My Landing Experience at Peace Bridge, Fort Erie

[boven2012]

Congrats Swahid!! Nicely put the whole story and very helpful.

If you've correctly filled in the details on the RPRF payment receipt and the Biodata form and scanned and emailed them off to CPP-O, then I don't think you will have to worry at all. Just remember that CPP-O does NOT acknowledge the receipt of these documents in a personalized way. And as some of the other members of the forum have pointed out, it can take CPP-O quite some time after sending out the RPRF and Biodata request to send out the Medical Request. Their process varies from person to person (and from one case officer to another), so I guess you will just have to wait it out for MR.

You can also apply for GCMS notes to see if they've applied the RPRF payment to your account or not. If you don't know what GCMS notes are or how to apply for them, do a quick seach on the forum and you'll find the answer. There is literally a ton of information on the boards already regarding GCMS notes.

Good luck!

Swahid,

Thanks i have landed today (06-Jul-2013) by GOD's grace. And your detailed instruction for Fort Erie Helped a lot.

This is the best option i would suggest for anyone who is already in canada and want to land.

Congrats!! Great to see more of August '12 applicants crossing the finishing line!

SWAHID and others,

Do you think there can be an issue if i make the landing - with a person in my car who is already a PR? Basically, i was thinking of driving with my dad to the border, but could there be any complications?

 

[swahid]

If your dad has valid travel docs (i.e. valid PR Card and Passport), then I don't see how there can be any complication if you take the u-turn @ Peace Bridge.

At other locations (like the Rainbow Bridge @ Niagara) where you will have to get an US administrative refusal of entry (provided that you do not have US visas), I'm not quite certain how things are going to work out on the US side of things.

In any case, wherever you are doing your landing, my personal recommendation (and I like to play things safe) would be to drop your dad off on the Canadian side somewhere close to the crossing, complete your landing formalities, pick your dad up and then go celebrate together !!

Infoseeker12,

I wrote my landing experience in thread

Refer it and you can take anyone with you who has valid Passport & Valid status in Canada..

Hi Swahid,
Did you try Prescott bridge (south of 401 at 401-416 intersection)?
That also seems to have a U turn lane where you can go to Canadian immigration control.
I am in Ottawa too and want to use that option if available, better save time and effort that to go through 2 sets of border agents

Guys...what about rainbow bridge? Even if there is no U turn, we can still directly go to the Canadian border office mm please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, I don't really know anything about Prescott Bridge and u-turn availability there. If you do try that option though, then please post your experience on the forum for the benefit of others.

Cheers!
