Qorax.....Need your advice

Hi Qorax....

As always, whenever there is an element of doubt in anything related to immigration,
your name strikes most of us, including me.

My son is already in Canada on a student's visa. When I enter Canada with my spouse
& daughter, what do I need to do regarding my son's immigration status. I'll be
carrying his passport with me to Canada where the immigration visa has been stamped.

I was planning to go to US ( probably drive down from Toronto to Buffalo) & get his
immigration status ticked while re-entering Canada. Is this a good idea??

Need your suggestions please.

Perfectly alright... given both of u have the US visa/s as well.

Else, he can just do 'flag-polling' or take an appointment from the local CIC office - for 'inland record of landing'*.

*They have serious 'wait-time' issues though... could take 2-3 months to get the appointment.

Qorax.....

I guess I don't have time for flag polling. We'll take a short trip to US.

How long does it usually take to get an US visa?

Imdtly after landing here if u desire one -- u r likely to be refused.
But hey, that's what 'flag-polling' is all about ! Just X the border - get an US refusal - return back - perform 'landing'@the Canadian BP.
