Hi Klaus,

I am wondering what questions they asked at the Canadian entry port?
Will they ask whether i have been arrested or charged?

Thanks & Regards,
Terry

Hi,

there are two possibilities:
[list=1]
  • the flag pole run: take a car, visit Niagara Falls (or any other US checkpoint to the USA) and enter the United States. Depending on where you're from and whether or not you need a visa, they will either allow or deny you entry to the US. It doesn't really matter though, just tell them truthfully what your intentions are. Either they send you back to Canada or you voluntarily go back to Canada, go through the landing formalities and voilá: you're officially a PR.

  • The other option is to call CIC (1-888-242-2100), tell them that you wish to "land" and they will make an appointment with you.


  • The documents you need are all listed on the papers you received. If something isn't listed there, you don't need it. The landing process itself is really simple, they just ask you a few questions, you fill out a list of items you're bringing (probably none since you already live here), perhaps a list with goods to follow and that's it.

    Good luck :)
    Klaus
