Thanks

As you are visa exempt, they are not going to stamp your passport. They will send you a paper COPR and you use that to "land" at a port of entry or with an appointment inland.
 
Thanks for the help

Does it take time to land ?
I am asking that because I will probably take vacation and I will be back from Toronto (live in mtl)
want to be sure I will have enough time

As well you didn't reply to my first question :p

Bonjour,

Generally yes, your PPR indicates that you have cleared the checks (background, medical, and assessment in the category you applied). However until you land, you are not a permanent resident. The immigration officer at the border can still potentially delay your PR, as they perform a brief interview during the landing process. For the vast majority of people it's a formality, but technically it is still possible to be denied. There have been rare (but existing) cases of this on these boards that pop up from time to time.

With regards to time, the entire landing process takes less than an hour for most people. The majority seems between 15 to 30 minutes, but it depends on how busy the border is. You can drive down to the closest US border and get it completed by returning to Canada. I would suggest doing it ASAP, whether at peace bridge while you're in Toronto or otherwise.

so u have to complete there final step . Go to border see visa officer . He will check ur papers and do ur paperwork which one u will get from visa office with ur passport and then u will get ur pr card .
 
Hello All ,

I have received COPR .What is the maximum number of days after receiving it that I can land in Canada ?
I have read somewhere that for Australia , one needs to land within 3 months after getting PR stamped. Is there any such condition for Canadian PR?
 
The date should be mentioned in documents you received along with PR.. usually it is within Year of your medical tests date.. however read those documents closely to find out exact date
