I have visited and researched this forum quite rigorously over the last few months. One of the topics that I felt was not covered well in this forum is about "Landing in Canada (at a local CIC office in Canada) if you are already in Canada at the time of your PR application".8 P e' D* r8 C9 i) p

]# q6 K4 o' d( D9 BI applied for my PR as BC PNP in Nov, 2007 and I received my COPR in May, 2008. I went to Canada Place, Edmonton for landing (an important side not: PNPs can land at Canada Place on Thursdays only).

I took my passport with PR Visa stamped on it, my CIC work permit and my COPR with me to Canada Place. When I arrived at Canada Place at 9:30 am, I was attended to by a very charming lady at reception, who asked for my passport and COPR only. I offered my work permit to her and she kindly said, "No, it is not required". She stroked a few keys on her keyboard and stared at her computer screen for a good 45 seconds and then replied promptly, "You are good for landing and I will have one of our Officers assist you shortly".: U4 D- l# {, V# B, q9 c+ M
, o% b2 {/ H1 q: ?4 `I had to wait for less than 3 minutes and an even more charming lady, who happened to be the Immigration Officer, appeared and greeted me by shaking my hand. She escorted me to a nearby room and offered me to have a seat. We had a very nice chat for a few minutes about my education, life in Canada, and so on and so forth. Then she pulled out my COPR and asked me sign it. After I signed my COPR, she immediately congratulated me on becoming Canadian permanent resident. She then went on to explain that I am free to travel and work anywhere in Canada without any restriction, and she informed me of my rights as Canadian PR. She congratulated me once again and we shook hands for the second time before I exited the room. And just like that, within a span of 20 minutes, I had become Canadian permanent resident.: S/ Q5 U!
