Soft Landing Questions

[kedar9]

Hi everyone.
I am planning to do a Soft Landing (at Toronto YYZ) in a few days. I got most of my answers through these forums.
But I had a few more questions:
1. Do I need to carry passport photos for the entry process?
2. What is the PRTD? I saw people posting about it in their Soft Landing experiences. I assume its an alternative to the actual PR card in case someone needs to enter Canada again before receiving their PR Card.
3. I am carrying: Passport, COPR and Proof of Funds Statements. Is there anything else I need?

Thank You!

1. not required
2. PRTD needs to be applied from the country where you will return to after your soft landing. only required if you are planning to return to canada soon before the PR card arrives or you have no way to get the PR card
3. in addition goods to be declared if you are carrying anything valuable

in addition while you are in canada good idea to snap some PR card photos and leave them behind just incase your photos get rejected (which is the case more often than not these days)

In addition to the list of goods accompanying you, you should bring a list of goods to follow: any possessions that you might want to bring or have shipped to you later after your final move to Canada. I used spreadsheets for the lists of goods, as did many other people on the forums. You will be able to bring any of your possessions that are on the list into Canada duty-free as settler's effects, but if you don't have them on the list when you land you might be required to pay duties on them later on. CBSA stamps each page of the list at your landing, and you need to show the stamped list when you bring additional goods on later trips or clear a shipment of goods at customs.

Hi all,

My wife and kid travelling to Toronto from India for a soft landing. They will stay in Toronto for a week and return back to india. Tickets has been booked with Lufthansa. They have transit in Frankfurt airport during onward and return trip. Once we land in Toronto the immigration officer strikes the visa in our passport with a pen since it is a one time entry visa. I need some help on the following questions

1. During the return trip whether a Airport transit visa is required in Frankfurt?
2. Is the expired/used visa will be fine for the travel?
3. Has any one travelled via Frankfurt recently after short landing?
4. Do the airport authorities in Frankfurt airport check for a visa while we return to india which is our origin country and final destination?

Please help me out. Thanks in advance. Have a good day.

1. Schengen transit visa is not required if its a single stop flight
2. from Toronto - Bombay yes. wont be valid for next trip to Toronto. would need PR card/travel doc.
3. brussels. same rules apply
4. if changing terminals or passing border control they do check. if within the same terminal, immigration is not required, only security check.

Hi all,

I did my soft landing in June 2019 and returned to India within 3 days. Received my pr card also in June at an uncle's address who lives in Toronto. He sent it to me in December. Now i am in possession of the card.

Now, i plan to finally move to Canada in July/August 2020. Which is around 13-14 months post the issuance of the PR Card.

My question: will I need a PRTD, or will the PR card suffice?

No need for PRTD. PRTD is only needed if you don’t have a PR card.

Thanks canuck78. The reason I ask is i heard they don't allow third parties to carry someone else's pr cards outside canada. Is it true?
