Hello,

I will be landing at Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) on 21 october 2018 (Sunday) with Spouse.

I'm contemplating on changing my PR landing plans to a Weekday, as i'm not sure about the following questions:

a) I have couple of friends who landed on weekdays, but they are not sure if the process is different on weekends? If i land on a Sunday at YYZ, can i also apply for PR card at airport or do i need to do that on a weekday?

b) Apart from requested PR Card pictures (in CIC specifics), do i need any other documents for applying PR card?

C) I understand that SIN can be applied at airport on weekday's as on weekends, the SIN booth at YYZ will be closed. My question is ,do i need a passport to apply for SIN?

I would really appreciate your help on this, as i may need to change travel plans accordingly.

Others will comment as well I am sure but no point changing plans.

A)makes no difference really weekday or weekend passing through immigration, getting your COPR processed/validated and setting off the PR card application which would be started at same time by cBSA assuming you have a Canadian address . It is exactly same process whether weekday or weekend

B)PR card application will be started by CBSA at same time they process your COPR Again assuming you can provide a Canadian address for delivery

C)documents required to get a SIN are validated COPR and proof Id ( passport). simple enough to find a Service Canada on a weekday if desk at airport closed, will be issued on the spot usually.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate your response. It clarifies much of my ambiguity regarding PR card application post landing.

I do have a Canadian address, apart from that do i need to submit pictures to the officer or will they be requested at later stage?

They will use the physical photograph from the COPR Document that you sign and leave with CBSA You keep the copy without the photograph.
