Hi
I landed in Vancouver when first landing and it took at least 4 hours waiting for a 20 min PR form check.

Re: clearing immigration

Calgary airport and it took no longer than 30 mins. I guess it depends how many flights come in at the same time. We were lucky..........only 1 family ahead of us in the immigration line up.

Just bear in mind that all anyone can tell you is how long it took them, or their friend, or their great auntie Marge ....... no guarantees regarding how long it will take for you. :eek:

If you have PR Visa's what's there to check, surely that's all been done before in London. Did you have a :zzz: while they did it

This might have been because a place from India landed at the same time.

Blimey - we cleared immigration at Toronto in about five minutes on a Friday lunchtime! There were two people in front of us in the queue.
Passport control was the ball-ache. 1001 questions and had to fill in a seperate landing card - took about 20 minutes there.

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 2:11 pm.
