At the Airport
You will receive a welcome package and a 5-10 minutes info session delivered by one of the CANN Officers. Then you will be directed to the Immigration Officer for an Immigration interview and PR card processing. You will be required to provide a valid Canadian address to the Immigration Officer. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will send your Permanent Resident card (PR card) to you by mail. After the Immigration interview, you can proceed to collect your luggage. Ask a CANN officer or YVR Green Coat volunteer for the baggage carousel number of the flight you arrived on. Oversized luggage and other special items can be located on carousel 35 |
