Thank you for your response. So we just need to drive to the US Border, then make u turn and come back. Can you please tell me in detail, how to do it?

Hey There,
I just did it myself (with my family) at the 1000 Island Crossing last month. Its a pretty straight forward process - go to the border and drive to the US side, tell them that you're there for landing as as PR in Canada and just flag polling. After that they will send you inside where they will check your docs and give you the white paper with your names on it. Drive back to the Canadian side, give them that piece of paper and tell them you're landing - they will then send you inside to complete the landing formalities. After that - Welcome to Canada !!!

P.S - We had a US VISA and still flag polled. You do not need a US visa to flag pole (in my case for example- my wife didn't have it). After that I cancelled my previous US VISA (as it was a student visa) and then applied for a new B1/B2 visa couple of weeks after landing - it went through easily.

All the best !!! Let me know if you have any questions.

That is right! Just make sure you carry valid documentation. Things they generally ask are your COPR, work permit/ study permit (if applicable), passport. Also, to be on the safe side carry a copy of your bank statement, I was never asked this but a few of my friends were asked to produce the same. If your also driving with someone, make sure they have the required id when returning to Canada.

Good luck.

Does the CIC account say anything like "we are reviewing your documents" or does it directly change the status to "approved"? I submitted new photos upon request last week. Is there a way to know through mycic profile if they got back to my application?

You will need your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and your application number.

Thanks alot - is it ok if a family member called for me to ask about the application status because I am outside Canada now?
