1) I read in this forum that one can leave Canada after entering for the first time as a PR. The PR card can then be mailed to a friend in Canada who would then forward it on. Has anyone had problems re-entering after that? I wanted to see if immigration in Canada can see that one would have...

Has anyone applied for an SIN number by mail? I would be interested in any advice I could get on that front. Is it more complicated than applying in person? Thanks in advance for your help. (I did mean to say the offices are only open on weekdays - sorry about the confusion).

Thanks for the links. It looks like the offices are only open on the weekend. Would there be a problem with applying for an SIN by mail? Would appreciate it if anyone who has applied by mail could post their experiences. Thanks

I was going to fly into Toronto to land this weekend. What documents do I need to apply for an SIN number? Is the SIN office open on Saturdays? I would appreciate it if you could tell where the office is in Toronto. Thank you.

Maple_cartier I greatly appreciate the Canadian welcome and am not taking it for granted. However, there are a lot of other factors involved. You certainly spent a lot of time on that indepth and gifted psychological analyis. However, if you don't have anything to add to my actual...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't follow your comment about "land borders are where officers see US residents abusing the system". What were you referrring to? Is it more problemmatic to drive? Thanks for your help.

However, if I fly in on the last day - is Canadian immigration likely to ask me a lot of questions? I was concerned that they would want me to prove that I was moving permanently to Canada. Did US immigration ask you about your immigration status on your way back to the US from Canada...

I was going to land in Toronto on the expiration date of the permanent resident visa stamped in my passport. Could this create any problems? Are they likely to ask a lot of questions if I fly in (from the US) at the absolute last day without much luggage? I had a read postings which talked...

Thanks for your advice Johar. I was also interested in knowing if someone has been in the same position as me (getting Canadian PR after US Green Card). I would very much appreciate it if they could post their travel experience. Thank you.

I only intend to visit Canada once to land to preserve the Canadian PR. According to the rules in Canada, i wouldn't have to spend anytime in Canada for 3 years after landing - and the Canadian Permanent Residence visa would still be valid. I intend to keep working, living, paying taxes as a...

Hello: I would greatly appreciate your take on the following matter: · My US green card was approved recently and I now have the temporary GC stamp in my passport. · I was also approved a while ago for Canadian PR - however, I never landed. · I was thinking of landing in Canada for a few...

I see your point. However, my question was if this (landing in Canada for PR after getting US Green Card) is against the rules for retaining a US Green card? Would the INS look upon this (landing in Canada for PR) as abondoning the US Green card? I am sure there must be people in a similar...

Thanks for the response. If a US Greencard holders lands in Canada for the PR (for a few days only), will the INS give them any problems when they fly back to the US? I would be interested if anyone else was in a similar position and what their experience was on flying back to the US...

I would really appreciate the opinion of all the experts on the Canadian forum as well. Thanks

Landing information I plan to travel to Canada in a few days and had a few questions: 1) Do I need to take a cashier's check with me or are bank statements sufficient? If a cashier's check is required, what's the minimum amount for a single person? 2) Do I need to take any photographs...

I am in similar situation as well (have US Green card and will be landing in Canada for a few days to preserve Canadian PR). I will come straight back to the US after spending a few days in Canada. I wanted to check if anyone else who had gone to Canada on a PR had trouble with the INS when...

Ginnu Just to clarify - I already have my US Green Card. I wanted to land in Canada for a few days to preserve my Canadian PR (I haven't landed in Canada before). I was planning on staying in Canada for a few days and coming right back to the US. I don't plan on visiting Canada...

Ginnu: Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply ginnu. =============================== In your response to 1) I only want to get the Canadian PR to help out a relative in India who is applying for Canadian PR (he will get some points because of me). I was thinking of going to Canada this weekend for a few...
