NOT landing
Ok guys...this question is probably been asked a thousand times in here but what the heck...this is the 1001th time:
I got my visa allready in my passport and have to travel to Canada in a couple of weeks but do not want to "Land" officially.
Do I just tell the immigration officer I don't want to land and will do so later? Anyone did this before me ?

Re: NOT landing
What is your nationality? If you need visa to enter Canada and you don't have valid visitor visa then you will have to use your PR visa, that means you will have to land. If you are from the visa waiver country then no problem.

I entered Canada by land twice from Detroit without landing to look for an apartment in Windsor. I used my visitors visa and didnt bring my COPR and didnt have any problems. Hope this helps!

Re: NOT landing
We came over here with the visa and didn't land when I came for my interview - came back 2 months later and landed. Just need proof (eg return ticket) and they asked a lot of questions but no big deal.
