Hi all,
I got my PPR and DM in January. I live in Regina, SK on an "implied status" work permit. My permit expired at the end of November, 2015 and I applied for an extension before expiry. My passport got to CPC-Ottawa on Jan 26th. and I just received my passport with COPR and visa today (Feb 9th). A few questions:
- Ideally, I would like to land at the Emerson, MB land border. My gf lives in Winnipeg, and I am going to visit her this weekend so we figured we'd take care of this landing process while I was there. I went through the Saskatchewan PNP. I'm guessing it does not matter that I am not landing at the land border closest to Regina, does it?
- I do not have a US visa, so I'm guessing I will issued a "refusal document" or "administrative refusal" by U.S. border agents. Is there any indication of this on your passport? Meaning do they stamp your passport with a refusal? Or is it just a letter that they hand to you? Also, in the future, if you're ever filling out a form where they ask you if you've ever been refused entry into a country, do you now have to say yes?
- As far as I understand, I have to take my passport and my COPR to the border with me. The work permit I currently have has expired. Any thing else I need to take?
Thanks for the help and advice!
