Guys:

I am planning to land in to canada and come back to usa next day.

Can any one help me with

1) Is it possible to enter on Saturday and come back next day ?

2) How do I apply for PR card ? Do I need to stay in canada until I get my PR card ?

3) Can I drive in my own car without "exporting" to canada and return to USA next day ? Will they let me drive in to canada for day or two ?

4) While coming back , do I face any issue at USA port of entry. (I have valid H1 visa stemp) ?.

5) How long I can stay in USA before I must go back to maintain canadian PR status ?.

You should have 2 passport type Photographs with white background, you will apply at the time of Landing and have to provide a address in Canada can be of Friend/relative they will mail the PR Card in 5-8 weeks
3) Can I drive in my own car without "exporting" to canada and return to USA next day ? Will they let me drive in to canada for day or two ?
I do not know, I think once you become Canada PR at Border you are not supossed to Drive US plated car, read the thread below " Landing Exp" some other friend may give you info on this or call CIC and ask
4) While coming back , do I face any issue at USA port of entry. (I have valid H1 visa stemp) ?.

No problem if you have H1B visa in your Passport and valid I-94

5) How long I can stay in USA before I must go back to maintain canadian PR status ?.
from your Landing date you can stay out of Canada for 3 years out of 5 years
 
Hello Haresh and Avtaar,
I beleive that you have gone through with landing and everything since you filed this original post in June.
Actually, I am in the same situation, I am on an H1-B in the USA, and am just getting ready to file my papers for canada immigration.

I just wanted to know if I can file my TOEFL scores as a proof of proficiency in English ?? What else can I file in order to prove that I am proficient in English ??

Also I took some classes for french in college, can I show that and claim basic skills in french ??

Do you guys know how long is it taking for the whole process to go through ??

I appreciate any help.

Regards,

eefrog
 
PR Card

As per PR card rules, you have to be physically preset in Canada to be eligible for PR card.This could mean that if you are in US at the time of PR card approval, you may not get it.
So I am not sure if you enter Canada , apply for PR card and come back in two days, it will grant you PR card or not.
Only real experiences can clarify this.
 
If we apply for PR card and come back to USA, how they will know? No where they will stamp in our passport while entering in USA and returning back to canada for collection of PR Card.
 
Harish,

How long it take to get landing papers after medicals? I completed my medicals in July 8th, on Aug 18th they send me a letter to pay landing fee. I send it immediately, but till date i have not received my landing papers.

Can you tell me when you applied, how long it took?
 
No H1B stamping on passport

Hi Avtaar

I am on the same boat as Haresh, but I do not have the H1-B stamping on my passport. Can I still return the next day? Also, if Haresh has already been to Canada, it would be good if he could share his experiences with all of us.

Thanks a lot for all the help provided on this forum
Great job
