It is usually required you contact both of them 72 hours before your expected border crossing.

Q: What happens if I fail to do my landing before the date provided in the Approval letter?

A: No. Unfortunately it cannot be extended. You are given ample time to prepare and do your landing.

Q: Can I land in Quebec if I get my PR through federal skilled worker programme?
