Hi All,
After applying for PR card and returning to US, if PR card office sending letter to come and pick up.
As I can travel only by flight based on the distance, how I can reenter again to canada by flight just for getting the PR card ? Should I get visitor visa to canada for getting PR card(please advice me as I am not aware of this process)?
Your response is very helpful for planning to visit.
Thanks

You can get a limited entry travel document refer to these links
If you are a permanent resident and are returning to Canada by commercial carrier (airplane, boat, train or bus), you will require a PR card to board the carrier.
If you do not have a PR card, you will need to contact the nearest Canadian visa office to obtain a temporary travel document to re-enter Canada, at a cost of $50 each.

As long as you are landing before the expiration date, I think there shouldnt be any problem. But just like in any travel, if you encounter unforseen delays or anything like that, you wouldnt have much buffer time. If you are delaying it just because of snow, I am not sure if thats a strong enough reason. Seems like its just gonna be slushy snow, people who live in that region, correct me if I am wrong.

Hello Everybody,
Thanks a lot to those who posted their landing experience. we will be landing in a week. We are planning to enter Canada through peace bridge to Vancouver. My question to you all is if I can use my friends address in who lives in Toronto while entering. I was told by somebody that I can only use an address in Vancouver if I am entering through Vancouver. Somebody please respond. Thanks so much.

Hi,
Don't quote me wrong on this. but this is what happened to my friend. He landed thru vancouver but he gave Montral address and he did not receive his card for 5 months. Finally he has to take the Travel document and cross the canada border and this time he gave vancouver address and canada immigration office said, this time they will post the card. all the best
I am giving this info by the best of my knowledge.

Hi Anu12
You should give vancouver address as if there is a problem with Photo or something, They might ask you to go to Toronto CIC office for a photograph or anything else.
Vancouver will be convenient to you as compared to Toronto and will be much cheaper and time saving if you are asked to collect them personally or get re- photographed.
Write to me at pop1234dz@yahoo.com if you want more info on this and may be I get you a vancouver address to use.

Landing question
I am planning to land in canada on 24th Jan and I was wondering if I could drive in my car and not declare it in the list of things to follow. I plan to drive back to the US a couple of days later after having my h1b stamping done. Is it possible to drive my car and not declare in the goods to follow? Please advice.

To Srinivas26
You can take your car & import it while you land. I was told that the car can be driven with US plates for a month inside Canada. In that case, I am not sure how it would be treated when you return back to US.!!!
I guess thats why to make it simpler, people use rental cars as they dont have to go through this hassle.

srinivas26,
Did you mention that you were going to get your H1B stamped in Canada. Can you do that. Please let me know if that is possible.

KTYM,
I know a lot of people who got their H1B visas stamped in Canada. However, this will be first time for me personally.

It normally takes 2 to 3 weeks to get H1B visa stamped from Chennai, India. So it will be interesting to know how long it would take in Canada. We would really appreciated if you could keep us posted and let us know after you get you H1B visa stamped from Canada. Thanks

srignram said:Hi,
I would like to share my experience to the readers. I entered canada through peace bridge , washington on the way to vancouver.Ofcourse i took rental car for the purpose.Even though it was monday around 1.30 PM, there was a long queue.The person at the entry asked me the purpose and directed me to the immigration office at the corner of a nearby building.H asked me whether that was my own car. There was about 5 min wait at the immigration counter. A middle aged white lady was there to attend my case. She asked my passport and the address where i am staying at vancouver.I gave my friends address.She specifically informed me that i cant leave vancouver before recieving my PR card.She verified my family members passport and landing papers. In my wifes landing paper the photo was not affixed properly.After seeing that she told me that things should be in proper place blah blah in a unfirendly manner.I replied politely that the photo was not affixed by me.She checked my cashier cheque and directed me to customs. Ther was no talk about welcome to canada pack etc.Also she told me that the letter will be sent to my friends address and then i will be required in person to collect my PR card????? another experience awaited at the customs office.I listed my car in the goods to follow list. Even then the officer collected information about VIN# and the model of the car etc.Then informed me that i might need to pay $182 when i import my car and also informed that he initiated the procees.I am not sure whether this one is normal.I stayed at vancouver for couple of days and returned to seattle and there was no problem while returing at the US border.
Now there are two questions to the forum members:
1) will they send the card or letters to the address i mentioned and if they send the letter thne is it enough if i go alone and pick the cards my family members?
2) At the customs the officer said that he initiated the process for my car import.will that be a problem for me?
Thanks in advance
Srignram
