Hi,
I have a PR visa and I want to do a soft landing before settling permanently in early 2009, I have a relative in Montreal however I understand I need to enter Canada at a POE outside Quebec to avoid problems, I do have a friend in Vancouver where I plan to get my PR card sent to and he will send it by parcel to my home country (Peru).
I have the following questions while planning my soft landing:
1) Can I enter via Toronto and ask for my PR card to be delivered to Vancouver or would that be a problem (getting the PR card delivered to a different province)? I am choosing Toronto since it is closer to my relative in Montreal.
2) Can I change the delivery address for my PR card after my landing (in this case to change it from a random address in Toronto to Vancouver)?
3) Besides my PR card, I would like to do as much done as possible, eg getting my SIN card and opening a bank account (to start building a credit score). Since I have a relative in Montreal it would be ideal to stay at her house when doing those things, would that be a problem since I don’t have a Certificat de sélection du Québec or should I better do it outside Quebec?
Thanks in advance for any help.
