Anyone here receive their PR card yet? It's been 10 weeks since I was got PR, and they said 7-9 weeks until the card arrived in the mail... should I call the callcenter? ::)

So I landed today officially in Calgary! (my info is already on the chart) It was more or less what everyone said here. The interview was mostly a formality. Our interview was scheduled for 9:45 am, so we showed up at 9:30. They led us to a line to pay the $490, and here's where my biggest...

Because of typo ;) I have to pay $490, just like everyone else! And congrats on the landing date, yay! :)

I just got the letter with my landing date! It'll be May 17th in Calgary. laksdjflaskdjfalsdfkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlnnlkajdflkajsdflkajsdfj :D

So I got a letter (from March 27) confirming that I have PR and telling me to wait for Calgary to send me a landing date. Yay! It says I need to pay $450 before I can be given PR. Since I know it can take a long time before the landing interview, I think I want to get a temporary SIN number...

Today my ecas changed to "Decision Made"! There's nothing else new, but I'm pretty sure that means PR :D I HOPE SO Also, to everyone on this forum: you've been such a tremendous help. I'm so, so glad this resource exists. ;)

I love the useful statistics! They really are useful Thanks so much for the update 8)

Nope, not yet! But I was told that the website would take a few days and the letter wouldn't get to us until next week. ::)

Berber_amazigh (May 18) and I (May 24) both got AIP today, Mingming :)

By the way, if they want extra documents (new medicals, etc), where do they usually tell you? In the AIP letter, on the website (ecas), or both?

I didn't say AIP because she didn't say so on the phone, but she mentioned OWP and getting a work visa-- so I think that's AIP, yeah. They received my application on May 24th, 2011 and started processing on June 2nd, 2011.

;) ;D ;) I just called, and according to the woman I spoke to, I was granted a work visa (OWP?) yesterday! Oh, goodness, I hope I get PR soon too. I wonder how long until I find out? I hope they won't want any renewed documents....

Thank you! Nothing yet, but I'll check every few hours.

Congrats, Berber_amazigh! I'm glad you got it so early this week ;D

Missha, yes I hired a lawyer for the process. I needed police certificates from four countries, and I sent my application with two of them. I sent the other two later, when they arrived.
