Flagpoling in BC

[Canuckluvus]

My wife got her COPR yesterday and we plan to Flagpole at the Pacific Border Crossing on Saturday. It should be straight forward as she has nothing to declare now or later. We applied Outland and she has been here on visitor status since last October. We recently ( in Oct ) got a new visitor extension for 14 months. What exactly do we need to bring besides the COPR ( she is US citizen) and her passport? Will we also need to bring a copy of our applications, letter of approval for sponsorship, other correspondence from CIC, receipt for payment of fees or anything else? Some posts regarding this are confusing so I wanted to make sure we have everything. Thanks in advance for any info!

We only needed passport and COPR, and that's it (landed in Niagara Falls).

Similar query, will flagpole with/for folks. I live in Richmond, which one would be better AND we won't be bring any items later. So just carry PP and COPR?

On the same note

Can someone confirm these items I should apply

BC MSP
Care Card ( via ICBC - is that in person or by mail )
PharmaCare

What else is there?

my wife is US citizen so all she needed to get in US again was her US Passport and to return her US passport and her COPR. If your spouse isn't US citizen I'm not sure what u need to flagpole.
Your spouse will need to apply for a SIN. You apply for a SIN through a Service Canada office in person. To apply for BC Medical it's by mail. You would be adding her/ him to your account and paying the increased fee. Phamacare is only for low income people and based on income tax. If your employer pays for your MSP as a benefit then you "add" your spouse through your employer. The other thing is getting a drivers license

Just COPR and passport. BTW you can either go into secondary on the US side and wait in line to have your passport stamped or you can just drive into Washington state, go to a gas station/convenience store, buy something and get a receipt to prove that you've left Canada before going back to Canadian immigration. Depending on the line up at the border, the latter might be much faster.

Just wanted to run down the questions asked

Flag poling with folks tomorrow

As for any future items coming to Canada - I can say none right?
How about settlement funds? as they are already living with me on visitor visa since 2 years? and they have already transferred money over period of time? or this query only for economic immigrants?

What other questions? should we be prepared for
