Thanks guys!! Apologies for the late reply. I just got home now.
My spouse and me did our landing at the border. Planned to land immediately after the arrival of our passports/COPR to avoid delays getting the PRC and ending the process as soon as possible.
Docs I took were the following:
1. 2 photos for each of us
2. Updated POF
3. Employment letters and 4 paystubs for both of us
4. COPR and passport
Items 1,2,3 she glanced through saying she doesnt need it and gave it back to us.
But she asked us the statutory questions-
Have you been convicted of any crime?
Have you been refused entry to Canada or any other country?
The first question was a NO for both of us
In regards to the second question -although I have never had prior refusals, my spouse had 2 prior refusals for her SOWP...third time it worked..
So the officer asked us to produce those refusal letters..my wife began frantically searching for them on her phone..
I had ordered gcms after my spouse's second refusal and had them in my email, so i asked her-"ma'm will gcms on the prior refusals work"? She said yes..
She took a lot of time going thru it and asking us questions along the way..i almost had a silent heart attack but i managed to compose myself while answering her questions
After she was done, she asked us to wait for ten mins where she did something on her computer as we waited..my wife waited inside and i went out for a smoke
Then finally, after a smile and a handshake, she had us sign and muttered-WELCOME TO CANADA, your cards will be delivered in approx 8 weeks to your home address..
End of story!!!!!!
