Once my passport comes back I will need to land, not sure which way to do this,:-\ so wondering where other people who are living in Edmonton or this way went to do their flagpoling. ;D
 
Hi Mandy,

First off congratulations! You must be relieved and excited!
I went to Coutts for all kind of immigration related purposes in the last 3 years, obtaining work permits mainly. I had a good experience with them at all times. There are other port of entries on the Alberta-US border, but not all of them is dealing with immigration, some is closed throughout the winter. You can have a look at the Canadain border services website and you will find the list with all the possible POEs. Good luck!

Last time I did my visa run I just booked the cheapest return flight out of Edmonton, which happened to be San Francisco (It usually is Seattle or Las Vegas). Got a mini-holiday out of it :)

Why don't you call the call centre 1-888-242-2100 and make an appointment to "land" at CIC Edmonton?
 
We drove down to Coutts also, long drive but it went smoothly at the border crossing for my husband.

Thank you PMM, that would be much better if I can do that, and save me some money ;D
 
My friends that have had to flagpole from Edmonton all have gone to Coutts. I didn't think landing at Canada Place was an option if you had to flagpole, it wasn't for them. But if you can, that would sure be quicker!

Hopefully so, I will call them and ask the question anyway, things are always changing ;D
