Hi everyone!

Is there anything specific I need to know when I go through POE at the Trudeau airport in Montreal this weekend?

I am bringing 2 luggages, a backpack and the sealed envelope I got with my visa. Also i will have all the paperwork I originally did for the interview itself (just in case) :whistle:

I guess my main question is what do they give me after they look at all my paperwork in secondary? The I-194?

Do I have to make sure anything is stamped or given to me?

Thanks so much guys. I will totally write a review of the POE once I get to Florida.

Hey Domegal,

Congrats on the big move, you must be excited!! You sound all set, the most important thing is the brown envelope and passport, obviously. Of course have a small list or be able to advise customs what is inside your luggage and stuff.

So they'll take your brown envelope and then give you an I-94 stapled to your passport, this cost $6 USD. That's really important, as you need it for AOS. That's all I can think of, since you're not importing a car or anything you don't have to worry about that! All you'll get back is your passport with I-94 and a stamp on there....

GOOD LUCK!!

Oh and one more thing.... you know this already, but get there REALLY EARLY!! Sometimes secondary is busy, and you'll take a little while. So make sure to get there at least 3 hours before your flight to be safe

Thanks Jill! I didn't know it cost 6$USD. LOL....now I'll be prepared. And yes, i am totally excited to be going yet sad to leave my family and friends.

You'd think they'd give you the damn thing for free, after all the money we spend on this immigration stuff. But nope, they still ding us for six lousy bucks :lol:

I know what you mean, it's a feeling of excitement for sure, and sadness at the same time. Wow, hard to believe my POE was nearly 1 year ago in a few weeks! Time sure flies

When you move to Florida look me up! I'll need some Canadian friends for Sean for when he feels homesick. :thumbs:
