    Are you required to have a passport when you send your application in?

    You need to send in a photocophy of your passport with your application, so I would suggest that you don't send it in prior to getting a passport.

    request for passport - time period? (UK)

    I think i was given 60 days to provide my passport to UK CIC. I received my PPR in UK on 5th Jan, but already had ticket booked for flight to Canada on 12th Jan, so came over and sent it back to UK on 20th Jan. I think there will probaby be enough time if you are only needing to travel for a...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    1) Unfortunately everyone's time is different I really do think that it depends on the IO that picks up the case. 2) I was never able to log into Ecas using my own details even after I received PPR. 3) I would suggest you get a return ticket, as I was sent to secondary immigration, when I...

    when should we buy our plane tickets? one-way or return?

    I had this big decision when I came to Canada just before I got PR, and after loads of stress, I decided to go one way ticket, but then found out it was about £100 cheaper to get a return ticket, so did that instead, although I'm not going to use the return portion. Also it was good for when I...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Hi pinklady, It was a bit annoying to be honest, as the passport had already been sent, but my friend was working away from home for a couple of days. And yes, the passport arrived at CIC London on 20th January, and was posted recorded delivery leaving CIC London on 15th February, but as she...

    Landing Process

    Although my husband was at the border with me, they didn't speak to him or need him for anything. And although I didn't need that many things to get to a border, it was a 15 hour drive for me, but soooo worth it.

    Landing Process

    I landed on 25th February via Sweetgrass, Montana as that was the closest US border to me, as I also have been staying in Canada and applied outland. It was very simple and easy and took all of about 15 mins. I was a bit nervous but it was a bit anti climatic really. After telling American...

    Reference from your auto insurance company

    I believe this would be the same as your no claims discount in UK. Unless you have car insurance in your name, I don't think you can get one.

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    As I was already in Canada, I put my friend's address on the envelope and she fedexed it over to me in Canada. They just sent it there and it was fine. She was actually at work when it arrived so they left one of those card things and she just needed to go to the local post office and sign for it.

    PR Card Delivery (No Mailing Address) Please Help

    I haven't got my PR card yet but drivers licence place and SIN card place had no problems just taking my CORP. I am staying in Bonnyville in northern Alberta, although I landed in Sweetgrass Montana and they just didnt have any problems with a PO box so I assume no landing site would.
