Landed as PR today
landed today using my COPR I'm a british citizen
the border officer and I signed my copr he kept a copy and gave me my copy and stamped my passport - the stamp it's like a normal stamp you get when you come into canada plus he wrote the copr doc number under the stamp is that all correct? I thought he would have stamped saying I was a PR or something along those lines can anyone confirm that it's all ok what he did I was given no welcome to canada it seemed rushed to me.. Is the stamp correct with the copr doc number under the stamp? thanks |

Re: Landed as PR today
When my husband landed in Toronto, he had to go to the separate immigration section, filled out bit of paperwork, and they gave him a whole "welcome to Canada" package - a carrying sack, some books and info about getting settled (SIN, OHIP, etc), a day planner (lol) and a few things like that... and the border dude said "Welcome to Canada" when we finished up!

Re: Landed as PR today

Re: Landed as PR today
Due to budgetary measures CBSA/CIC have cut back on the amount of ticker tape parades and marching bands for landings.
Some offices will give you a Welcome to Canada package that may contain a pamphlet and maybe even a Canadian pin or some cheap made in Chinese piece of tat. The stamp in your passport will just be an I with a line and the T number from your COPR written underneath the stamp. You may get the happy smiling face Welcome to Canada you are now officially a Permanent Resident and a reminder of the 730 day residency obligation and perhaps where to register for healthcare and get a SIN or maybe just a Here you go sort of look which basically means **** Off cant you see Im busy and not another bloody Brit Immigrant. |

The last time I came through Pearson was the first time with a Canadian passport, I got a "Welcome home". That was nice.:p |

We got the surly treatment too when we landed. They kept us waiting in a freezing cold hallway for no apparent reason, 3 CBSO sitting around chatting, then we were told off for something.

Apparently senior management are looking at purchasing the yellow smiley badges that WalMart greeters wear and say Hi Can I Help You ;)
