What did you answer that made her change her mind?

Did they actually ask you to show ETA? According to CIC web site to carry a piece of paper is unnecessary: Seems that once airline is aware of person's PR status they demand additional docs. But what about when they are not aware? So I'm actually wondering if anybody (except Americans and...

Here is our timeline for embassy processing the PGR request (in case when when PA is outside of Mexico). All this is coming from GCMS: We sent fingerprints and photos to Mexico and they were delivered to the embassy on Dec 11 2016. On Dec 16 embassy forwarded the docs to PGR. PGR issued the...

I think can also take commercial transportation - since there are no ETAs for land transport the passport should be accepted.

Signed. But keep in mind that these parliamentary petitions almost always end up in a dead end. If you read responses to a bunch of these petitions you would realize that the government almost always issues some vague response about how important the topic is and how the matter will continue to...

How did it go?

I suppose so also, what about the mysterious "please for"? Is that "Pleased to provide recommendation for positive eligibility decision" or "Please transfer case to lead officer for eligibility decision"?

Hi, could anyone help to decipher the last sentence of this note (last note in the file, by VO officer): "All documents requested in the file. RPRF paid - MEDS VU [date]. Please for ELIG / DEC." Thanks

Interesting experiences, must've been nerve-wracking. Thanks for sharing. My motive is to help others with information, I myself am a citizen of Canada. If others have similar experiences, please share so that we have a concrete base of information.

CIC has to justify it's own self-importance. There is no logical sense in requiring PRTD or a PR card for boarding from PRs from visa exempt countries. Chances are the same person can make their way to USA and they WILL be allowed to enter Canada overland without neither of documents, EVEN in...

Airlines don't ask to see your ETA anyway, authorization to board you onto a flight to Canada is provided through a computer. They will scan your passport and tell you whether you're good to go. COPR associated with your passport will serve the function of the ETA

Would be interesting to hear from Americans, however, Americans are in a somewhat special category, they are excluded by ETA requirements. So for purposes of determining of what really happens when a new PR from a visa-exempt country decides to leave Canada without a PR card for a short trip...

You're spreading a bunch of misinformation. All PRs have the right to enter Canada, this is an essential right. The government makes it difficult for some to obtain proof of PR. If you present yourself at the border by whatever means, Canada has to let you in, regardless whether you are in...

I think expensive/cheap is relative and very individual. If a person has been working all their life to save up $8000 to come to Canada with a family, $50 might be a week's worth of work or even a month's time worth of saving, after living expenses. If money is a concern - some suggestions: If...

If you: 1. Have a passport from a visa-exempt country 2. Landed sometime in the past 3. Made a trip outside of Canada and returned by air back to Canada sometime between Oct 2016 and now Were you asked for your PR card during check in when flying back to Canada, or was your visa-exempt passport...

PR status is linked to passport same way that ETA is. Airlines are not asking people to show their ETAs, because the only thing ETA affects is whether board/no board is returned. I doubt PR cards are being scanned by airlines around the world, as much as we like to think of our country as...

It seems you are misinterpreting the process. It states clearly that the system sends "board/no-board" message, not a message like "person is a PR - request and verify PR card". The system verifies whether the holder of the passport is admissible or not, based on status of the person in CIC...

Are you sure you're not mixing up your degree with a different one, unrelated to English?

There is one more option - traveling to US and crossing the border to Canada in a private car or on foot.
