This morning I went to Queenston-Lewiston bridge to do my landing, i arrived at the boarder at around 9:30 am.
As suggested by some of the forum members, instead of taking U-Turn at canada side, i went directly to the US side and told them that i will be landing as PR in Canada, so they gave me a white paper(I guess this is the administrative refusal) and i took a u-turn at their side and went back to Canada.
I drove through the booth at canada side, officer gave me a yellow slip, told me to go into the building on the right hand side, i went in, told the officer that i was here to do the PR landing, he asked me where i came from, i told him i did a flagpole at US side and showed him the white paper that US officer gave me and the yellow slip. Without even asking me for passport or anything, he directly informed me that it is not allowed to do this anymore and i will need to contact local CIC office to do the landing. Whole conversation was less than 1 minute and i left the boarder frustrated since just yesterday someone from this forum did the same thing i did and successfully landed...
I guess this solely depends on the customs officer at the time of landing or their NEW RULE is just so ambiguous that different officers have different understanding of it. FYI I do not have US VISA.
anyway, just a reminder to those who is planning to land at Queenston bridge, please TRY WITH CAUTION.
