Advice on travel arrangement to land to apply for PR card

[hereicomecanada]

Hello All

I was planning on entering Canada at the Niagara Border Rainbow Bridge on 15th of April to get the PR card processed. Answers to following questions can help me plan my trip:

1. Can anyone tell me how long does it take for the whole process at this location.
2. From the CBSA website, it says that the service is 24 hrs at this location. I just want to make sure they provide immigration service 24 hrs and on the weekend as well.
3. I was going to travel to Toronto on 16th for sightseeing. Are there any chance I can be asked to visit the office the following day (that is on 16th) to complete the process.

I appreciate your response

Thank you

1. the process itself takes 10-15 minutes. how long it will take you will depend on how many other people are there waiting to land.
2. call the border office you plan to land at. they will confirm.
3. i don't really understand your question. are you saying you want to enter canada on the 16th as a visitor and come back to land? if so, that's not an issue. CBSA isn't going to make you come back. they aren't going to care when you want to land. it is your responsibility to land before the expiration date on your COPR. if you enter canada to specifically land, then you will land that day. if you want to enter as a visitor and come back, then you can do that too.
