hi guys,

I sent my updated employee reference letter and other supporting yesterday via email to CIC.

Can i expect any kind of acknowledgement? do i need to send the same set of documents via post?

Looks like we December applicants are having hard time in getting the updates from CIC. I have raised GCMS notes on June 26th but haven't received it till now. Today morning I have sent an email to ATIP-AIPRP @ cic.gc.ca asking them to check the status of my GCMS notes.

Hopefully I will hear something back from them.

Hi All...

Done my landing yesterday at Niagara Falls...walked through Rainbow bridge towards USA, got the FlagPole letter from US Border security for my family & returned to CANADA. I have US B1/B2 visa but my wife & kid does't have US visa. The process at the US border took around 15-20 mins. The process at Canada border for completing the landing formalities including the wait time was around 45mins.

Almost same timeline, and sent passport a little late than you, and going to land in local office, which would take a long waiting time.

Congrats Bommas!

In FlagPole process, Do they put any reject stamp or anything similar on passport for refusal of entry in case of not having proper US Visa?

They shouldn't do, it's known as an 'Administrative Refusal' and doesn't get recorded as a true refusal. I've done it before and had no problems going into the US on later occasions.

 

[cec122014]

Thanks felixfinch for clarifying...

 

[vmehndi]

please confirm my understanding that i and my spouse does not need to have a US visa for completing the landing formalities. we can simply walk (i dont have a car) on rainbow bridge and come back with admin refusal?

 

[cec122014]

Yup... As per information provided in multiple forums my understanding is: they will issue a letter that you are refused to enter in US due to administrative reason (no side effects for future travel as clarified above ). You will go back and provide this letter to Canada officer and all set.

Members, Please correct if i am missing anything here.
