Hi there: I'll do my landing tomorrow and will bring my son with me into Canada. My son (1 year old) was born in Canada and he's a Canadian citizen. I wonder if he's considered to be an accompanying member or not? On my COPR it says that I have no accompanying member. Thanks

Hi: I'll be landing tomorrow. Can somebody tell me if I'll become Canadian PR right after landing? Will they give me some written documentation confirming that I am a PR while waiting for the PR card? Thanks

A friend of mine got his application back from Buffalo in about 1 month since he left some questions blank instead of writing "N/A".

Get married first. You'll get 3 more points from her education.

Hi border9999: If they ask you to take IELTS then you have to do it. The reason, i guess, is because the total point when you add up everything including education, work exp, ..., and "High" english language proficiency is very close to the pass-mark. I ticked "high" on all my English skills...

Hello: I'm in Canada on a study permit. My time line is similar to that of bla333: -Feb 20, 2007: application sent, applied as a skilled worker -Mar 17, 2007: got AOR -Sep 15, 2007: IA letter with request for medicals -Oct 02: medicals done -Nov 11: e-cas updated to "medical received" -Dec 12...

It took me appx 10 months to get PPR. I am also a student in ON, Canada. I filed my application in Feb, 2007, tool medicals in Oct and got PPR in early Dec. Good luck

Why do you need a 4-month statement? If they don't ask you to submit a 4-month statement then a 1-month statement should be good. I only sent CIC a 1-month statement and didn't have any problem.

Hi Speed: probably you are right. Actually I got PPR last week and I am waiting to get my PP back from CIC now. I filed my application in late Feb 2007 and took medical in Oct.

Hi speed: I am an international student in Canada.

Ahhhh sorry Vishs I was applying through Buffalo. I just learnt from CIC website that applications through Buffalo are not under SAP. I think I knew about this before but I completely forgot since I filed my PR application long time ago. Sorry for making the confusion. Good luck

Hi vishs: I'm sure if you don't submit anything as a proof of your language ability (either a letter or IELTS) the application will be returned to you within a month even if you grew up in an English speaking country like US or UK. This is what have happened to lots of ppl I know. If you don't...

1) You have to submit the language ability proof with the application. Otherwise the application will be returned to you. 2) Two cases might happen: i) they'll give fewer points than you expected or ii) ask you to take IELTS. The second case will delay your application for a few months until...

No IELTS is NOT a must. As it reads from CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-language.asp) there are two options: (1) take a language test or (2) provide other written proof of your abilities. Instead of taking IELTS you can write a letter explain how good your...

Re: File Application with Less then 67 Point?? Hi ramcis: I didn't even take IELTS test. The only thing I did was to write a letter explaining how good my English is lolz. I don't know how many points they gave me but my application was approved. You don't have to have 67 points at the time you...
