Hi
Hope you had a nice trip in Mexico.. I just want to know the landing procedure.. I just read ur landing story.. Just wondering if there is any difference in landing at border and landing at local office. Do I save some time in getting PR card by landing in border.? If landing in local office how do I make appointment? During the visit do I need anyting else than passport and COPR? What did they ask from COPR? I read they asked you some questions from COPR..
Hello Sinpguy,
Since there was another man sending me msg asking about my landing exp so I decided to post it here so everyone can read.
No, I don't believe local cic offices will process pr card slower than their counterpart at border. in fact, the convenience of big cities will allow local offices to post our COPR to Sydney NS for pr card printing faster than from rural areas at border offices. It is your preference to travel to a border anytime or take advantage of your close proximity to a local cic office. In my view, local cic offices work more professionally and IO there more politely!
You should bring bank statement or payslip to show proof of funds, in case asked. but coming to canada as PNP you are very least likely be asked for this. Bring all immigration documents you ever had including work permit or study permit with you as these must be surrendered to IO or destroyed by yourself. Bring extra pr card photos with you.
Questions asked during landing are solely for verification, nothing tricky to test your IQ so don't worry.
I see that your visa was stamped last Friday, as DM shown on Ecas yesterday. I would assume your visa will be posted tomorrow from Fort Erie and will be in your hand Thursday as the earliest.
Your wife must land at the same time or after you so you must do your landing first before she can come with her visa.
Best of luck my friend. Your journey is finally over! Your visa is returned to you very quick, too.
