Getting Landed while living in Canada

[tamarindball]

Pls join here if you're expecting to receive landing and are already living in Canada? Which option are you selecting - going to the border or a local CIC office to process landing documents? Do you know what you will be required to bring outside of COPR documents and passport? Is your spouse required to attend with you

Hey!

I've landed "from Canada" - required documents: COPR + Passport + B4 if importing anything now or later, and your address in Canada ( to send the PR card). It's recommended to bring the marriage certificate but I don't think anybody has been asked for it.

Going to the border is faster - most borders are open 24/7, so you can go anytime and land the same day you receive the COPR if you want.

Your spouse is not required to be with you ( it's nice that he/she can say "welcome to Canada" but not a requirement!).

Good luck,
Sweden

Hello (again) Sweden. Thanks so much for the advice. Seems like it will definitely be border for me. Didnt realise or had forgotten you landed from Canada too. I am in Ontario. Wonder if the Greyhound could bring me there - perhaps I could make a nice trip out of it especially if my spouse is unable to attend

if you don't need a visa to the US, then you can make a trip out of it. If you do need a visa, then you can get an "administrative denial" at the border and be sent back to Canada to land.

It's interesting you mentioned visa as I was just thinking the same thing for persons who don't have US visa. I do have one so I guess wouldn't need admin denial then? Do you know if I could still land at Buffalo (US/Canada border) as I know there was some close-down of that office last year even though I believe that relates to the PR visa section
