What would I get?
You’ll receive the detailed information from Canada Border Service Agency on your entry to the country. This information would be very useful if you are applying for PR card renewal or Citizenship. Exact days and time would be very handy to calculate your days in Canada.
What would I need to proceed?
You would need to know your file number
File number is a unique identification of your immigration or visa case. This number is always used when CIC communicates with you.
You may find this number on the first page of the document CIC sends to you. Very often, this number is quoted in an email sent to you from CIC.
If your visa application has been rejected, your file number would be written at the top of the first page of rejection letter.
Here are a few examples of file numbers: V123456789 – visitor visa application (Temporary resident visa or TRV); W123456789 – Work Permit application, S123456789 – Study Permit applications. Permanent residency application numbers usually start with B or E (EP for Provincial programs) or F for Family Sponsorship applications.
