    Visiting Canada post-COPR without "landing"

    Is that allowed? I need an eTA to enter... If I'm already considered to be a permanent resident, then I'm no longer eligible for an eTA I find the whole thing rather confusing, and I haven't had any clear information from CIC about the whole thing :-(

    Visiting Canada post-COPR without "landing"

    In that case, if there's things that I haven't decided whether I'm taking them or not, should I list them anyway? For example, I have an iMac that I think I will sell before going, but if I hang onto it then it's better to have it listed... is there an issue with listing things that then don't...

    CES, ICAS, IQAS, BCIT or WES?

    I went with BCIT and had no complaints!

    Visiting Canada post-COPR without "landing"

    Thanks for the replies! I guess one other thing to consider is all of the paperwork, particularly with regards to providing a "list of items to follow". I guess I need to decide and make a list of what stuff I intend to ship when I land properly next year even though I won't be shipping it for a...

    Landing in Canada, how can I avoid the horrible UK exchange rate?

    It's a really complicated situation that got us to this point. We're a very old country and some aspects of history we'll never forget, and others we wilfully ignore. Anything that glorifies ourselves in generally celebrated and any of the many, many shameful things in our past are completely...

    Visiting Canada post-COPR without "landing"

    So, I think I have a couple of options: Option 1 (best option): Land in Canada in November, give CIC a friend's address for them to send the PR card to, and have the friend post the card to me in the UK so that I have it for my return. This option should be fine as long as the PR card is sent...

    Landing in Canada, how can I avoid the horrible UK exchange rate?

    They're going to cut off their nose to spite their face. I think "Hard Brexit" will happen, not because anybody actually wants it, but because the EU has told the UK that it's hard Brexit or no Brexit at all to punish the UK, and this arrogant government will pursue the hard Brexit despite the...

    Landing in Canada, how can I avoid the horrible UK exchange rate?

    I'm sorry that the UK government has decided to join the tabloid newspapers and morons across the land in blaming immigrants for everything. They're a disgusting bunch.

    Visiting Canada post-COPR without "landing"

    Hi all, I got my PPR last week and I should have my COPR soon (unless I've misunderstood something). Next month, I want to visit Toronto to see what it might be like as a place to live (I was originally planning to settle in Vancouver, but I'm now considering both). My question is, if I have...

    Landing in Canada, how can I avoid the horrible UK exchange rate?

    Forgot to thank everyone for their replies! The pound has tumbled even further since I posted this :( Still, escaping this country of braying, selfish nationalistic idiots is why I'm leaving for Canada in the first place :)

    Thanks Lazybone, but this doesn't really answer my question. The problem that I have is that my MyCIC account hasn't been updated to require any additional documents, so there's no place to upload the additional documents that I've been asked to submit to my MyCIC account. So I used the Web Form...

    To answer my own questions, I submitted the passport scan and letter via the CIC web form (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp) because I couldn't do it via MyCIC. If my MyCIC profile updates and the facility to upload the documents appears, I'll upload them there too, but at...

    Hi all, I feel like this is a stupid question and it's probably been answered a million times before, but I don't understand how to proceed now I have my PPR. I live in a country where a visa isn't required, and I applied through MyCIC. I understand that I need to upload a passport copy and a...
