Thank you so much!! Once I get my PR card, I'll give the Nexus center a call to see if I need to go in person or if it's something I can just update online.

I landed on March 4 and I'm currently still wanting on my PR card to come in the mail. I cross the border a lot (US Citizen) and have previously used my NEXUS card every time. Might be a silly question, but do I use the NEXUS card/lane and then show them my PR card if they ask when crossing...

Ahhh ok, yeah I knew it was different for each country. Best of luck!

I was also here on an IEC working holiday permit. I'm sure the rules are different for every country but mine(US), just had a change in their rules for IEC that we could apply twice in a row(without having to return to the US to college for a semester). I'm not sure of the UK rules for IEC, but...

Same as Juniorrlopez. I had mine up here from December 2015-July 2016 and never had an issues even after having an accident. Again, make sure you let you insurance provider know before but other than that, it won't be an issue.

YAY!!!! I got mine too at 11pm last night!!!!!!!! AHHHH SHOPPERS NEEDS TO OPEN ALREADY!!!!

I haven't yet! Got DM on Feb 7th!

waiting as well!!! Maybe CIC will be our valentine and send out the emails tomorrow :D :D

Let me know when someone receives their email!!! I keep refreshing my email page, but I believe we have about a week until the email will come after DM on ECAS.

same here!!!! Decision made!!!!! woohoo!!!!! now to wait for the email!! congrats everybody!!

I'm a September 7th applicant as well and my background check just started on Monday! Maybe we have the same officer and yours will start any day now!!

Hey guys!!! my background check finally changed to "in progress" at some point between Friday afternoon and this morning!!!! Woohoo!!!!! Cant wait to get DM status and my CoPR!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!! Background check in progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!! I complained too soon!!! I'm not sure when it changed, but I checked on Friday around 1pm and nothing changed and just checked this morning and it was updated to "in progress"!!! Thank you guys for making me feel better, I just...

You and me, both! Yeah, I've been here on a work visa for over a year now. My old one expired in December and I got approved for my second one in under a week, soooo that department is working! My job is starting to wonder if I did actually apply for PR hahaha :P

Yep, very straightforward. I'm a US citizen living here with my Canadian husband. I was approved for my work permit here in under a week so I guess I'm just confused why this part is taking so long! Married, no kids, no previous marriages, we both have Nexus.

Just wondering if I'm the only Ottawa Sept. applicant that hasn't had 'background check in process' yet? I told myself I wouldn't worry until March, but it seems literally everyone else has had theirs either start or DM already.

Thanks!!! yeah, it's just slightly disheartening when you see files sent in after yours going through quicker for no reason other than lazy officers. I shouldn't complain, cause I've already been in Canada for over a year now and able to work. Sometimes I get caught up in everyone's excitement...

You're not alone. I haven't heard anything since my application was transferred to Ottawa on October 20th :| I haven't even started background check yet and I have the most straightforward case.

Hanging in there! I was able to get another work permit(WOOT WOOT IEC program!), so I'm still living my life normally here for another year (which by then I will have PR)! It would be nice to see some sort of progress though, although when I finally get approved, it will be more of a fun...

I believe Alberta is one of the only(if not the only) province where you can apply and receive it ASAP no matter what. I know in Ontario, as soon as you become PR or in certain cases a valid work permit, you can apply but it still could take around 3 months before you are eligible. If your...
