Hi guys how you all doing ?

I have couple of questions

1 I applied for PR via express entry / under Canada experience class. I got a passport request last week which I already Posted to Ottawa. My question does it mean I have been approved since they requested for my passport ? Because my online account still show reviewing eligibility and Checking background check

2 Pls I need the meaning to the following terms used in the forum so I can use it to compare my application :AOR, PPR,PP, PPT, COPR.

Thanks you

You'll need to talk about it. This story sounds familiar. A friend of mine who had this same experience was questioned at the POE in Canada when she was visiting for a conference and this was years after the incident. The officer asked her what happened years ago at the US/Canada border she and her friends mistakenly entered.

By the way, were you heading to Michigan or attending a school in Ohio at that time ?

Yes, you're right on the money! How did you know? I was studying in Ohio and traveling to Michigan to visit some friends.

Thanks for sharing your friend's experience. I will definately keep that in mind.

Ah! Your initial message sounded like you guys just made a U-turn and were back into the US lol.

If the process took 4hours, you definitely have to put it in your application. Perhaps use an LOE, to give as much as information as you can remember. Maybe even call the friends you were in the car with to give their own version of the story so you have something coherent.

I just read your initial message again, it was not your intention to enter the country but you sha entered lol.

That's a really good idea I'll get in touch with the friends since they may have better recollection of what happened. And then I'll explain in my LOE. Thank you so much for your guidance!

Might be a myopic view, but if your passport was not stamped/if there was no official documentation that you got into Canada then I’m not sure it is a problem. No need to talk about it.

Thank you for your insight. This was almost 5 years ago so I'm not too clear on the details. But I seem to remember exiting the vehicle and going through a search. Also the border officers taking our biometrics (i think so?) and issuing each one of us with a stamped white paper indicating our entry and exit. It took us about 4 hours for the whole entry and exit process.

Hello friends, I have been following this thread slowly but surely, reading all the information as much as possible.

I am now post-ITA filling out my PR application. I now need your advice as pertains to recording my travel history.

I just remembered that at one time while living in the US, my friends and I were driving to a nearby city to visit friends. Unfortunately, we took the wrong turn and soon found ourselves headed to Canada! Once we realized we were going the wrong way, it was too late, we could not turn around or reverse (road signs indicated it would be illegal). So we had to approach the border and were instructed by the border officers that we would need to enter and exit Canada first and then re-enter the US in order to continue on our way.

My question is, do I need to include this in my travel history?despite the fact that it was not my intention to visit Canada on that day neither did we go past the border office and also we did not carry our passports only our school ID was used for identification.

Please advise, thank you.
