I received my passports on Friday and went to rainbow bridge Niagara on Sunday morning around 10 am. by walk.
At USA side
On right hand side of the bridge there is a clear sign : 'Pedestrian way to USA' - we just followed that.
Enjoy the Falls view
Get into USA border security office.
Wait for Door to open when Immigration officer finishes with previous person in line.
They asked us only one question - 1. Why you are here - Ans: Flag pole for Immigration to Canada.
It hardly took 10 mins to get us Flag pole - refusal form ( They gave single form with all family members name on it).
Return back to Canada Side from same door (USA folks would guide you any ways)
At Canada side
We entered into the door of Boarder Security office - First check point ( You will by default - there is no other way to escape that)
Officer asked us purpose and passports with COPR. After checking handed over the yellow form and asked us to cross the road and go to CBSA office.
Get into the office and wait for your turn. Here we were the first in line so it was pretty fast.. took around 30 mins.
Approx PR card time suggested is one to two months.
I would like to Thank you everyone for providing timely help and information.This forum is fantastic..!!
Hope to see you guys on Citizenship forum link few years down the line whenever we are eligible..
All the best and good luck to all who are waiting..!!
I crossed the border at Thousand Island (Lansdowne). I went there around 8 pm. No traffic on US side. Told the custom that we were here to land and we needed a refusal letter. He directed you in the building. Took around 30 mins to finish the paper work.Umer_Ali said:Hey man which border you landed and which time? I am planning to land at carway and just wanted to know if i can take rental car as i am also planning to go to waterton lake....Apart from that as we are not really entering US , do we need to tell rental company about US.....or if US authorities ask for any such paper from rental company or even if they ask anything about car at all?
Yes Next thing will be medical request.ShirSri said:Dear All,
I just came to know about such a nice forum and tracker - first of all thanks a lot for this!! Have applied for PR through a consultancy and my application was sent on July 30 2014,got an email on Nov 25 2014 stating that application received a positive determination of eligibility for processing and my credit card was charged. I was tracking the status through the ecas site, i got a second line update saying application was started for processing on Jan 21 2015 but till now i haven't received anything after that - can some one please advise is this expected as i understand the next step will be medicals received and till that there won't be any update in site and I haven't heard on medicals being requested.
I don't know the timeline for July 2014 applicants.ShirSri said:Thanks a lot canadababu!! i am not aware of gcms notes also kindly advise is there a timeline for medicals being requested.

congrats you will get request soon..dexterity said:I just checked my ECAS and third line has been added "we started processing your application...". I have not paid for RRPF fee.
It has been more than two and half months since my medical was received. Hopefully the rest of the process is faster.
