Immigrants under FSW can land any where and stay anywhere. Place mentioned in application form means nothing

Hi,

You can land in Calgary. The procedure and formalities applicable to New Immigrants are same as in other International airports. I will give a quick briefing:

When you land at Calgary, your first direction is to the Customs counter. Show your documents, answer the simple questions of the officer and also show the list of "goods to follow" if you have. When finished from there, go to the Immigration Counter where you have to hand over the documents again. The IO will briefly interview you. Then landing will be officially confirmed by signing the COPR by you and the officer. After that go to the baggage clearance area, collect the baggage and stept out of the airport. You will be a Canadian Permanent Resident.

As a federal skilled worker, we can chose any POE in Canada & complete our landing formalities, regardless of the destination mentionned in our Apps or the COPR, except Quebec* [details below].

Canada's immigration laws provide for a 2 step process for our visa applications:
>Step-1. The CIC/CHCs carry out stage One (read our apps processing system).
>Step-2. Carried out by an Immigration Officer at the POE.

Reg. step-1, we are already familiar. This is how we get our PR Visas. For the step-2 (at POE) however, landing is our "Right". Though not an 'automatic right', we must still satisfy the officer at the POE that our entry is permissible: A12(1), called the 'Verification of PR', outlined in Sections 19(1)& (2) of the Act. But, another thing is also involved in this step-2, called 'Completion of the Record of Landing' for admission into Canada, which is obligatory.

For this "Record of Landing", 'admissibility' is not affected by our choice of POE. All it's needed is to fill up certain forms, specifically the PR Card form (IMM 5444E), wherein we have to provide an address for card delivery. This can be anywhere, beyond the POE. This is how newcomers with COPR destination as Montreal-Quebec drive thru the POE of Sarnia, Bluewater Bridge. There are many other examples, but for brevity I just chose one.

*There is only 'one' catch though. For Quebec, although any FSW would be allowed to enter thru a Quebec POE, they cannot complete the 'Record of Landing' here. And would have to further drive/fly to another province (any) to report to its Immigration Officer for the 'completion' of record of landing. This is because Quebec needs the CSQ certificate to complete this procedure. Which only is for a Quebec PR applicant. (however, it is not vice-versa... a Quebec PR applicant can do all the formalities in any other Canadian POE).

End Note: Anyone of us can land in any Canadian POE, irrespective of what's written in our apps or the COPR.

hi,
Does this mean a Quebec applicant can land in any other POE other than Montreal or Quebec. With his CSQ & canadian visa he can complete landing formalities and reside in any province in canada even if he is a quebec FSW applicant????
