    Two days ago I went to local CIC office to do my landing. When I mentioned the mistake in my last entry date, the officer said that in previous years it was a big deal but not anymore (because at that time, they counted days before PR as credit for citizenship). Then I said, what if the...

    What about CRA (Canada Revenue Agency)? Do we need to inform them as well? Also I think we may need to inform our banks as well. Specially if you have a TFSA, because I remember for TFSA they asked for SIN number.

    Hi everyone, I sent my passport to Ottawa yesterday and now I'm waiting for the return package. Given that I plan to land in one of in-canada CIC offices (without crossing the border), I was wondering if it is possible to book my appointment now before getting the COPR/VISA?

    I am amazed by their algorithm for selecting applicants to send PPR. To me, it looks like "last come, first served"!. Many December and November applicants getting DM/PPR while there are still Sept/Oct. applicants.
