    Mailed application 4 weeks ago and no AOR?

    Hi all, I mailed my PR card renewal application 4 weeks ago from Waterloo Ontario to CPC NS and have not received AOR yet. I stupidly didn't get tracking and now worried about it. Has anybody had similar length of time?

    taxation while on work permit

    Hi, In the 2014 tax year, I was on a work permit up until 15th Feb where I became a "Visitor". Became married on 21st March and Applied for PR and "landed" 21st December and didn't work the rest of the year. I understand that it doesn't matter what date you were married, as long as it was in the...

    Yep as yokies said, apply outland and put your home address as your Canadian address. Then, depending on how straight forward it is, it will either go to Sydney, Mississauga or Ottawa and should get it in a few months. Also, if you are into Aussie Rules, check out...

    I'm fairly certain it would be like the Inland application landing, do they tell you to bring 2 photos, passport and updated information chart? If so, then you would be landing there and would not need to do the border run. After the interview, the officer would fill out your COPR, you'd sign...

    Also, 6 months would be more realistic as you are applying for Common-Law sponsorship. They may scrutinize your application a bit more as oppose to a Spousal sponsorship. Some of the Spousals have been getting COPR in under 3 months but if you've got everything in order, it should be fine.

    You most certainly can apply Outland and still reside inside Canada, I was the entire process. Outland is FAR better than Inland. It's on average 6 months from the date you send the application to receiving COPR. Inland could take up to 18 months-2 years, you also HAVE to stay inside Canada...

    11 months is the absolute maximum, most are around the 5-6 month time. So you got PPR 2 days after SA???? That must be some kind of record?? Are you sure you got that right?! PPR is the final submission of Passport/photocopies of passport pages, 2 x immigration photos and the updated...

    I'm not sure what you mean? I'm going by yokies and myself already living in Ontario. If it's you sending it from Australia then, yes, it would take longer. If it's comparing Mississauga to Sydney for receiving your COPR then it wouldn't make a difference. The decision would be made and it's up...

    Don't feel stupid, they really word a lot of things badly in a lot of the Immigration Applications and questions. What they should say is buy 2 envelopes and put one inside with your name and address on it, along with your paperwork and photos.

    Travel To Canada Whilst Waiting For COPR

    If you really want to you can. Just don't lose the COPR! It's up to you, within the expiry date, when you want to "Land"

    No worries, It's really easy. Just inform the U.S border officer that you need to flagpole for Canadian PR and they'll wave you over to the office. Wait in the car and a officer will give you a piece of paper stating your flag poling and will escort you to a side gate. Drive through to the Toll...

    customs warning

    What does a customs warning mean? Did you try to bring in fresh food or a surplus of money into whatever country?

    I've just been in this situation and it only took 1 week from when I sent it to receive my COPR from Ottawa. You just put your photocopies of your passport pages, updated information of just you and the 2 x photos in 1 of the envelopes and then fold the remaining envelope (addressed to yourself)...

    Marriage license

    Yeah I had major problems sending in the long form. First they told me I hadn't sent them a Marriage Certificate. They didn't specify anything and thought it was because I sent an original. So I sent them a photocopy and they said I've sent them a marriage license! I replied asking to be...

    Interview for finalization AFTER I've already landed??!

    Thanks for the reply, It gives me a lot more reassurance! It's strange, I haven't changed address or anything like that so it's weird that I received it. I have been living in Ontario for over 2 years now but applied outland. I wonder if anybody else in my situation has received this email?
