After PPR and Landing at Boarder in Canada....

[OhMyCanada!]

Hello Seniors,

Just a few quick questions:

1. If I get approved for PPR, do I have to then send my physical passport to Canada for them to put the CoPR, then only when I fly into Canada I then get the PPR card once I am settled at my new address ? I hear they courier it to that address, is that right?

2.Assume I get approved for PPR with family(wife and 2 kids, say) and we all have our CoPR, but upon flying into Canada, I choose to leave them behind so they can follow me after say, 2 months whilst I sort a few logistics in Canada like accommodation etc. Assume they can follow before their Visas expire. My question is at the boarder upon landing, will they allow me in without the other family members who were nominated as accompanying, but have remained behind? How best can one handle such a scenario? Are they not going to say I am not honouring the condition of the Visa issue(that I have accompanying members) but that they can't physically see with me?

When you get your PPR, it comes with all the inctructions on what to send and where to send it. If you are from a visa-exemt country, you need to send a copy of your passport and photos. If you need a visa to enter canada, they will need your actual passport and you eill get a travel visa along with your copr paper.

Your pr card comes in the mail about 1-2 months after you did your landing with your copr papers. I believe they only ship it within canada so you can have it shipped to your canadian address or maybe a friends addrss and they could forward it to you, if you are abroad. You will need it to enter the country going forward after pr.

As far as family goes, i dont see why you wouldnt be able to come first, as long as your family follows before your copr expires, which is 1 year after medical or when passport expires, ehichever comes first.
