Well as it turns out, I had to get a round-trip ticket anyway, lol!...so that should make the airline people happy. I don't anticipate any problems, but there's definitely a 'gap' in the way these CoPR forms are handled. Perhaps after all is said and done, a review of the procedure is in...

I was wondering if someone here might have some experience, or know about the process it takes to get a travel document...here's the link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/travel.asp For those following this thread, it appears the only 100% legit way to travel as a...

At this stage, I'm seriously considering just removing the form, as nobody at the departing airport is going to be really paying that much attention to each and every page (her departing airport), let alone a few staple marks. The stamp itself doesn't say anything about permanent residence...

Yay, more forms...and money, yikes. Well, unfortunately they stapled her stamped CoPR into a page of her passport (right next to the stamp the border people put in there, I think it states she's a permanent resident)...to remove that document might not be smart. I guess I'll going on this...

Quick update: Everything went at the border just like you all said it would: very easy! The only thing that our own customs folks said was that in my wife's case of when returning to her home country for her belongings, to ensure she gets what they called a 'returning resident visa'. They...

Thanks guys. I was hoping they had some kind of exception for those wanting to 'flagpole land', lol, if that's even a term! It's going to be a very long drive to find out they won't let us do what we're expecting to...and unfortunately, she is visa-exempt in Canada but not the States...and...

Sweden, could you take a look at my previous post and tell me what I can expect at the Canadian border?...and which border did you cross, the one in Whiterock (Douglas Crossing) or the Pacific (the 'truck' crossing)...I was just there last year but wasn't driving so I can't even remember...lol.

Happy Holidays, all! I have a big question, and time is not on my side. My wife and I are planning to get her CoPR signed at the US/Canadain border south of Vancouver BC...as described in the above posts. I tried to get a hold of someone at the border today, but unfortunately I think it's...

Copy that, I will inform her to not show the CoPR until she gets to Canada customs. After reading through the other posts, that makes sense to me. She'll just say she's a tourist and I doubt they'll say anything, just like last time...although they did mention about what you describe, but if...

...and what is a B4?... :o I read a few pages of your links, is this some type of form to claim goods upon entry into Canada?...wonderful, more forms..lol. My wife's goods are confined to a few suitcases...no vehicles, appliances or shipped goods like that. Will she still need some kind of...

"Don't forget to consider prep time for your wife's B4 to cover all the goods she will have following and have it stamped upfront. " Thanks for the links, OhCanadiana...I'm not sure where you're going with this, though...are you talking about her claiming the value of her belongings on the...

I don't think we'll need to show proof of return ticket at the airline desk, as long as she presents her authorized CoPR and passport...they asked this in Germany when we were flying back, not for a return ticket but for a PR card. They just let us know that we'll need a return ticket or proof...

I'm no expert, but I tried to apply for healthcare using my wife's CoPR but they wouldn't accept that...the form needs to be completed by a border agent, stamped and dated. From there, the person is now considered landed and a permanent resident. Then you take that completed CoPR and can apply...

Thanks, Sweden. I think I'm pretty clear about how to proceed from here, but when you say passport, you're just talking about the stamp they put in her actual passport, correct? Are you saying that if her home country sees that PR stamp (or whatever they do to her actual passport), they might...

That sounds like it makes sense. After my wife's visa gets stamped and she gets her CoPR completed, I don't see any issue for her coming back to Canada...I just don't want any surprises at the border if an agent has a problem letting her into the country without the PR card. I can't see it...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. My wife is from a visa-exempt country. It's sounding more and more wise to get the CoPR forms signed at the US border asap. She holds a passport for her native country, but from what I read they don't do anything to her passport...who knows, maybe they do...

I'm a bit worried about that one, if only because we don't know about what procedure we have to do with the embassy in her country regarding her immigration. If she declares she's a visitor in her home country at the airport, it might cause some issues...I'm not sure. And travelling with the...

That was one of the options we were told from my representative at my MP's office: we could go to the US Border and get it stamped, but then that complicates a few things. Since she's going back overseas to get her things, she won't be able to get back into the country with the (completed at...

First, thanks to all the replies...nothing is as helpful as experience. I should mention that what makes our situation a bit different is that even though we applied outland, my wife is visiting me here in Canada. As we're going through our Member of Parliament's office, they have been making...
