Hi kkill, You became PR on 20 March 2009. I assume it was the day you became a landed immigrant. Your first 5 years as a PR ends on 19 March 2014. You must clocked min 730 days residing in Canada by the end of your 5-year PR period. If you want to give yourself another 10-12 days buffer...

Here's the update of our time-line for the two non-urgent applications. See my earlier post on 28 Nov for background. 1. Applications were delivered by courier on 13 Nov, 2013. 2. We received your application for a permanent resident card on November 18, 2013. 3. We started processing your...

Thanks for sharing simplyp. Congrats. Have you received your new card yet? Cheers.

Hi p_c, here's the link to check your application status. Every case is unique so the timelines shared by posters here are just guidelines. For faster processing look up " URGENT PROCESSING" and follow instructions.

Hi, i know of someone close who have re-entered Canada a couple of times last 12 months with no questions asked since he changed nationality 18 months ago. Either officers never noticed or no issue. Comments by the seniors up-posts are correct, imo. Just make sure you have notarized copies of...

Hi, I would like to provide some update for the benefit of others. Last night (Wed 27 Nov) after 7pm, two ( not urgent) of my three applications were updated online. 1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on November 18, 2013. 2. We started processing your...

Thks Sept, Hopefully you get to see your status soon. Keep us updated. The earliest we will hear from CIC is 2-3 months later based on processing schedule. Im no longer hopeful that the urgent processing request for one of my applications would be done in time. I shudder to think 2-3 months...

Hi Sept, Reading from this forum, I hear various applicants posting the date their applications were delivered/received by CIC. In your case -23 Sep - do you mean it was the date delivery was confirmed by courier service OR CIC indicated it. Im just curious and waiting too. I couriered a...

Hi reading thro the posts, it may seemed that the officers prefer returning PRs who have been abroad for some time to indicate "visitor" in custom forms. I will NOT although I read what NArtist last posted. Im not trying to be arrogant or know the rules intimately but my stance is based on my...

@Bako, Hi, Im a newbie so my added value might not be high. Here are my 2 cts, if I were you as your case is pretty tricky. 1. I would call CIC and get advice. I would call twice and speak with a diff person to confirm the advice of the second is consistent with the first CIC advice. Try also...

Hi nrg, Extra page(s)? If you meant the excel/ word sheet(s) you submitting - yes sign each and include your UCI. But if you mean extra page(s) of the official Form with the appropriate section, i dont see a need to sign them. I think the UCI / Client ID and the ID on our PR card that comes...

Hi I have a qt regarding Use of Representative. Im the uncompensated Rep for my spouse. Im not using a Rep as I'm the one who is most familiar regarding our Immigration & PR history. She completes and signs Form IMM 5476. There is this qt 10 in the Form which says " If your spouse is included...

Hi, if non English/ French stamps are before I landed and more than 5 years ago - do I need to translate them? Thanks in advance.

Hi I think you can do either. You can look up my recent thread 3 days ago. Personally, I find excel is easier for a long travel list but it is really a personal decision.

Thks Msafiri. When we send in ALL pages of our passports they do not have to be certified ExCEPT the page(s) where translation is involved ( if any) - is my understanding correct? Thks.

Hi Msafiri (or anyone). I understand the suggestion in pt 3 -to submit my unsigned (also unstamped) COPR however Im also concern it may lead CIC to raise more questions (eg if it is lost why I'm not reporting it or worst did I enter Canada legitimately) and stop/delay processing my PR...

Many thanks for the very clear advice, Msafiri :) I have my last 2 years of NOA from CRA ie 2013 & 2012 - sorry it wasnt clear. The days count are based on all the entry & exit USA stamps (as I travel only via USA airlines when I leave Canada) in my passports, and they matches with my...

Hi can someone who knows some of the answers, PLEASE HELP. Much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hello, This is quite a long post (sorry). I hope someone can advise/clarify. Thanks in advance. I can't find my original COPR (the flimsy copy, I think). I only have a pcopy but it is before it was signed and stamped ;=( My PR is expiring soon - this month; I landed almost 5 years ago. The...
