Hi everyone,
How is it going ? Just an update, we got back last week on 23rd from India. The landing is done, everything went smooth at the airport. It took about 45 minutes for the whole thing and since we are in Quebec we had to visit the additional Quebec Immigration office.
For the PR:
The agent took everything from us, asked us to have a seat. Then she called my wife to take a photo; and we were then called by another agent right after. She asked a few questions, basic stuff - e.g., Is this your first time in Canada ? Then she asked about the goods we were bringing in, we had the B4A ready, and this was followed by if we were going to bring anything else later on. We said no, she stamped the passport, gave some instructions about the COPR document and then asked us to visit the Imm.QC section.
At the Imm.QC
We had to take a number and were called within 5minutes inside; the lady spoke with me in French and then spoke with my wife in English. She explained about the Health insurance, French classes.
And that was it we were on our way out right after.
Intersting thing to add is this whole process was done after we collected our luggage. I always remember them doing this at the section behind the custom agent booths. But the agent told us to collect our bags and then inform the agent who collects the declaration cards and they will direct you to the right section. This is for those who know the montreal airport.
In any case all is done now. We even completed our other formalities.
Good luck to all those waiting, hang in there..
Cheers
