RO Appeal process

[Sricand]

As far as I remember, cab companies don't check your PR card or any other document. Since they typically charge you a two-way fare, it doesn't matter to them whether you'll be allowed entry into the border or not. If you're refused, they will just drop you back to buffalo but charge full trip amount.

But since you're a PR, you should be allowed into Canada by CBSA even with expired PR card, so this should not be a problem for you.

Ah got it.. makes sense.. In this case, maybe I will call up some cab companies to also check if they charge any additional waiting charges if there are any potential delays expected at the land border..

I think the additional waiting would be the issue. It's possible the cab company would agree to take you to the border and leave you in secondary - or if you're let through with minimal delay, they could drop you at bus station or wherever you like across border to get onward taxi/uber/whatever.

I think from secondary examination a Canadian cab could pick you up - not sure, may depend which crossing.

If it's at the crossing in niagara falls which has a footbridge - well, not exactly fun with luggage, but if you can physically manage it, it's not that far.

(I'm not saying which is better, no idea - just might help you avoid waiting fees).

Agree most cabs will not wait indefinitely and will definitely leave the meter running. Pretty sure distance traveled also factors in to how cab fares are calculated so you may have to pay a set rate to have them wait if they are actually willing to wait in the first place. Also make sure to arrange the cab since most will not be working with their passport on them.
