Generally, you don't need US visa for flag polling (they give you a refusal letter,...).
But the problem is that, I have a single entry US visa, but I need it when I need to go to US (end of Feb. and my contract starts March 1st) for my research study in US.
No one knows what's gonna happen when I am in the border. The US officers may stamp my visa, and then I have to go to US instead of coming back to Canada for landing. If I do so, I cannot land.
You are still not stating what the issue is. You have copr and you can land anytime. You can go for stamping for US anytime if you have relevant documents from the company/institution.

They wont let u in if you dont want to..u need only a refusal letter,they will give it right away...just tell them u r going back for pr...it has nothing to do with ur US visa..entry to the States is another procedure...the will do general inquiry and criminality check at the border...
Btw guys, just out of curiosity, did you guys mailed the smaller version of Xpresspost return envelope inside the Xpresspost package ? Or did we had to fold the same size envelope ??

Although I had a US Visa, you do not need it. My wife does not have a visa, and she was able to do the process in exactly the same way. The only document I had to provide other than the COPR, Passport and the letter CIC sends is a proof of address. So, something like a drivers license will do. They didn't ask me for any proof of funds.
I too went to Rainbow bridge for my landing. However, I had to wait for more than 3 and a half hours. I've heard that Lewiston is quicker. So, that might be worth considering.
I just received my COPR in the mail today, I'll be landing in the next several weeks. I have some final business to wrap up here in the US and I'll be Canada bound permanently!

I don't know if this is true, but I lived in upstate New York and crossed the border frequently. I always heard the Peace Bridge at downtown Buffalo has the largest immigration team with the fastest processing queues. This is word of mouth, so I can't vouch for validity, but I did encounter fewer delays at Peace Bridge than the others.
I am about to be Permanent Residence of Canada. Right now I am on work permit. And I have some tuition credit from my few years study as an international student. I know my SIN will be changed when I apply for new at Service Canada after crossing border. My old '9' one SIN and new SIN will be linked together.
Can anyone please tell me that my tuition credits will be carried forward or not after BECOMING PR?
