Hi,

From Pakistan, I landed in canada and came back to US using AVR without applying SIN or BanK Account etc.

On my way to Canada, US immigration stamped the passport with an Exit stamp and While coming back, with and Entry stamp.

I have given the address of one of my friends for PR card.

My Questions,

1) Can he mail me the PR card to US? If so, what service is better with no chances of card being scanned in the mail.

2) As I have an US entry stamp in my passport on nthe same day I landed in Canada, Will it cause a problem in future? Immigration office told me that the temporary PR document in my passport is not good for travel.

3) Once I receive my PR card, do I need to show my passport while entering into Canada?

4) Is it OK to apply for SIN and Health insurance 3 4 months after landing?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
 
1) I am not sure, but remember reading a post that Immi officer mentioned the PR cards can be mailed from Canada to US

2) It should not create any problems in future, your PR document (COPR) can be used to land in Canada by land (road) .

3) I think you need to show, but not sure.

4) It shouldn't be a problem.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for replying.

- I was told that it is illegal to send PR card across borders and that the mail service does scan the outgoing mail and if they find any PR card, they might confiscate it.

- Also, once you have a PR card, why will they ask for the Passport?

What would you lose if you carry your passport with you?
 
Once you land, you have to live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years. So you have nothing to worry right now. You have done nothing yet to jepordize your Canadian PR status. Just ask you friend to mail you your Maple Card. Canada sends out fresh passports to its citizens in the US via mail. Relax!!!
 
Thanks for replying. Do I need to be there once in six months period, or I can go there again let's say after 23 months without jeoperdizing my PR status?
