Just make sure to have all the documents with you. I brought a huge bag of everything i could think off, and the officer ended up asking me only for COPR, passport and work permit. Although i heard about other people that were asked for other stuff as well Good luck!

Hi, I was in the same situation - LMIA for 2 years + an open permit for the wife. The first step was to get an ITA (invitation to apply), and then we had 60 days to submit all the documents. After 5 months i have received an email asking me to send copies of our passports + pictures, and 2...

I did just that a few months ago. You can drive to the border, and you don't even need to have a US visa neither you have to enter US. I told the US officer that i do no want to enter and that i'm flag poling. He gave me a document confirmed that i exited Canada and refused to go in US , then...

So I will have to visit the Canadian embassy in the us?

Hi people. I have landed 2 months ago, and waiting for a PR card. Meanwhile i have the COPR paper attached to my passport. My question is - i heard that if i need to exit and return Canada (to US) before the PR card arrives, that might be a problem. Has anyone heard something about it?

Well it's not correct. I have an USA visa, and i just told the us officer on the border that i still do not want to come into USA, but just to turn around and re-enter Canada, and that's exactly what he let me do.

I have finally received the COPR papers. Unfortunately CIC made a mistake with my spouse's application and used her maiden name. All of her documents (drivers licence, sin document) are with her marriage last name, I applied to PR using her marriage name as well. They probably made that...

Do you need to show proof of funds while flagpolling at the border?

I am not sure that it's a problem but I thought better ask : I am on a work permit in Canada, has been here for 1.5 years. Work permit expires in June. I come from a country that does not require a visa to enter Canada. I will be flying to Japan next month for a few days. Should I expect any...

I'm a bit confused about the PR picture requirement : The instructions on CIC website say that the measurement from chin to crown of the head (natural top of head) needs to be between 31 and 36 mm. Now, when they say "natural top of head" - is it including hair or not? I have been to 3...

That is what they write me : "The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, permanent residence visa...

And does anybody knows how long those BG checks should take? I see people's timelines where it only takes a few days. My BG check started a few weeks ago, and it still "in proccess"

Hi all, i really need an advice on the following topic : I have a LMIA which will be expiring this June. Meanwhile i have submitted my documents for express entry about 3 months ago, and so far the only thing that has changed in my status is the med exams - they had been marked as passed. All...

Thank you for the update!

Anybody had the issue fixed yet? I still have the problem...

In the EE instructions it says to provide a report for any country that you have lived in for more then 6 months. 15 years ago, my wife took a long trip - for about an year in the US (she was older than 18 at the time). She visited friends and relatives, she didn't work nor rented an apartment...

Has anybody got their money back from CIC after incomplete application cancellation? Did they returned the whole amount? How much time did it took?

yep, already got another ITA. This time i'm taking a lawyer to go over my documents before submitting

Yes, they returned it because of passport issues. I have a new passport, i have just received it, it has no stamps at all, all of my stamps and visas are in my old one. The EE instructions say to provide scans of my Current/Valid passport, so that's what i did, and they returned it, wrote that's...

My EE application was deemed incomplete, and CIC sent me a letter saying that the funds that i paid will be returned to me. How and when am i supposed to see the return? I paid with my Canadian credit card.
