I got mine in just under 2 weeks about. It's crazy how different each and every app gets treated.

I'd like to add that I did not use a single paper clip or staple. Nor did I separate things into 3 folders, table of contents, etc etc. Everything was just stacked in accordance to the document checklist. This method was advised by my cousin, who is an IO in Vegreville. And my uncle, who is an...

They are so inconsistant it's ridiculous. My ecas updated on point. A buddy of mine landed 4 months ago and his still says "Application Recieved" It's hard not to be stressed the entire time because of how inconsistant they are.

LOL, I laughed hard about this. For so many reasons... lawd.

I overnighted using FedEx. Signature upon delivery.

Appreciate that. Do you have a link for it? Nevermind I found it! :)

Yes you can literally work the day you get it.

I only brought my passport and COPR that was stapled in it to get a SIN. Didn't have to fill out an application.

Oops forgot to say I got my SIN number in less than 2 minutes.

I went into Service Canada the day after I landed and got a SIN number. They print you one on a sheet of paper and it's free to use right away. Your SIN card then comes in the mail in 1-2 weeks.

I got the same. Any idea what that "1" means?

Congrats!! :D

They wouldn't know if your brother has a mental disability to base their decision solely on that. They want more proof that he will return to Pakistan, just as they said in the letter.

I guess we were very fortunate things happened so fast for us. It's a shame it doesn't happen that way for everyone.

I stayed in Canada the entire time. I extended my stay once and they gave me 2 years. When I received COPR, me and my wife hopped in the car right away and drove across the border, did some shopping, then came back and landed.

Re: Passport Photo Question I just went to Fed Ex and used their scanner and sent it to Ottawa from there. It was good enough for them.

Honestly there is no right answer. It all depends on the officer you deal with. Best policy is to be honest.

I had a BC license long before I became a PR. What they wanted to see was my visitor extension showing I was able to be here for more than 6 consecutive months, after you show them that proof they issue you a license no problem. That was no problem showing considering I had to extend my stay...

Thank you so much! Your time will be here before you know it. Can I also be updated on the spreadsheet. Turn me yellow!! :)

It was mailed IN Canada. We crossed yesterday afternoon at Pacific Crossing in BC, went shopping in Bellingham, crossed back over around 11pm. The whole process was quick and everyone was really friendly. I went to Service Canada and got my SIN number today. Overall yesterday was a pretty good...
