Dear fellow members.. Alhamdulillah, Landed safely in Calgary today, via Montreal. Weather is good over all, bit hot in day and pleasant at night with nice n cold winds.
Just wanted to share something with guys like alvee and others, who will be landing in different cities apart from your destination city.
There's nothing wrong in that, you can use any city for POE. Your immigration paper work will be done wherever you have landed. However, insist the officer to try to process your case 1st as you have a flight of another city to catch.
I had 5 hours waiting time at Montreal airport for my Calgary flight, but dealing with luggage and then waiting for my turn to meet immigration officer took me more than i expected and i missed my Calgary flight. Although, Qatar airways didnt bother us and made arrangement in very next flight to Calgary for us (which was early in the next morning) n everything went smooth.
but still i had to stayed at the Airport's hotel for the night. I enjoyed the stay in Montreal and everything was good but i actually stressed out in the beginning.
So i suggest you guys, if you have a connecting flight to any other destination in Canada, complete your immigration process/paperwork right away after you land!
safe.
