emergency. While my wife has her PR Card, my kids who are US citizens could not get PR cards processed in time for travel. Few questions: 1. Can my kids fly into Canada...

If you are looking to travel by Land, you can use COPR until your PR card is obtained. If you are looking to fly into Canada, you would need PRTD since you cannot use COPR.

You can rent out your home on H1B in USA but have to report your rental earnings and expenses to IRS. Similarly with CRA in Canada, you will have to report the home value on the date of final permanent residency when filing taxes and any rental or profit from sale would be taxable.

Non-essential travellers entering Canada through the land border will soon need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before arrival, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today. CBC.CA Link: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/negative-test-land-1.5906962

Canada is extending the requirement for travellers to provide a negative COVID-19 test to land border crossers as early as Feb. 15. Travellers who come to the border without showing proof of a negative COVID-19 test could be refused entry or face fines of up to $3,000. CIC New Link...

Hello: I currently live in Windsor, Canada and commute to work occasionally in Michigan on H1B work visa for a client. My employer is a staffing agency firm located in California which sponsored H1B work visa for me. I am just wondering if most people who do the cross border commute usually...

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hello: Just wondering if during your soft landing, you submitted "BSF186 - Personal Effects Accounting Document". If YES and you included previous vehicles but not the current new car, you might have to pay duties.

Below is a good site for school comparison for different school years: https://www.compareschoolrankings.org/school/on/elementary/220817 Glenwood Public school ranks at 5.9

I agree that officially soft landing is discouraged but people continue to cross border for soft landing. So, read the other threads for similar experiences and make a decision if you would like to take that risk.

Hello: Congratulations on making a decision to move to Canada. 1. Once you move to Canada permanently, your wife may or might not be able to return to US on H4 at the descretion of CBP. It is highly advisable to switch to B1/B2 to avoid any potential issues. 2. It is recommended to keep US...

I agree that there is no reason for me to ask CBP to issue me a new I94. I will continue using my current one which is valid until end of this year and hope either my H1B renewal goes or I switch employer in between. @harirajmohan I really appreciate your prompt responses.
