Hi can you confirm if this rule is only for provincial nominees? As a FSW stream PR, I don't remember committing to any province. I did put down Toronto as my city of choice during application but that was years ago (2019!) and a lot of things have changed since.

Hi, I finished my landing formalities in Dec 2021. I left Canada to wrap up things in my home country and am planning to move back for good in May 2023. My PR card is valid till Feb 2027. In my PR application my port of entry was listed as Toronto. I however plan to move to Vancouver since I...

No, i believe that happens for land border crossing. Just the usual customs declaration by air route.

Hi, I outlined my experience here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/soft-landing-experience-at-toronto-via-air.753666/ It was pretty smooth. Would recommend it! Good luck.

Hi everyone: I did my soft landing last week and thought I’d share my experience. I’m in the US on an H1B visa valid through next year. US-Toronto Leg Documents to carry: COPR (both copies) Passport Documents to upload while checking-in to your flight (using flight app or website): Covid...

Oh that's a bummer! I was reading about people giving their friends/relatives' address and getting it mailed there. Do you know when this change happened of requiring signatures? Also, do you mean PRTD or temporary resident permit? Cuz once you land and get a signed COPR, you're a permanent...

Hi, Can you provide an update on what you did about the PR cards? Since your address wasn't taken, how did apply for the PR card?

Hey can you please clarify if they officer took your address and if you were able to get a PR card? How are you planning to re-enter canada later?

Hi guys, I'm planning to do my landing formalities this week. Landing by air at Toronto airport. I've been reading conflicting updates on landing wrt the PR card itself. Some here have been asked for an address by the immigration, some have been told to apply for PR card when they move...

yeah i think this sounds about right. thanks!

thank you very much for clarifying!

Can anyone who's traveled recently for landing and used ArriveCan tell me what option they picked for "What is the purpose of your travel?" on ArriveCan? None of the options seems to first time COPR traveler. Should I just pick "None of the Above?"

When filling out the arrivecan app, the app asks you the purpose of your visit. Which option should I pick? I feel like none of these options address a first time COPR completing landing formalities? Should I just pick "None of the Above?" Anyone have any recent experience? What is the purpose...

This happened to me. My initial set of pictures were rejected because the address on the back was smudged. i had to resend them. it doesn't impact your application in anyway. only adds a month to your CoPR generation timeline. CVS and walgreens are both good options. Good luck! EDIT: there is...

Hey, thanks so much for explaining this. I'm wondering if questions about "settling permanently" are asked at every landing interview? Or is it more common for folks traveling from the US? Do they look at other visas? For instance, if there's already a valid H1b in the passport? I guess I'm...

thank you so much for answering. hope you get your PR card soon! good luck.

thank you for clarifying! one last question: was the immigration to the US at the canadian airport? I'm hearing toronto has us cbp immigration check? Is that so? or was it after landing in the US?

hey, thanks for responding. appreciate it! that's good that they allowed you to give an address for the PR card even though you mentioned it's not a permanent move. was reading some posts on the forum where officers at the land border were not issuing PR cards for soft landing. was there any...

Where does it say on the website that one must be landing to "settle permanently" and was there any update to this? Do you know any one who did soft-landing via air?

Hi @_canada_1 and @Aravind1235, any updates on your plan to soft land by air? Have you guys landed already? How did it go? I'm thinking of doing the same and could really use some insight!
