Dear all, I have a question: I had also applied for US visitors visa for a one week visit; do you know if I land before going to US my US visa will be expired or not?

Another Q: how long does it take for CIC to issue visa after passport receipt?

Your US visa (for that matter any other country's visa) has nothing to do with your immigration status in Canada. Being a PR of Canada doesn't mean anything to USCIS. So you will be good. Where are you visiting by the way?

Tnx, I meant when people land at the US border (from within Canada), US stamps a rejection in their visa which is part of the landing process; do you guys know this rejection would affect the US visa already on my passport?
Going to Florida...

I don't they US authorities will stamp anything on your passport if you're doing flag-poling. They just ask you to fill a form or 2. I may be wrong though. However, you may ask others who have done it. My understanding is the flag-poling procedure doesn't affect your future immigration in any way.

I landed with US flagpole. The officer is going to issue a rejection paper that doesn't affect your visa in the future, after my landing I applied for the US Visa without problem.
Good Luck!!

My friend has the same situation. You should just tell the US officer that yo do not want to use your visa and enter US. Then he/she may give you the refused paper. However, I heard that recently there is no need to be refused anymore. We have to ask from someone who did it recently.

If you have a US visitor visa, why are you concerned???

Your visitor visa, should be at least good for 1 year. You can go in-out several times...

When ever they ask at the border, you can say that you are going back to canada to get your PR status.

They will charge you $7 and admit you to US and then you can drive back from the first traffic lights.

Correct me if I am wrong. That's what I am planning to do as well.

 

[Fafool]

It depends that you have multi-entry or single-entry visa. With the single one you can pass the border once, and after that the visa is expired and not usable anymore. I guess he has this situation. So, he wants to keep the validity of his visa when he is landing.

Wow I didnt know that there is a single entry visa for US.

I didnt know that either.
Well, this is what I did, crossed the border and told officer that i am doing flagpoling. They gave me refused/reject entry paper and told me to joing the Canada crossing line that's it. I dont see anything on my passport...I wud have to check again. But i know many ppl do this and there is no prb, officer exactly know the procedures. So dont worry if you doing this

''Remember eye color is never black!''

what does this mean? I wrote "black" in my form. Is it wrong?

@ Bahia... I downloaded the form. Pari123 posted a link here to download the form. I was sent an scanned image file by CPP-O. It wasn't of very good quality. To answer your question, yes you can take a print out, type in your Application number, Name, Surname, Height and Eye color. Remember eye color is never black!

''Remember eye color is never black!''

what does this mean? I wrote "black" in my form. Is it wrong?

"It is commonly held that black does not truly exist in nature, and that anything appearing black is merely a very dark colour (brown, for instance).

The truth is that black is simply the absence of light, and if something is perceived as dark enough to appear black, then so long as the lighting conditions are unchanged, to all intents and purposes, the object (or its pigment) is indeed black. "

Yes, it's incorrect. It can't be black. It could be dark brown. I don't think though it will creat any issues.
