Landing questions and coming back to usa

[anusha.shankar]

Hi everyone,

We are plannin to go to canada in Jan for getting our immigration visa stamped and to get the PR. we are plannin to stay in Canada for 3-4 days and come back to US. I have few questions regardin the same

1. In the application form, we had given " Place intended to live in canada " as Toronto and Ontario. In the CPR also they have mentioned Toronto, Ontario. Does that mean we have to go for stamping only in these places or we can go elsewhere like vancouver.

2.What are the usual questions asked by the immigration officer on the Canada side and how much time does the process take place?

3. We are not plannin to move to canada for atleast one year, so what are we supposed to say for the goods or the luggage ? what should we tell the officer if he asks how long do u intend to stay? can we tell we will go back to US in 3 days?

4. What are the question that an US immigration officer will ask. Can we tell them we had gone to get our canadian PR?

5. Can we give friends address to send the PR.

I would really appreciate if anyone can answer these questions for me..

Thanks in advance

1. It doesn't matter what city you go to land

2. It's pretty fast if you have all your stuff.

3. Yes, just tell the truth. You have come to get your PR and will go back to take care of stuff before you can move.

4. Yes, just tell them the truth.

5. Yes, many people do give a friends address. In 4-6 weeks, you should get your PR cards mailed to your friends who can fed ex them to you so you have them next time you enter Canada.

I am still confused. We r going to land in canada early Jan to finish the landing formalities and get back to US in 3 days. We are planning to give our friends address for the PR card to be sent to. If the immigration officer ask us whose address is it, wht shld we say? If he asks, We will tell him we are going to go back to US in 3 days and come after winding up things there..

Just tell the truth. Say that you came to take care of landing formalities. You are giving your friends address for them to mail your PR cards to because you don't have an address yet in Canada and you are going back in 3 days to take care of things in the US.
