Landing in Toronto - immigration issues?

[Chiuzi]

Hello everyone!

I'm landing in Toronto in June 10th and I'd like to know how much time I must reserve to address all immigration official issues (documents, interview, etc).

Can you guys please share your experience with me?

I have another question: I'm staying in an AirBnb house for a month - I already have a house which I'll rent for a year, but I'll be on this new address only after July 9th - which address should I give to the officers/CIC?

Thanks!!!

Hi

On how much time you should reserve, there's no definite amount of time. You'll spend about 15mins with an IO and another 10-15 waiting on your SIN (should u choose to get it then). The tricky part is how far out your are in the queue. If your as lucky as I was, and find not a single person landing, an hour or less will be enough. I recall my lay over was an hour in Toronto - if it wasn't for the slow CO (who seemed new at the job),I wouldn't have missed my flight, but I was lucky as there was another one leaving in a few minutes.

On the address, I'd advise you use the house address since it takes about 2 months to process your card, but be sure you'll be at the house come July 9th. The other option is to wait until you move in then provide an address - CIC gives you 180 days to do this after you land.

All the best

Hopefully there won't be too many people in the queue!!!

Hi,
One of my family member landed in Canada last month.
She spent about 2 hours time altogether in the queue.

It really depends when you are landing. Keep 2-3 hours for all the processes...
