Dear Friends... Let me share with you my landing experience...
I left Dubai on 19th May morning through Emirates A 380 until Heathrow London. Food and services were excellent. Had a stop over of 3-4 hours at terminal 3. And the connecting flight from terminal 3 was AIR CANADA until Toronto. Services were nice too.
Landed at Pearson International around 09:00 pm local time. There was not much queue. First at the Passport control section, the officer checked our DECLARATION CARD (which was provided to us by AIR CANADA). And then he signed on it and instructed us to go on his right side to Immigration counter. There the lady was very kind. She asked for our CORP papers, passports and the declaration card. Asked few questions, like were we ever involved in any criminal activity or where denied entry by any country & how much money are we carrying. Then she asked for the local address , where she can send our PR cards.
With a smile , she said " CONGRATULATIONS, now you are the PERMANENT RESIDENT of Canada" and guided us the way to reach Customs officer. There was a very small queue. And i saw customs officers mostly opening the bags, checking all the stuff. So i had prepared my mind too for the same. So when it was our turn, i gave him the GOODS ACCOMPANIED AND FOLLOW LIST. He just went through the papers and asked whether are we carrying any food stuff with us.And did not bother to check the stuff inside our bags. He asked for our passports and CORPs, and at the end gave us one printed signed paper. And guided us the way to EXIT.
So hardly in 30-40 mints we were out from Airport, finishing all landing formalities. Took a cab until Studio 6 Mississauga, the fare was 38 CAD. And next day morning, took 19 A Bus , just next to the Hotel there was a bus stop, and got down at Dundas Street, fare per person was 3 CAD and be sure that you have the change. Got down on Dundas street and took 1 C bus until Dixie road where the SERVICE CANADA office is located. Please note one thing, the ticket which you will receive is valid for 2 hours, so i used the same the ticket when i boarded bus 1 C to Dixie road. So be sure to retain the ticket until the expiry time.
In 15 mints , the SIN card documentation was over. And hopefully, will go for a bank a/c later. I will be here in Canada for a week time. So if you guys have any questions or suggestions, please do ask or share with me.
Thanks to our dear CAPTAIN Qorax and all our senior Members of the forum who always guided me and everyone through all the phases.
Cheers..

For pre june 2010 applicants, they are taking 12 to 15 months for medical and 18 to 24 months for whole process till visa.
In response to my email to CHC London responded as follows: Dear Sir/Madam, This is in response to your enquiry. Unfortunately, it will take longer to process Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected. During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision. This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed. Because they reflect Canada's current labour market needs, applications under the most recent set of ministerial instructions are processed on a priority basis. Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or by email to the mailing and email addresses provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details. We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum. Yours sincerely, Client Service Unit Immigration and Medical Services Division | Direction de l'immigration et des services médicaux Canadian High Commission | Haut-commissariat du Canada 38 Grosvenor Street London, W1K 4AA | Londres, W1K 4AA United Kingdom | Royaume-Uni Government of Canada

Dear Saleem! They have asked for updated documents and they will review them soon before issuing any medicals. I don't think so your medicals were lost in the post but they were never issued. But keep hopes alive you will get medicals soon. Thanks

My online immigration application status says the following "We received your application for permanent residence on September 22, 2009. We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on November 24, 2009. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. Your application and supporting documents were received by the London England office. They are pending review. We transferred your application to the London England office on December 2, 2009. The London England office may contact you. We transferred your application to the London England office on January 27, 2011. The London England office may contact you." Can anyone suggest 1). what would be my application status right now 2). what are the expected timelines and 3). what are the next expected steps
