    PR and not being in Canada

    I'm the one that was unlucky getting OHIP. I tried to register OHIP 2 days ago, the officer asked me question about if I traveled anywhere and if I have a plan to travel somewhere in the first 6 month after landing. I didn't want to lie so I told the truth that I traveled to US for 3 weeks...

    How much longer until we get the PR card???

    Sadgirl, Have you received your PR card? I received mine today. If it has already passed timeline on CIC website, then you can call CIC. I call them last week when I posted in this forum. This morning I called again to follow up, the representative said the card was sent out on Sep-13. So I...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Just wanted to let you know that we still stalk on the forum too, even though we already landed a while ago. Luckily we both get it, and are happy when other people make it through the process. Just an update for us, we're still waiting for the PR card to arrive, even though we landed on July...

    How much longer until we get the PR card???

    I'm in the same boat. I have landed since Jul-19 and still waiting for PR card. I called CIC this morning as it has passed 43 days processing time as it is mentioned in CIC website, the agent I spoke with said my card has not been issued yet. She said I have to just wait. So frustrating as I'm...

    visitor visa expiring!

    I'm from non-visa exempt country too. In my understanding, multiple visa will allow you to travel to Canada more than once during the period of visa but it doesn't mean it will guarantee that you can re-enter Canada by just crossing the boarder. It really all depends on the immigration officer...

    Odd email from Buffalo

    I think that could be. That's why they recalled the first e-mail. Your second email is exactly the same wording that I got in my email from Buffalo.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Your case is similar to mine. My husband and I are in our early 30's and met online about almost 3 years ago. I came to Canada around July 2008 as a student and eventually got married on Christmas day on Dec 2009. It was just 2 of us, no friends and no family for the same reason as yours. I was...

    Can I travel when PR card not received yet?

    Sorry for misunderstanding...I don't know about that case as I didn't ask the officer (I am not from visa-exempt country)

    Can I travel when PR card not received yet?

    No, you need travel document from the country that you visit. But if you travel by your car ie. crossing the border to US and come back by car then no problem as you can use record of landing paper to reenter Canada.

    Can I travel when PR card not received yet?

    This post was kind of old but I think I would post some information that might be useful for people about my experience. 1. TRV is not cancelled once they stamp PR visa in passport. I don't know about other people who send the passport by mail if it will be the same. My case, I went to get my...

There was 3-4 people in the line before me. I was waiting for 15 min in the line and then I handed my document to the officer. After she...

    Buffalo Office - 3 photos requested, why did they return 2 photos back?

    When I went to pick up my PR visa, I was requested to bring 3 recent photos. They returned 2 photos to me in the envelope that they put my landing document. I didn't ask them as I was thinking I might need to use those photo when landing. I landed yesterday but I didn't need to use any photo and...

    Hi guys, I just landed yesterday at rainbow bridge Niagara falls. I wanted to land earlier but I planned to go to Mexico at the time I got passport request so I decided that it would be better to do it after coming back from Mexico. Landing process was so easy. I left home around 6am and drove...
