It's similar to Australia but they've had the system in place for some time now. they are a bit better at communicating it though I believe I'm OK as I have a PRTD now and hopefully my PR card will be waiting in Vancouver when I arrive. Not sure about the OP though

Ah right thanks, I thought the ETA system had been implemented already, thanks for letting me know

I answered you in another post, cheers

Are PRTD's and ETA's reviewed at check in, I thought they just verbally checked and it was at Canada immigration that the physical check was performed. If someone could clarify for me I'd be grateful. The reason I ask is because when I flew to Canada in September they asked me if I had a ETA...

No worries, as a judge would say I can only help based on the facts at my disposal, it's a policeman's job to search for evidence and make a case. As mentioned above if an OP only wants to write certain information then I can only base a response on that and I'm not inclined to go through all...

Go to this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/travel-document/ Select which country you're in and then follow the instructions. The CIC use a 3rd party administrator to process the application and then it's sent to the consulate or embassy. You'll need to call up the local VAC to...

Is that a question or a statement?

This is true and I have to admit I was slightly surprised to have received a multiple entry PRTD as on reading the CIC website it suggest that you actually have to request this or prove that you require one. On my application I hadn't actually requested but in actual fact I'm glad I do have...

Fair enough, my logic works along the lines of that if you want an answer to a question it's better to give all the facts rather than bits and pieces My logic also extends to the fact if you ask the same question multiple times, you're bound to end up with the answer you've engineered or wanted...

I was answering a question based on the OP's question and add further point. Either way once his PRTD is issued he'll see it on the actual document. I'm afraid I don't have the time to go through a posters other posts to see the background as to why they are applying for a PRTD. If it's for...

It's written on the PRTD, mine is multiple entry valid for a year

Hi there, I had exactly the same issue as you. Landed in Canada and then had to leave before my PR card was ready. When I applied for my PRTD all I had was my COPR. I applied for my PRTD in Hong Kong and wrote a covering letter explaining that I only have the COPR and no other document due to...

I wouldn't buy a car seat in another country and take it with you either. Apparently the car seat has to be authorised in Canada. We joked with my wife's cousin about the seat needing a Maple Leaf and she said yes it does. If you're pulled over by the police and the child seat isn't one...

Thanks for the info, I've spoken to a mortgage broker and he said I'm fine and none of these changes will impact me too much. In fact My issue is whether to buy a property outright and not mortgage or taking out a small mortgage As you quite rightly point out getting the mortgage without a job...

Just an update, I've received my PRTD 3 weeks after applying they've actually giving me a multi entry visa so assume if i go in and then out again and i still don't have my PR card I can use the multi entry PRTD happy days

Is there more to your background that you don't want to share? if you don't then that's OK. How did you end up in Canada in the first place? More for my interest because it's the first time I've heard of a Finnish national end up as an illegal immigrant in Canada via Norway

Just my opinion on this but I don't think you'll find too many people on this forum who would advise or assist with someone who is quite clearly trying to cheat the system. As another poster pointed out, there are a huge amount of people in a similar situation all of whom are going about...

I am also slightly confused as to what you're asking. If you're an illegal immigrant I'm sure the authorities will be more than happy to assist you in leaving the country as they have no more desire for you to be in Canada than it seems you do. However, they may send you back to where you're...

Have a look at this on the CRA website Step 1: Determine if you have residential ties with Canada The most important thing to consider when determining your residency status in Canada for income tax purposes is whether or not you maintain, or you establish, residential ties with Canada...

I think your chance of getting a refund are slim to none
