Passports to CPC Ottawa- NOVEMBER 2017

[coolsheep]

Why? What happened? Did u go there?

Been to Coutts with a friend before, and officers were okay (Not being so nice but definitely not rude at all). According to all my friends landed at Carway, agents were very mean and impatient. They will constantly blaming you like wasting their time; it's not their job; should make appointment in downtown CIC office blah blah. I guess Coutts is a bigger office with designated immigration service area

My experience Flagpoling:

- Arrived at Point Roberts around 7:30 , only 2 cars in front of me
- US border officer not in a "friendly" tone. Asked whats my purpose, just said flagpoling to validate COPR. Asked me to go in to fill up piece of paper stating Im flagpoling. Officer said to present it to CA border officer. Total time in US border: 5 mins
- Returned to CA border, Im the only car around Officer greeted me, very friendly and told him I flagpoled. He asked me to park and go inside the office. Officer that assisted me was nice, presented him my passport, COPR and current work permit; we went through the COPR, asked abt criminal conviction and if I have dependents, then asked me to signed the COPR. After that, asked me to sit and wait so he can do other stamping/ paperworks. Gave me my passport and and a copy of the COPR and said to wait for my PR card in the mail and handed me a paper regarding other instructions regarding SIN change etc. He took my current work permit becuse Im now a PR. Total time in CA border: 15 mins

CA border officer even told me to go shop in Tswassen Mills before going back to Duncan xD

Good luck to everybody and have a wonderful holidays!
