Thanks for sharing this landing process.
I will be in same boat but i need some more info about it.
I am getting married in Aug-16 and my spouse already have visit visa.
I am little confuse and need advise on application process.
Should i apply Inland v/s Outland ?
If i apply outland application i see lots of variable in processing of application. One of my friend`s spouse application got processed with in

If i apply outland and my wife will join me once i get marry. do she need to go back to india while she is with me in canada ? lets say if file get process in 6 months during her stay with in canada ? Can she do her landing formalities while she is in canada ? can we extend her say beyond 6 months while she is on visit visa ?

Hi everyone,
We did our landing last weekend on Saturday on Rainbow Bridge and wanted to share the experience if it helps.
We got to Niagara around 10 am and parked on Hiram street close to the bridge. We then walked over (costs 50 cents per person) to the bridge and across the US border where they gave us the white slip. No issues there, then we returned back to Canadian side where they gave us the yellow slip and sent us to the immigration office.
We waited there for 2.5 hours and for some reason the officers were just taking their sweet time to go through all the folks. It started getting crowded also with the people from US coming through, one of the officers was extremely rude and started shouting at a Asian man because he could not understand him properly. It seems nobody can talk back to the Border Officers...Anyway we got lucky and got a really nice and polite guy who asked a couple of questions and confirmed the PR. No fuss overall just waiting time.
My wife did not have US visa, no bank statements, no address proof since she has been here on TRV and we were asked none of that. Hope this helps
Thanks again to everyone here for your guidance and help, it made the process much more bearable.
