Test marked as completed in June. Language, presence, prohibitions all marked as completed in August. Only background check is still in progress (no FP requested). Anyone in the same boat - all completed except BG check? Usually it's the other way around - BG check completed first, then...

How about renting in other cities - like Ottawa, for example? Is it as easy to rent there as in Toronto if you're a newcomer and don't have credit or a job?

You'd tell them the truth - you had to go out of the country because of family/work-related business or whatever and your PR card wasn't ready yet at the time you left. Can't see why this would be a problem.

I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be valid. At the time of issuance, the card is valid for five years. The travel document is just a temporary paper that is valid for a single entry.

As knowAndShare already mentioned, if you don't have a PR card, you need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document at the nearest embassy. I'm not sure that you can apply for it only once - after all, it's meant for situations where you don't have other documents, for whatever reason...

Nobody asked me about my plans when I landed. I was only asked if I had a Canadian address to which IRCC should send my PR card. I said that I didn't have one yet, and they gave me an address form to fax to IRCC when I have one. I haven't heard of anyone who had any problems just because he/she...

You can rent an address at an UPS Store near you - http://www.theupsstore.ca/. They will give you a street address when you rent a mailbox, so it will not look like a P.O. address. It's about 20-30 CAD/month, I think. You have to visit the store of your choice personally and show 2 photo IDs...

To enter Canada again, you have to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) at the Canadian embassy that services your home country. As far as I know, it takes about 1-2 weeks to receive the document after you submit the application. You will use that document to show to the airline...

Thanks.

I took them myself. Bought some fingerprint ink from Amazon and used a rubber roller to spread the ink in a very thin layer on a glass plate. Take a look at the FBI website - there are instructions on how to take fingerprints and what makes acceptable prints. There are also some videos on...

Hi, Thanks for the update. How did you provide the address after landing? When I landed, I too didn't provide an address, but I sent it a week later by fax and also via a CSE (to be on the safe side). Do they need only the address update form for that (i.e., no PR card application form needed...

If it's outside Canada, it has to be notarized by a notary public as far as I remember. But the notarization text needs to be in English or French so the officer will understand it and there are countries where notaries work only in the local language.

Good luck. I hope you manage to get PR. You have degrees from some of the best universities in the world, so hopefully you won't have much trouble getting a good job in Canada.

The prices are here - http://taontario.ca/pricing/ It's $49 for the first page of a document and $35 for each page afterwards. Not sure if these prices include sales tax. Here are some more Canadian online translation services I bookmarked while I was looking for translations (I haven't used...

I used this translation service - http://taontario.ca/ They are based in Toronto but they accept documents online from anywhere. You just need to scan the oriiginal documents and upload them, and they will send you a scan of the translation notarized by a Commissioner of Oaths. You can then...

It worked for me. I presented a reference letter from my supervisor - it was not issued officially by the company, but my supervisor signed it and it was notarized. I also uploaded contracts and salary raise letters. I got COPR.

The name of they company in your profile should correspond to the name mentioned in the reference letter. You can add a letter of explanation with your application and explain the name change and why your payslips have another name. It's good that HR will also mention the name change in the...

A colleague can give you a reference, even better if it's your supervisor.

If your age decreases after the ITA but before you submit your application, the system will recalculate your points after you submit your application. If they fall below the minimum for the round, the officer will disregard the points lost due to age and will assess your application as if your...

Thanks. I guess I'll do the same and take all documents I scanned for my application.
