pls share your visa stamping and landing experience. how can you do both at the same time? pls explain. you are in canada or usa?
I live in Canada. I used to be on a Work Permit. I wrote my landing experience in another thread... I'm copying it here for us October applicants  So I just landed....!!!
I got my PPR on Wednesday, Feb 22... I was busy on that day getting pictures, bank statements and making other preparations for my trip to US.
I left from Toronto at 5:15 am on Feb 23 and reached Buffalo via Peace Bridge. I reached the Canadian Consulate at 7:15 am at One HSBC Centre. The receptionist asked everyone coming to wait at Tim Horton's and someone from the consulate would take us up there shortly. At about 7:45 a person from the consulate took us to the reception again and we were given visitor's tags and were directed to the 30th floor. There were a few people before me at the counter. My passport and pictures were submitted well before 8 am.
Then the dreaded wait, we weren't allowed phone's either, so it was boring.... at around 9:30 our numbers started to be called out. I got my passport with PR visa stamped and COPR at about 9:45. I could have landed soon after, but I had to go elsewhere in US.
Later that evening, I got to Detroit-Windsor tunnel (after a really long drive) and then landed. I was asked absolutely no documents except my passport and COPR. I was asked general questions about whether I'm importing anything, etc. In about 10 mins, my passport was stamped and I became a PR.

Just want to share my experience too. I was almost defeated by my frustrations and thinking to forget our application and plan for another. But I emailed them and telling them that it is hard to plan for our future without knowing the status of our file. After 2 days, I got the good news PPR!

I received a mail from CIC Buffalo today.
"Dear Sir/Madam:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview....."
What does it mean? it noticed no additional documents are required this time...
this letter should come with med check form which I submitted last July, but why do I receive it now?
Anybody has idea on this?? Thanks.

I received similar letter when they asked me for police clearance to be submitted within 90 days. That means you are close in getting your PPR. Congrats in advance. |

In my letter, they ask for nothing, so it means I just wait? Thanks for your answer |
