    Using Land Border or Airport when returning to Canada without meeting RO

    Of course go major airport and go through automated kiosk. Don't take risk being asked anything at a land port. I don't mean kiosk is for sure to be safe, someone said there's some mark for people who are screened out. My experience is OK. I passed without issue at YVR however I was only several...

    does US day trip count as day if I was in Canada same day?

    If you live in US close to the border, you can drive to Canada on 11:55PM and back on 12:05AM. You only need to do so every two nights, you satisfy 100% RO by visiting Canada 10X365/2=1825 minutes or 30 hours per year...

    Crossing border from the States (private vehicle) without valid PR card

    They know your status only if you give any government issued ID which correctly shows your name and date of birth. You don't even need an expired PR card. You don't need a passort to enter Canada by this way. Drivers license or Health card works pretty well (you could lose your passport during...

    Your kid will be 100% OK, just don't lose your kid's valid pr card, because to apply for prtd for him is a headache. CBSA is very friendly to family with kids.

    Time Spent Outside Canada - IMM 5444

    The thing is to calculate outside days...doesn't matter you went to ABCD countries, for IRCC, they only care about your IN and Out of Canada.

    Pick up at IRCC office...now what?

    I believe the personal pickup is random and not related to PR living in or out of Canada. And for sure, people living out of Canada still qualify for PR card renewal. A PR card is just a travel document. It's the same or maybe more important for PR living out of Canada. I don't agree that IRCC...

    With my application expierence, online portal will be processed to middle of March now, if there were no strike. But they added around 2 weeks to wait 76 days now compared with Feb, I think they are doing the beginning of March. Paper application could be even slower.

    May I return to Canada? How?

    If you don't have a H/C base, it's very hard to win the case. How old is your kid? If it's less than 6, you'd better leave her back and try this out yourself first. I heard that many people come to Canada with visitor status and find a job here, then change their status to work permit. Canada...

    PR Card Renewal stuck at "Decision made" for 2.5 years

    Sorry to hear this. Have no idea why it comes to this. But to apply for PRTD, I suggest a US visa instead by entering Canada through land entry. No uncertainty issue, and air tickets from US generally cheaper than from Canada
