I just received my PPR request for my spouse and I have a couple of questions:
- The letter is making a request for an airline booking ticket for a confirmed flight. My spouse is already here with me in Toronto on a visitors VISA so I don't think that I need to provide a ticket. When I submit the PPR package, do I just write a note inside stating the fact that my spouse is already in Canada? Would that be sufficient?
Meaning to say their ready for issuing her VISA so soon that is why their asking for a Booking Ticket. A friend of mine had the same case as your's they lived in Scarborough together but they filled their Application Outland Process she send's also her Passport in CEM. Just send them an email to let them know about your case that you were together already and no need to buy ticket for her. But take note sending email to CEM don't forget to put your Application file number on it, it start with F000.
- Once I receive my spouses passport back with the new VISA issued, where do we go so that my spouse can formally "land" in Toronto and get her papers processed?
A friend of mine and her husband did was they drove out the Border Canada and U.S then came back just to make her COPR Confirmation of Permanent Residence form ( she will receive this as well together with her Passport w/ visa stamped) fill and sign up by the CBSA Officer so that her PR card will be granted after 1-2 months maximum. I don't know if she still need a transit visa in U.S border even though she will just pass on and go back to Canada Border.
