Hi Guys, If you are on a valid visa while in Canada (other than visitor status) than you should be able to land at an immigration office near you by making an appointment. If not, than you will have to re -enter Canada. My letter specifically indicated a valid TRV will suffice. Again, if you...

Hi Everyone, Just sharing my experience with you all. Once you get your PPR: If you have a passport from a visa exempt country (don't need a visa to travel to Canada) you can scan the photocopies of the passport and Appendix B. (this was my case) If you don't have a passport from a visa...

Thanks Can/Oz!!

Hi Guys, I haven't been around for a bit........we have our COPR in our hot little hands (as of March 14th) and planning the trip to the border in a couple of days, weather permitting. Hope everyone is doing well with their journey's. Cheers

HI Yannie. LOL. I had to giggle with the scanned photos comment as well. UPS sent us an email indicating the package was delivered already. I think the letter said 5-10 working days to process. So its just a waiting game now. Good luck

Hi Vipasha Why don't you email your Visa Officer and request the list of documents they require and your File number. I wouldn't worry too much about your medical, if it expires you'll just have to do another one. I realise that it is time and money but not point worrying about something thats...

You're good Bagel.........colour copied the photo page!! Ours were all B&W and I think it was fine.

Oh BTW guys you can email the passports as a PDF scan. It will likely take you awhile to zip the file (reduce it) and then send. Also Appendix B can be scanned and then emailed. I also asked the visa officer to send an email verifying that the emails were received and that they were able to...

Hi Yannie, Thanks. I just sent off the pics and used the UPS store. The pics and return UPS was about $300 canadian. Thanks Freezing-Oz....... Good luck with your application.....I have updated the spreadsheet. Cheers

Hi Bagel, yeah those big head shots are terrible huh:) Thanks for the advice. I called UPS (as it is one of the courier's listed on Appendix A) and its about $90 cdn one way. Ouch!!! I just keep on giving and giving and giving........ Cheers

Thanks Can/Oz It does feel good especially because I was worried they did not waive our interview and there was a possibility of going to sydney after we just moved to Canada ahead of our PR. I'm thinking your husband will have to likely redo the medical. But there is a silver lining to that...

Hi Bagel, Put me down for a PPR as well thanks (feb 21) ...... It's like a soap opera with the ups and downs;) Cheers

Hi Guys, Just got our PPR request tonight. So its almost over! Unfortunately, they asked for scanned passports, appendix B and ALSO more pictures. The pictures will slow things down as we have to courier them. The only reason I can think of for more pics is that we are over the 6 month mark...

Hi Yannie, Thats great news...... looks like you are in the final stages and will be celebrating shortly. I'm happy for you. Cheers

Hi Bagel, I'm inclined to agree with you. Since we've been in process from Jan 14th, I'm hoping there is no need for additional info or for interview. Crossing those fingers and toes. Cheers
