If your plan is to flagpole then yes the US border might be very busy since Thanksgiving is next Thursday.

That's what I thought too. I plan to do some shopping in the US, see if I can find any good deals. Besides, I have been waiting for so long. I can't wait any longer. LOL

I understand you my friend

can we do landing at night and any day at niagra? I heard that they hv some quota for landing.

I guess so. I am not sure though. Seniors can advise on this. I went on Thursday night around 10.30 PM.

yes at some points flagpole was restricted in Ontario during weekends, meaning that you could do it only Tue-Thu. see this thread for example: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/rainbow-bridge-pr-landing-failed.501556/

This said it doesn't mean the restriction is still in effect, nor that all land crossings were affected. The best advice is to give them a call and ask directly.

can we walk or do we need to drive for windsor- detroit or thousand island to cross border? I cant drive. My friend does not hv USA visa.

Depends on the traffic of the border. If they have more travelers than usual they don't like to do the landing.
That's why stopped taking landing applicants during FRIDAY to MONDAY.
If you are planning to land over the weekend your best bet would be Thousand Island or Windsor-Detroit border.
If you can wait until Tuesday go early morning (by 7.30am).

Good luck.

How to submit passport for your dependent, if she/he is in USA? Do they put her/his mailing instructions or name on PPR email? My husband is in USA. I am confused, when I will get PPR, if he can send me over here in Canada then I will send together. As North America residents submit Passport to Ottawa only. We hold Indian Passports. Thank you.

I have sent the passport since five days now and it has not been delivered yet? Because tracking says that it is still in Abu Dhabi. Is there a problem?

I am not able to link my application to my CIC account. When I enter application details, I am getting message 'No applications found' always. When I email CIC, I got reply on 10 Nov 2017 that my application was approved and due to high volume of mail intake delay in passport return is expected.

I have tickets to go to India for Dec 29 and I am wondering if I will receive my passport before that.

Can someone please help me know why I am not able to link my application to my CIC account?

Any FSW outland applicants that sent passports around 27th October still waiting to hear from CPC?

I sent my passport on 29 October, passport received in CPC Ottawa on 31 October. Still waiting for MyCIC account approval confirmation.

It seems like Ottawa is the new London Visa Office...ie SLOW as molasses.

Yeah, its very frustrating and a little scary to not have your passport with you for around a month. There are absolutely no updates since my passport was delivered last month. ugh.
