Hi everyone,
I have got my 16 months old daughter's immigration(on the passport) from Buffalo office. My daughter is in Canada with us as a visitor now. I was told by the CIC representative that she needs to go outside and then come back to Canada for completing her immigration process (i.e. she needs to land to canada).
I am planning to get her landing process done by crossing the southern border and then come back to Canada. My question is If I go to the Niagara falls border then do I need to go through the USA
immigration then come back to Canadian immigration. If Yes then is there any way I skip the USA immigration and direct go to the Canadian immigration at the border. The problem for going to the USA immigration is that we (my wife and I both) do not have a valid
visa to the USA. Also we both are just the permanent resident of Canada not citizens yet.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated for avoiding USA immigration.
Thanks and Regards

I'm sorry. I don't see a way to completely avoid the U.S. immigration. There are people more knowledgeable than me, though. You could try to contact a lawyer on your own or call the Lawyer Referral Service of the Law Society of Upper Canada at 1-900-565-4577 (open Monday to Friday 9-5). For six dollars flat fee on your phone bill you can discuss this with an immigration lawyer for half an hour. You could also check out www.settlement.org in the immigration section and see if anything is mentioned there. Best of luck.

Well, you don't need to apply for an American visa. Since you don't go into US soil.
Take your & your wife PR, with your daughter doc from immigration. Have your pass ready as well.
They just ask you the reason for crossing the border. Show them the immigration doc for your daughter.
And you can turn around the car, stop at Canadian part, get her doc stamped, and Voila...

Yes you will need to go through US immigration. There is no way to avoid it. If you do not have a valid visa, you may not just be turned away but also detained by Homeland Security.

I believe you need to go to the US Immigration. If you don't have one, apply for one.

you could point out it yet in all likelihood won't get any factors for it, you basically get factors for ranges and diplomas. Your engineering course gets lots greater factors than a 6 month course.
