485Pending期间登录加拿大

咱140已批，485无影无踪，加拿大移民签证9月到期，于是决定前往登陆。
从Budget租了车（注意索取Non Canadian Resident Insurance Card, 浩浩淡淡驱车去Buffalo, 从 Peace Bridge （据说Rainbow Bridge 较挤）， 奔往桥对岸，很快就见到加拿大的关口了。坐在booth里的一个凶狠的加拿大年轻人见了咱：
“Are you from US?”
“Yes, sir”
“Where do you live in US?”
“ xxxx state”
All of sudden, I realized that I should not have said that. Anyway, I have “abandoned” my US address and am landing to be a Canadian PR. I added:
“We are landing today”.
“Where is your stuff”
“It will follow”
“Is this your own car”
“No, it is a rental car”
By this time he got so impatient and yelled at us, and directed us to a parking lot. As soon as I parked, another long-faced man questioned us for another 5 minutes before letting us get into the building.
Inside the building, there were 4 officers in the right side called Immigration, and 4 in the left side called Customs. Our family was the only client. I greeted an officer that looked nice. He checked our documents, did not raise any serious questions, and asked us to go to a room to take pictures (my original pictures had shadows in the background and was not accepted). They congratulated us and told us that the cards should be on the mail in 5 -7 weeks.

Spent one week in Ontario and returned to US, again via Peace Bridge. It was hot and humid day, and spent 2.5 hours to drive through a ¼ mile bridge. Again, 坐在booth里的一个凶狠的美国年轻人见了咱：
“Do you live in US”
“Yes”
“Where”
“xxxx state”
“Where did you go?” (Thanks God he did not ask “Why you visited Canada”)
“Toronto”
“Have you bought anything from Canada”
“No”
He looked at my original F1 visa, my H1 approval notice and valid I-94, asking:
“So you came to US studying, and now working”
“Yes, sir”
Then he returned these documents to us. He didn’t stamp our I-94, didn’t issue a new I-94, didn’t scan our passport, and didn’t even search in the computer. During the whole process, he didn’t leave the booth, and I didn’t leave the car.
“Ok, you are all set”
“Thank you, sir”.

This is perhaps one of the perfect landing experiences。 对于坐在booth里的凶狠的年轻人，咱虽反感，但一想人家的pay $也就一小时10刀左右，算了吧。

这移民坛里，有很多人问问题，但除了小白兔等几个热心人，大多数人只索取不奉献。咱最讨厌那种只“take”不“ give“的人， 于是乎将这一登陆经验详细写出来与诸君共勉。
