LANDING IN CANADA ??? -All You Need To Know.

[rizmayo]

Thank you & your advise has been noted!...I believe their clients positive remarks have made me wanting to board Emirates to Canada

Best of luck

I agree with most of the comments abt Emirates... I have used this i guess more then 10 times and have always been satisfied. I am not flying this time as the flight for Canada from Dubai is 13 hrs which is quite long considering a kid with me.... I will recommend Emirates, plus they are kids friendly, they give kids some goodies etc in the flight from Dubai, though nothing from India to Dubai

Yea...he should kindly let us know in details as I will be boarding Emirates to Edmonton in May

1. 5 years.

2. During landing at the airport

3. During landing at the airport but if you don't have one, you can provide it later

4. SIN card is through Service Canada. I have heard they are at some airports now. If you don't see one, you can go to Service Canada in town and apply there.

5. You are not eligible for a health card if you are just visiting. You can apply for it once you come back to settle. In AB, you would apply for it at a registry.

Thanks a lot Leon for information..

Please answer the following please :

I got PR visa which will get expired in Jan 2014. Before visa expiry, I want to visit Canada once to continue my PR. My wife is pregnant and the expected baby delivery date is mid-May, 2014.

I will be travelling to Canada in April and apply for PR card and will be back in one week.

As my wife can't travel now, she will be visiting Canada alone after the birth of baby, in September and apply for her PR card.

After that, when we will move to Canada with PR cards in next year.

After that, we will get sponsor visa for our kid.

1. Is this whole process feasible?
2. Is it better for me to land in Canada before baby birth?
3. Is there any other option for us to continue our PR?
4. How much time it takes to bring our kid to Canada through Sponsor Visa?

Really appreciate the responses from Experts !!

Thanks !!

if i were you i would have chosen to land with the family asap in order to have the baby delivered in canada - where he will be able to get canadian citizenship straight away, rather than to start a new sponsorship process.

Fellow friends and seniors,

I will have my Permanent Resident Visa and CoPR next week. The next step for me will be landing. Since I live in Toronto, I think flagpolling at Peace Bridge is the easiest choice for me. However, I have a potential problem. I do not have a US visa.

I read somewhere that Canadian authorities have eliminated the option of taking U-turn to return to Canada. This means that during the landing process I will have to go till US POE. Since I dont have a US visa, and hence not at all eligible to enter US, will this pose me some problem? I know all I need is an administrative refusal from US, but can that happen without me having a US visa?

Much appreciate the help. Thanks.

Just tell them that you are going
to "flagpole" the US knows about
this they will issue you an
administrative refusal (this is
for records purpose only will not
jeopardise future travels to the
US) then go back to Canada IMM
office show the document and it
flows from there...

Thanks donwin4real. Good to know that I dont need US visa to get an administrative refusal. I thought I will have to apply for US visa first before actually trying to land.

One more thing. I dont have a car. Can I just walk and 'flagpole' and land?

Please answer the following please :

I got PR visa which will get expired in Jan 2014. Before visa expiry, I want to visit Canada once to continue my PR. My wife is pregnant and the expected baby delivery date is mid-May, 2014. I really hope you were trying to say your visa will expire in Jan 2015

I will be travelling to Canada in April and apply for PR card and will be back in one week. If you have visa till Jan 2015, wait till your wife is able to travel and go together, or go immediately and give birth in Canada.

As my wife can't travel now, she will be visiting Canada alone after the birth of baby, in September and apply for her PR card. Do you have an address in Canada for PR card delivery?

After that, when we will move to Canada with PR cards in next year.

After that, we will get sponsor visa for our kid.

1. Is this whole process feasible? Well if you don't want your child to live with your for at least the first year, it can be considered feasible
2. Is it better for me to land in Canada before baby birth? It makes no difference whatsoever if you both plan to land without your child
3. Is there any other option for us to continue our PR? Contact CIC and tell them you want to complete the landing with the child.. you will have to return your COPR and get new ones after your child becomes part of your application
4. How much time it takes to bring our kid to Canada through Sponsor Visa? It will take time. Don't rely on estimates that people give you. It can be just a few months or upwards of a year.

Really appreciate the responses from Experts !!

Thanks !!

Please answer the following please :

wife is pregnant and the expected baby delivery date is mid-May, 2014.

As others have said, I hope that is a typo there because if your PR visa expired in Jan 2014, it's too late to land in April.

I will be travelling to Canada in April and apply for PR card and will be back in one week.

If your visa is still valid, you must land before the baby is born. Once the baby is born, the visa of all family members who haven't landed yet become invalid based on change in family composition.

As my wife can't travel now, she will be visiting Canada alone after the birth of baby, in September and apply for her PR card.

No she wont because her visa will be invalid, see above.

After that, when we will move to Canada with PR cards in next year.

After that, we will get sponsor visa for our kid.

If the baby is visa exempt, he or she can come with you to Canada while you apply for sponsorship but will be on visitor status so no health card for your baby. If the baby is not visa exempt, it is possible that a visit visa will be refused based on that your intentions are not for the baby to visit. You can apply for another visa for the baby called a TRP but if you get it, it becomes a sponsorship on H&C grounds and will take much longer. Keep in mind that you may be sponsoring your wife as well if she did not manage to land before the birth of the baby.

1. Is this whole process feasible?

With a few flaws, see above.

2. Is it better for me to land in Canada before baby birth?

If you want to land on the visa that was issued to you, you must land before the baby's birth.

3. Is there any other option for us to continue our PR?

Yes, you could ask the visa office to wait until the baby's birth and then re-issue the visa for all 3 of you. The visa office may say tough luck, we already issued your visas, use them or lose them.

Another option, you land before the baby's birth but your wife doesn't. Her visa will be invalid then. You could request from the visa office that they add your baby to your application and re-issue the visa for your wife. If they say, too bad, your file is closed, we re-issue nothing, you would have the option to sponsor your wife and baby.

Third option, you speed up your move and both travel to Canada now, preferably to a province with first day health care like Alberta and stay there. Have her give birth there and stay in that province for at least 6 months (for health care reasons). Then you are both PR, your child is Canadian and you can do what you want.

4. How much time it takes to bring our kid to Canada through Sponsor Visa?

Depending on the visa office, it can take some months or even longer.
