Congratulations on you WP. Don't forget sending a copy to Seattle. It's also a way to poke them.

Hi, I have a question to people who landed in QC.
Did you go to the CA-US border? Can driver also go to the immigration office?
My husband landed yesterday. I really want him to company me to finish my landing.
I plan to take Highway 15. Is there a better choice?
Thanks!

Yeah , I went to Stansted border (I have taken highway 143).
Actually you go to the US custom (border) office and tell them that you "DO NOT WANT TO ENTER THE US" , that you are just completing your landing process. Then , the US border officer will give you a document stating that you have revoked your request to enter US. Then he send you back to the Canadian border , where the whole process of immigration visa confirmation (a.k.a. landing process) takes place. It is pretty straightforward , as long as you stay within the law.

Can the driver go to the US border ?? Mine did, by accident, and it caused us a 30-minute-nightmare-detention by the US custom officers. Beware of the following:
1. Once you are at the US border office, YOU ARE ACTUALLY INSIDE THE US TERRITORY, you have already crossed the border. You will have to go through their checking and follow the US law (no more Canada... hihihi !!!).
2. Anyone who crosses the border MUST BE CARRYING THEIR PASSPORT. It is the travel document that is recognized (not the ID card , nor the PR cards....).

My advice: go to the Canadian border , before crossing, and ask the canadian border officer what it takes for the driver to cross and come back with U. Get everything clear before crossing the frontier .

About the road you will take , I am not sure .... someone else will answer.

PS: you can also try to call the CIC and ask them about the landing process , and your driver crossing with you. Here is their number: 1 888 242-2100 (the waiting time may be long but an agent will eventually answer , give it 5-10 minutes).

Have a nice weekend & happy thanksgiving , ya all .

[fallsage]

Thanks, nkusi!
You advice is very valuable.
I landed yesterday. My husband crossed the border with me. Yesterday there was a long queue at the border from both sides. We spent several hours waiting inside the car.
U.S officers inspected the whole car and we waited about 1 hour. :-\
Anyway, everything is so far so good.

Thanks again.
Have a nice day!

did they ask you in the CA border about your current status?

I hope that everyone had a nice weekend,

Buffalo received my application on 18 Oct 2010, I received my AOR and Medical on 28 March 2011, Medical done on 14 May 2011. ECAS is still saying that application received on Oct 18, 2010.

I sent an email to buffalo regarding adrress changed last week and they did not respond to me yet.

(I faxed an address change to buffalo and they changed it, than my address was dissappeard for 2 weeks and it came back with the old address. )

Is this a normal application processing? What do i need to do? or who i need to contact?

Thanks for any advice

 

[Wadood]

Hi All,

I sent my application to Canadian Consulate at Buffalo using the address given by website, that is "Canadian Consulate General, 1 HSBC Centre, Suite 3000, Buffalo NY 14203-2884" using Canada Post's expresspost service.

I checked in their tracking system and found

"21:41 14606,USA Item redirected to recipient's new address"

Has there been any changes in address?

 

[stanka]

if you want to land on the border do you have to have a US visa?

 

[nkusi]

if you want to land on the border do you have to have a US visa?

No US visa needed, because you do not officially enter the US territory.

You just need to get to the US border , and TELL THE BORDER OFFICER THAT YOU ARE DOING THE CANADA-PR-LANDING-PROCESS. He/she will send you back to the canadian border, where you do the landing process.

Thanks. It's good to know.
