All,
I plan to come to Canada in May, apply and get PR card and return to US. Would there be a problem if I got return ticket from USA (regwould it d why I want to go back)? Or would it be better if I come there and buy one-way return ticket? Any advice is welcome, particuarly from people who have come here from USA and gone back.

Regards.

Hi,

In March, I flew from California to Buffalo. I drove through the Niagara falls border by rental car and came back to US after a week. No problem.

Hi,

I am planning to enter Canada from the Niagara falls crossing for landing purposes in May,04. I am planning a 2/3 week stay and then rejoin my job here in Raleigh,NC. After one year I will finally make the move to Canada. Please suggest some answers to my questions, since you are one of the most recent cases to have been there for landing purposes.

1. How much time did it take to clear the bridge after all the formalities, I mea customs and immigration and what time it is less time consuming.

2. I found out that one can go through the customs and immigration during late evening hours as well, i.e it is open 24 hrs.

3. Hopefully you have received your PR card, how much time did it take
to come. Did you just take a bank statement(recent one) or you had the actual bank draft from the bank.
Appreciate all the help. My email id is I will check your posts and also my emal id.

Thanks,

Hi,

1. I crossed on Sunday around 11am and my family was the only one there. Immigration took 10 min. and customs 10min.

2.I think it is open for 24 hours.

3.I came back to USA after a week. My friend received my PR card in 2 weeks even though the immigration officer said that it would take 8-10 weeks. SIN card was received in 3 weeks.

4. LA consulate asked me to take the bank statement. But I took a draft for a small amount and the bank statement. But immigration officer didn't ask anything about proof of funds.

Hope this helps.
