landing experience

Hi All,

This thread is really very useful for the people like us.

One quick question:

Where do we need to apply for SIN card ? Is in the airport itself they get the SIN card form ?(or) Do I need to go to some office in the downtown area ?

Would you please help in this.

Thanks

Experts;

GC has been approved and will be sending my passport to Buffalo. My medicals are expiring on March 2005. I am assuming that the expiry date of the immigrant visa will be March 19 2005. I am going to cross the border at Detroit/Windsor.

I have read that in most cases the PR carg is mailed to the address provided during the immigration process at the border.

My question is, when I cross the border and the immigrant officer asks me to pick up the PR card and the date by chance (my bad luck ) falls after March 2005. In this case what are the options available to pick up the card.

Can I enter Canada using the expired immigrant visa or is there any other option.

Thanks

You can re-enter Canada using your landing papers (COPR papers which you will get with your passport stamp), as long as you travel in a private carrier ( not airplane, public train, public bus etc). so either own car or rental car should be fine to re-enter with the COPR documents.
[I am not an attorney, I am quoting what I read on CIC websites. ]

If you want to use a public transport to enter Canada, you would need a travel document that you can apply for at Canadian consulates in US for a fee for 50$( CDN I think).

The date stamped on the visa is for your first landing only. After you land, you are a permanent resident (PR card is just a identity document).
 
Landingg Questions

I would appreciate if anyone can answer my following questions

1. What are the documents I need at the time of landing?
2. Can I take bank statements as Proof of sufficient funds or I have to get Cashier Check or Money Order of $ 10,000.00.

Thanks
 
Generally these are most important docs req at time of landing are
1. Passport with Immigrant VISA
2. COPR
3. Proof of funds (Cash/Check/Bank Statements/Letter from Financial Institution)
4. Address in CA for PR (have a phone number ready, they ask it nowadays)

Other docs on case to case basis.

Hi pearl11142002,

Did you send your passports for stamping? Let me know whether you get visa expiry date as March 19 2005 or something else?

I also sent Passports today for stamping and my medical is also expiring in march 2005.

Thanks.

it will be mentioned in you IA letter. It is better to pay it with additional docs when you get IA. If you do not have to send in additional docs still send in your landing fee also known as RPRF. It is somewhere arround 925 Canadian dollars but there are other posts on this forum list the correct amount. Remember, if you do not send in your RPRF fee with additional docs, you will get a request for it before PP request and may delay your process.

Johar Ali,
I have IA and additional Docs already sent in October 2004, are you suggesting I should send landing fee right away even before the interview call to avoid further delay or I should pay the landing fee at the time of interview?
Thanks
Bill

Normally it is a good idea to mail in landing fee with the additional docs. However, since you will have an interview so it is okay to hold on to it for a while. You can pay it during the interveiw, I guess. There might be others who went through the interview may disagree and will be best if they posts their views. However, if I were you I would pay it right before the interview.
 
Goods to Follow

Is there a format for goods to follow? Is there a form or just write up in Word Table or Excel.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

my wife and my child will come to join me later this year. Can they have their "things to bring" and "things to follow"? again?

Please don't take this in a negative way but instead of posting 20 questions take a moment to search through the postings, there is an excellent search feature which will give answers to all your questions and use the forum in the right way, look at buffalo tracker and landing threads, search by my user id and you can find answers to most of your questions
