Re: My landing experience @ Tsawwassen BC YES! - I have learnt that the hard way :(

Re: My landing experience @ Tsawwassen BC Don't know about getting from Tsawwassen to Point Roberts, but I'm sure it can't be that hard. I'm from Victoria and drove/walked over to Peace Arch. Would have been real easy except the immigration guy filled my COPR out wrong, and I still haven't...

I landed at Peach Arch, BC earlier in the month. Pretty easy, waited an hour to get flagpole, then walk back. However, the immigration officer didn't fill my COPR properly (as pointed out by Services Canada) so I have had to mail in an amendment request. Don't quite know what will happen as...

Basically the immigration person didn't write the date on my COPR. Services Canada said they need date and signature/initial to make a new SIN. I called CIC and have mailed out an Amendment to COPR form with photocopies of everything, along with a letter explaining my case should be treated as...

Landed at Peace Arch, BC last week. Pretty bummed because my COPR probably has clerical errors from the immigration officer (as pointed out to me by Services Canada when I went to get new SIN), so no idea whether this will impact my PR Card. Will be emailing/calling CIC later to find out...

Thanks CanuckinUK. But is the Victoria ferry terminals set up for processing PR? I've never taken Coho or Clipper, but my impression is they're small offices?

COPR arrived by post today. No emails or anything between ECAS change and now because I'm visa-exempt. As per my other post, I'm now trying to find the most efficient way of landing near Vancouver island.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips regarding landing from Vancouver Island? After calls to CIC and CBSA, it seems I have to go over to the mainland and cross the border near Vancouver. I don't want to wait for an appointment, and all the appointments at the regional CIC services offered next...

My ECAS was changed last week to 'Decision Made'. How long are people waiting between MR received and other correspondence? My impression is it totally varies. (Also congrats to all those with recent progress :) )

Gaaaaah the wait is awful. :( Got my GMCS today (month after I sent request). Says still waiting on Fees despite my paying online in late-Nov, and both emailing and mailing receipt. Also no update on medicals, which I confirmed with my Dr were completed on Dec 13. Must. Be. Patient. :p...

Congrats CEC2013! And yay to all those making progress with MRs etc. Just wondering, can we check how much of our Medical data has been sent off? Just contact the Dr? Will it change in ECAS?

Might be a silly questions but what options do I pick to get GMCS notes? Access to Information vs. Privacy Act? Electronic or Paper Files? I'm a bit confused. I've never done these. Would it be useful to do at this point in time (just received MR/Biodata/RPRF request?) Nice to see a few more...

Got my MR today. Nothing else (RPRF? Biodata)....

Long time, no posts from me. Still waiting on my MR :( Reading with interest trying to track the time span, but am now resolved that things will turn up when they turn up... My biggest concern currently (despite the feeling of waiting for my future to be decided) is that my Bridging Work...

Question re. the questionnaire that is 'supposed' to help.... It's asking me to fill out a Schedule 1 Application for Temporary Resident Visa. Pretty sure that I have never had to do this. I'm on a PGWP and am UK citizen. Am I answering a question wrong, or just very confused?
