Hi Guys,
Completed my Landing From US On Road Sharing My experience.
Drove from New York to Niagara falls crossed the border at St Catherine's POE. Drove to the gate where the Border security asked what is the purpose of visit and where you are going to stay.
Asked about the Weapons or any chemicals on board the vehicle.
I told them I came to complete my Landing and There are no hazardous items on board.
He crossed out my Visa stamp on the passport and gave me a yellow slip and directed me to the Canada CBSA Office.
I went in and provided all the documents along
Proof of funds (Bank statements and A current snapshot off my bank stamped by the Bank and some cash)
List of items accompanied g and and items to follow, Provided a copy of my title for my vehicle and also pictures off the jewelry and other things.
The officer appreciated all the documents provided and completed landing procedure it took 20 minutes to complete the process
Went to Toronto and took rest for the day.
Visited friends and some places around the city .
Monday in the morning went to Canada services office and got my SIN Card.
Later went to Bank and opened Bank account's. I asked them for a secure Credit card so that I can build my credit I was informed that if You are FSW category they will give credit card by default no need for secure card( You just need to ask that was a news to me).
Tried for OHIP card they told that until i have a document to prove my residential status I cannot apply for one so I have to wait until I get my bank statement.
Will keep you guys updated how things go in a later post.

Hi All,

I have applied PR from Bufallo, Newyork . Recently i got the PPR request to send the passports them but i came back to India.
I tried to send through one of the courier and it is caught in Bombay and did not receive my passports still.
I have only the time limit till Jun 30th. I asked my consultant to send my file transfer to India but they said it is not possible.

Here my question is , Can we send passports through any of our friends who are going to USA? Is there any procedure for this like giving authorization? Is CIC see the port of entry if we are not in USA and sending passports them? Is there any process?

Anyway , I can give my consultant address for return address to get passports back.

Please help me if anyone has faced the same as i am in most critical situation..PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELPPPPPPPP

Thanks,
Sharath

Hi,

My brief experience at Buffalo Consulate.

I got PPR on May19th.Reached HSBC center by 8AM on June 16th.Were allowed in around 8.15.

Submitted passports for myself,husband and son along with passport size photos.

Waited around 30mins and was called to collect passports back .

It was quite simple.I left consulate by 9.15AM.Didnt expect to complete so quick but glad everything went well.

My US visa expires in couple of months so preferred to go in person.

Planning to move to toronto end of July.

Would like to thank each member of the forum for their guidance.


Heartful thanks once again and good luck to others who are waiting for PPR.

Thanks!!

You can send your passport with anyone you want to the Buffalo visa office, but it has to be included with a written authorization from you to him.


If the visa office is Buffalo itself and your file was not transfered to any local office in the USA, there is no need to give them any address back, just let the person who takes your passport go in person in the days of the week that they allow people to come and get their PR visas stamped same day.

There is no probelm for you being still in the US. or in any other country.

Do it as soon as possible to comply with the deadline given by them.


Good luck.

Congrats yogireddy. Can you tell me which bank told you that it will give you Credit Card by default if you were FSW. I am still struggling to get one for myself.

Hey Pro1, do you know if I can order CAIPS for my friend? If so how and what all do I need? He is in the US, applied under FSW 1 NOC 0213 in April 2009, got transferred to NY VO in May 2010, received medical request in October 2010, sent medicals in October itself, from which time his status is "Medical results received". He has still not received PPR and is getting canned replies from NYVO.

Hey you guys,
I just finished my landing and back to the States. Here is my experience for official thing (and later on with some "chicks" - keep on reading, it won't be long)

I drove my own car to Buffalo and crossing Peace Bridge to the other side without any serious delay (it took me about 30-40 min just to cross the bridge which is not bad at all). I didn't have to talk to any US custom getting out of the states (which was weird - I don't know about other US-Canada borders) drove directly to 15-lane-welcoming-porch and were directed to the "building" for further landing process. I was well-prepared, however it would never be enough, I was a little scare of "everything"...
The lady officer was nice to me seeing my pale face after waiting 30 minutes in the long line (I don't know what the heck is happening there, there are 2 families, 4-5 members each came before me for "landing too" and it took them forever to finish). After all, I was able to show off my bank statement, Car title, goods to follow lists and other paperworks. She didn't really care, check my passport, asked several questions like "What's your full name, BOD etc." and told me to give her the number of funds (she didn't take a look at the bank statement). Finally, she stamped the CORP, and asked me whether I know how to maintain the PR status (You know I can tackle well, right) and congrats me being a PR in Canada. And that was not all...
I will be back to the forum tomorrow for the later part o my story . Keep in touch
