We completed our declaration cards shortly after take off. Landed from Glasgow at 11 am TO time at Terminal 3. Collected baggage at proceeded to CBSA. On arriving at the desk, I produced my COPR. The CSBA Officer read my declaration card. Ticked a long the top on both sides and drew a line from top right to bottom left.

Told me to proceed to Immigration.

An Officer called me forward. I handed over my COPR forms. We spoke very briefly, but in a nice friendly manner. He then wrote a 4 digit number on the forms, signed the date at two points on each form, stamped both forms. Then asked me my address in Canada. Once he was informed of that, he signed both COPR's and then I signed. He then informed me that I'll receive my PR card within six weeks or so.

All in all. I was in Immigration for less than 10 mins and everything was completed.

Just thought I would share my experience for anyone else that will be arriving in Canada through Pearson T3.

All the best to you all ,

Garry

Can I ask when your application went "In Process" on E-CAS, just trying to work out when we will get our MR. Ideally we would like to think we would have our COPR by Aug, but as time ticks by its looking less likely. We have sent the requested RPRF and other documents and our application went "In Process" on 10 Apr.

Good luck and hope you all settle relatively quickly.


Best Regards

Drew

Many congratulations.

I certainly would get your Daughter to courier your PR card over. It would make the whole CSBA arrival as painless as possible.

Whereabouts in Canada are you relocating too, if you don't mind me asking?

Warm regards,

Garry.
