Move from USA to Canada

[joe_ziz]

I received PPR yesterday and I am planning to move from the current country of residence (USA) to Canada. I am not a US citizen or green card holder.

I am planning to make my move in a month or so. I am sure many in this forum has made this kind of move and can help me answer following questions:

1. Is it better to fly or drive into Canada? If I am leaving the US then I might loose visa status in the country and cannot come back to the US. I am concerned, if something happens at the land border, what should I be doing?

2. Do we have a checklist of all 'things to do' before we enter Canada?

Please feel free to join this thread so that we can all share information.

You could land however it is convenient to you. To avoid the 'sent back' scenario, do a soft landing by road, become pr and then do a permanent landing. If you don't have visa stamping, you could use automatic visa revalidation and use your i797 to go out, come back with same i94.
