Thanks for congrats Guys, hope everyone else is just as quick. Ironically got a call from the border last night, my daughters form was not signed correctly, so we have to go back to border to do it again.......Doh!

Hi there you Guys,
Just wanted to let you know I landed Christmas Day,    everything went so smoothly and quickly...
I took an Air Canada flight from Zürich to Vancouver with a stop-over in Toronto where I officially landed.  Everything went smoothly, just got asked a couple of questions, the Address which was written incorrectly on the COPR was corrected, where the PR Card will be sent to in aprox. 45 days, asked to sign the forms...got a stamp in my Passport   .... then those magic words ... “Welcome to Canada”... went to the next desk, got my Welcome to Canada Information Kit... picked up my Luggage .. went through Customs with another "Welcome to Canada" and off I was on the next flight to Vancouver and my Hubby. Ja Ja Ja ...    It was totally uncomplicated and over and done with before I even realised it.

Wish you all the best, will check in here every once in a while... Happy New Year to everyone ..

Hi guys!
It's so nice to log on here and see so many people that have landed.
I've now joined their ranks - got my passport back with my COPR on 28th and drove down to the US border today to land.
Good luck to everyone still waiting and thanks for all your support, especially in the early days of waiting! x

Hello everyone,

I have not been around in a bit because life has been crazy with changes, positive changes. i up and moved from New York state to be with my wife and have been waiting out the process.  My wife and I opened up our email a week or so ago and we were surprised to see this;

 

Dear Applicant:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.  We are now in a position to finalise your application. 

Within the next 30 days please submit either your passport(s) or a photocopy of the bio-data page of your passport(s) as well as any page containing an amendment of the: name, passport number or expiry date, or any page showing the bio-data of dependants.   

We also require two (2) recent photographs of yourself and each accompanying family member.

Hello July folks!

Does anyone know how long it takes to get your passport back after you've sent it to the visa office? as I read on the letter by the previous post you can send a prepaid envelope, so that could improve the chances of getting it back to you sooner, but I guess my questions is how long does the VO take to actually issue the visa to you?


Any input would be helpful

Cheers!

[sidkrose]

I think it -really- depends on your visa office. I would ask other people from your VO. We included a note to Berlin when we sent in my partner's passport, saying that he was travelling soon and they got it back to us in 7 business days! We didn't even include an envelope! But like I said, check with others who went through your VO.
