You are not gonna believe this...
This morning I had a knock on the door from Canada Post. The delivery man was standing there with a Canada Immigration envelope from Berlin..! So I thought this could be my PPR or a request for additional docs. I very quickly signed for delivery and thanked the mailman.
I opened the envelope...
And was looking at what I thought was the PPR!
It wasn't until I at down later to read what exactly I was required to do next that I realized I wasn't looking at a PPR at all...
I was looking...
at...
my COPR!!!
I'll probably land tomorrow by driving to the border at Niagara, then probably take a day trip to the US first, then turning around and landing.
It is not a problem to land during the weekend, is it? No office hours only rule?
Congratulations. I know people who have landed at weekends, you can call the border to check times if you are worried. |

The only thing you will have to be mindful of is if you are importing the car you are driving across with...My husband and I just did this over the Christmas season and the us export office is only open between certain times and you have to notify them 72 hours before you get there...

I know about canadian winter, I have been here for a year! I'm double lucky, so to speak. But now I may work, study, apply for provincial insurance (covered after 3 months), travel in & out freely (once I get the PR card)... In other words, I'll officially live here rather than stay here as a visitor! I think that Winter in Ontario so far has been pretty mild. Last winter had SO much snow, now it's mostly rainy. Strangely enough, rain makes me feel cold. Snow does too, but less so. Thanks for your enthousiastic reaction. Makes me feel even more festive! |

The wait will now be more excruciating... We just found out that we are expecting our firstborn and my wife is now having a difficult trimester with all the morning sickness, food craving and just general sadness over me not being there going through all of that.  Out of frustration, I emailed CIC (replying to their email address that was sent along with the PPR request) asking if there were any requirements that is needed and stated my wife's ordeal and that we are expecting our firstborn. Now that I have a clear mind, I'm not so sure that my email (very respectful yet very clear over my sadness over not being my wife right now) is the best idea, as it had only been 3 weeks since I submitted my PPR. I hope this doesn't make them delay my visa even more... I'm really sorry to hear this ashwooddream. I sincerely hope and pray to god that you receive your PR very soon. I hope the CIC people understand how important it is for you to be with your wife during these times. After all they are humans too. |
