Hello Friends,
I would appreciate if some one could help me with my obvious questions. I am posting so that somebody could
reconfirm my opinions. I have been recently given the immigrant visa to Canada. I need to report before a
certain date but I cannot immediately go and settle down in Canada due to my current commitments. I
understand that I have to physically go to Canada for the PR status. My questions are:
I picked Winnipeg, Manitoba as my intended destination, Is there a particular port of entry that I need to
go through or is any entry fine?
I wish to go to Canada through the Windsor Tunnel (US Canada crossing) but after I get there, is there any
other place I need to travel or does the immigration officer there would take care of all my paper work?
Do they offer immig services at Windsor Tunnel 24/7 or are there particular operating hours?
What are the documents I need to carry?
Thanks, I know most of my questions look silly but I am trying to be sure of what I am supposed to do and
good luck with your applications.
Regards,
Syendu

Syendu,
You may finalize your landing procedure at any Canadian port of entry except Quebec in your situation.
Border crossing at Windsor office is fine, CBSA / CIC provides Immigration services there.
You have to bring with you your proof of founds, your customs declaration specially if there is anything else that is going arrive in Canada in a later date, your CORP, passport and visa.
Make sure that your documents are ok and VALID, the name on your visa has to be the same as your passport and also check the information in your landing document (CORP).
More likely at the office they will give you a envelope with an application for your SIN number.
If you have an address in Canada, provide it at the port of entry so CIC can mail your PR card.
If you don´t have one, they will give you a form that you will have to fax to CIC later.
Have a safe trip.
Welcome to Canada.
