Hi uwaterloo,

We are in same boat. However, you got much faster response from them.

The sputum test result takes three months, right?

I meant that he wanted to land before traveling. So, he called the call center to make sure if he comes back without PR card, he can enter Canada but the call agent advised him that he may not be permitted to come to Canada without PR card or traveling document. The reason is that when you land, your immigration visa and student visa are voided and you cannot use them anymore. Therefore, he first traveled and when he came back, he did his landing at airport.
Thanks Viva2014

This story makes sense. Will share my landing experience with you guys.

Best

Hi guys,

I sent my passport out last night. I have a plan to visit my family (going to my country end of August). o you think better I do landing right after I receive my passport or I wait till go to my country and do landing back from there? Thank you!

BTW, I received my work permit, too. Do you know if I can use work permit VISA to go to my country and back to Canda?

around 10 weeks, and take the second chest x ray three months after the first one. I guess you are fine with the medical exam. Your PPR probably is on the way 8)

Guys I am finally going to the border tomorrow (Friday) to land. I was just wondering about the documents I should take with me: Passport+COPR papers+study permit+bank statement showing the last 2 months. Anything else I should take with me? like photos? or any other documents? Apreciate your quick responses as I should leave in about 12 hours :)

It's better to get an employment letter from your university indicating the amount of RA and TA you are earning and the length of your contract . Some officers at borders ask for employment letter not bank statement and it's better to have it just in case.

These are that you must have for landing

-Immigration Visa
-COPR
-Bank statement (only your Balance)

They may ask you to return all of your study and work permits, because you do not need it any more.


Good luck with your landing
