Hey guys, we've got everything processed and got my partners passport back.

He's already in Canada on a visitors visa.....we're going to officially 'land' when we get back from the UK in August.

Has anybody had any problems landing? We want to buy a one-way ticket back but wasn't sure if we'd run into any issues with that. Are there any documents that he needs to have with him?

Any comments, previous experiences, stories, advice very welcome!

Thanks!! ;)

Yay! So as long as he's got the stamp thing in his passport a one way ticket is ok! Awesome! Didn't want to buy it until I knew it'd be ok.

Sweet!

Your Immigrant Visa is One way and one time use for landing.

One way ticket is more than sufficient.

Just bring your COPR, a B4 can be filled by the officer when you land.
B4 can be filled by the applicant or the border official will do it when you land.

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5114-eng.html

Declaring your goods
When you arrive in Canada, even if you have no goods with you at the time of entry, you must give your list of goods to the border services officer at the first point of arrival in Canada. Based on the list of goods you submit, the officer will complete a Form B4 (PDF, 83 KB), Personal Effects Accounting Document, for you, assign a file number to it and give you a copy of the completed form as a receipt. You will need to present your copy of the form to claim free importation of your unaccompanied goods when they arrive.

You can make the process easier by filling out Form B4 as completely as possible in advance, Form B4 is available by selecting “Publications and forms” on the CBSA Web site or by calling the Border Information Service at one of the telephone numbers listed in the section called “Additional information.”
