    URGENT: Landing through thousand islands bridge in personal (financed) car.

    Folks, My wife, our dog and I will be short-landing through thousand islands bridge (Landsdowne) on Wednesday 11 July.

    Who else has brought/is bringing a dog from US?

    We will be bringing my dog along for a short landing by land. We live in New Jersey, and have a NJ veterinarian issued rabies vaccination certificate. Any tips or suggestions for us when we return back to the US in 2 weeks? Thanks!

    Can you 'land' in Canada during a 5 hr stopover from US to Carribean Islands?

    Yes, I meant if I 'short' land using my valid COPR before August 2018, travel back to US, and then reenter by land using an expired COPR in november 2018, I should be fine?

    Can you 'land' in Canada during a 5 hr stopover from US to Carribean Islands?

    Thanks @canuck78 and @Bs65 , I did not realize that my tourist visa will be canceled once I land in Canada, necessitating a PRTD. Hmm, I should think more about this. A different question, can you travel to Canada from the US in a private vehicle with an expired COPR?

    Can you 'land' in Canada during a 5 hr stopover from US to Carribean Islands?

    Thanks for the input vensak. Waiting in a plane for 60 minutes sounds kinda extreme. Definitely a 3 sigma event. If that happens I wont land, but if I get of the plane and still have 4.5 hours to go, then I'll make a run for it.

    Can you 'land' in Canada during a 5 hr stopover from US to Carribean Islands?

    Thanks folks. I hold both a tourist visa and a PR visa. Looks like I might need to wait upto 2 hours or so.. should be manageable to do this in 4.5 hours.

    moving to Canada

    I agree. You've got a comfortable life in India, earning $100k between the two in a place where cost of living is a fraction of Canada. What's the point of going through the struggle - goes against the premise of wanting a better life.

    Can you 'land' in Canada during a 5 hr stopover from US to Carribean Islands?

    I am planning a trip from NYC to the Bahamas next month. My immigrant visa is good until August 2018. My United flight stops over at Toronto (YYZ) for 4.5 hours. 1) Can I do a short landing during this trip? 2) Is 4.5 hours enough time to do so? 3) Is it recommended to do so? BTW, I am the...

    Is it really worth it?

    With a PhD in Mech Engg, have you explored the possibility of working in tech startups? I assume you have good coding and math skills, and these could be very useful in tech companies. Yes, it may not be mech core field, but at least it should provide a good salary and peace of mind.

    FBI US PCC which applications are currently being processed ?

    Thank you, understood. So you still have to take fingerprints via ink and paper, and you still have to wait 16 weeks right?

    FBI US PCC which applications are currently being processed ?

    Sorry for a naive question: Isn't it that people without green cards could only use the paper ink option while sending fingerprints to FBI? Has this policy changed? Can someone on H1B/F1 send fingerprints electronically now?
