hi ortom! i've been looking for information about who needs to file a tax return so this was helpful, you need to have been resident in canada for at least six months. in my case, since my family and i landed in may 2012 and only stayed five days to take care of landing formalities and have a...

Leon, you've put my mind to rest, thank you:) i thought as much but it makes all the difference to hear it from someone as knowledgeable as yourself. all the best!

hi all Smiley i posted recently re pr cards that had not arrived - well, it seems that three now have but the fourth one hasn't - apparently because my daughter's photo was not up to the specs. and we are not currently in canada. the photos were sent to a friend's address. we're finding it's...

thanks devil ;D i definitely will check it out and hopefully report all went well can't believe we're just weeks away from landing :o some ride it's been but i know it's been worth it fingers crossed everyone will be weeks away from landing very very soon, best of luck all ;D

hi all we will be landing this month but will stay for only a few days (we're returning to our current home to wrap things up and plan on moving permanently to ca next year) and we have no address to give for the pr cards on landing. we would much rather try to find a way of getting the pr...

i received an email saying they don't have my meds results on thursday, i emailed them thursday, faxed them friday and emailed them again, on monday they sent an email, beginning of working hours, saying they'll get in touch once they receive the meds results and then two weeks later to the day...

wow banrad, you got lucky and happened to come across a nice visa officer, one who might actually be a human being, capable of empathy! amazing! and this commitment to one week! completely unbelievable! i'm so happy it happened to you:) enjoy :D i'll email them if i can't sort things out any...

thanks all! best of luck to everyone :) @banrad - congrats! will you be mailing your passport(s) or are you planning a little trip to vienna? i have no time to go to vienna, what with exams and the start of the semester (i see your noc is 4131 so i'm assuming you know what i'm talking about)...

just wanted to post, should anyone find themselves in the same situation i was in two weeks ago, that you shouldn't worry, everything will be alright... we got PPR yesterday! no one notified us that the medicals that had gone missing were found, they just sent us the PPR. so this leg of our...

nothing yet. they did email me to say thank you for the information i sent. and my address has disappeared again from ecas (the same thing happened right before i got the email saying where are your meds results)... so we wait... what about you? any news?

hi, just wanted to bump this one up a bit and i do have a question: if we decide to go ahead and do the medicals again - even though we've done them already, they got lost and we don't know whether our vo will admit that this is what actually happened - how can we do them when we no longer have...

hi yukon! thank you so much. thank you for being so helpful and, maybe even more so, thank you for being so CALM! you've been here and done this and you've managed to pull through so i have some hope that the same will be true of me. i'd give you +zillion, except i don't think i'm allowed to...

hey again thanks to everyone who's replied or pmed me - it means a lot to know that we are not the only ones this has happened to - at least i know that this kind of situation can be resolved. although i really wish that FOR A CHANGE the stupid person who was resoponsible would - you know -...

thanks to everyone who has replied! i really appreciate it problem 1: the designated medical practitioner who did the exams insists the fault is not theirs, we're waiting for their boss to get back from vacation monday to see what she'll agree to - i hope they can give me something in writing...
