yeah, how? QC is not part of Express Entry, thats possible. Explain howHow is that even possible? (the bolded part)
Sorry for the late reply. As far as I know, and especially for Quebec, and since you got your CSQ from them, you have to land there.Hello,
I have apply to immigrate to Canada as Quebec Skilled Worker, i got my CSQ and Immigrant visa. My question is can i land to a different Port of Entry other than at Quebec, that is Toronto. I learned that in some cases the Immigration Officer wont let you do the lending formalities and in other cases i read on the forum that is generally acceptable for an immigrant to land at a different POE than than on his COPR.
Plz reply urgently whether i can land at Toronto
I have the copr with destination quebec
Can I land in calgary Alberta and finish all the formalities there please advise
Land in Montreal complete your landing then take a domestic flight to Calgary just avoids any issues or doubts.I have the copr with destination quebec
Can I land in calgary Alberta and finish all the formalities there please advise
others can comment as well but You will have to be prepared to convince CBSA that you have no intention of staying in Quebec immediately following your landing given if not they could refuse to land you and just allow entry as a visitorHi
I got my PR Visa And COPR under spousal sponsorship and my intended destination is Mississauga, ONTARIO ,
I booked my flight and we will be landing in Montreal and staying there for 3 days and than from there we will be driving to Toronto, ONTARIO .
Is it going to be any issue ??
Please reply
Thanks
Guys,
Lots of us have got the visa/s lately [2010]. And we are now having some doubt about our 'choice of landing', after being on this great forum & having surfed enough reg. various Canadian cities. Thus, the question, "Should I Land in the City mentioned in my Application/COPR, or can go to another Canadian city"?
Please be Clarified that:
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 FSWs can land in any Canadian POE, irrespective of what's written in our apps or the COPR.
Hope that's of some help.
Qorax.
