| ImmigVisa & LandingPaper got in person from Canadian Consulate Buffalo |
|
Two things:
1. If I am correct, the immigration people let you have a travel document. This document can be used if you need to be out of Canada before your PR card and then come back.
2. What about a visitor visa? Say if one have a valid visitor visa cant they use the same to re-enter (I am referring to ppl with PR card applied)
u bring about interesting points.
1. The Landing paper (COPL) is valid for 2 years from date of Medical, and this is a 3 layered paper: The CIC officer at POE will sign on this paper, note the cash u r carrying, put down the province/border post u landed.etc & U'll have to sign in front of him. U will be given a carbon copy! Then u fill the paperwork for CIC to mail the CAD-PR to your local Canadian Address. Your Single Entry Immig Visa will be cancelled!
Lets say u go back to USA, in a matter of 2-3 days after applying for Cad-PR. And CIC after 4-5 weeks, instead of mailing the PR, mail u a latter asking for you presence to validate certain documents, U R SCREWED! This happens, if the CIC border agent suspects that your intention is to go back to USA, they will add notes in your case & make ur life miserable!
Options: Apply for a returning residency permit at a local CAD Embassy (NYC), and take this to the border, and it depends on the discretion of the CIC border agent to let u in! Pain in the butt! I hope this dus not happen to anyone else!
2. Even if multiple entry V1 visa is valid, I am not sure how one can enter enter canada as a Visitor, when one had landed as a immigrant previously! Impossible! |
