valid and “accurate” advice, though this has been discussed on this forum many times in the past:
So, if we forget about Canadian see borders with Russia, Norway, and Denmark in the Arctic, Canada shares borders only with the States. If you wish to use to your immigrant visa to land at a port of entry, you can go to any border and cross the Canadian side to reach the US customs. Then let them know that you would like to go back to Canada to complete your immigration process... and be polite with the US officials as you are in the American territory. A US border protection officer may or may not interview you or send you to secondary inspection. They will then issue a note stating that you were denied entry to the USA due to lack of documentation. You will need to present that to the Canadian border services agency officers when you return to the Canadian side. They will then examine your case and if they approve your admissibility, they will grant you permanent residence status. Make sure that you have these documents ready when you appear for landing: your valid passport, an immigrant visa counterfoil (if you need one), Confirmation of Permanent Residence, proof of funds (or arranged employment in Canada).
Your other option is to call CIC's call centre and arrange an appointment for doing your landing in a local CIC office. This takes longer as those officers aren't 24/7.
God bless you for this wonderful info. Very Helpful. How do i give you +1? What do i need to click? Thanks
