Also, my ecas is unchanged. It still says "In Process," with the usual app received, meds received, and processing app notes.
About 6 months after landing as a PR my e-cas status using my wife's ref # never deviated from In Process.

tl;dr --> e-cas is unreliable.

Hi Jenny parsely, as you are NOT visa exempted, you would need to mail your passport (& other docs as requested) to the visa office.  You can do Canada Post, Fedex, UPS, etc.  Visa office will then mail the passport/COPR back to your Canadian address if you specify that.

And check this out for landing in Canada without exiting/re-entering:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/first-landing-if-youre-already-in-canada-t100905.0.html

Hi all,

My husband has applied for my PR file under family class. I am Indian citizen residing in USA. I will be going to canada on visitor visa while my file is still in process.

Can any one tell me how to send Passport from canada to Buffalo office when the PPR arrives? And how to complete landing procedure while living in canada?

Do I need to get any appointment at visa office in toronto for completing my landing procedure? How much time it takes to get the appointment?


Please advise

Thank you Smiley

UPS tracking updated. It's in Calgary - 7 hours away, but now instead of being here Thursday, it's scheduled for Friday delivery. Grr! It's only 7 hours away!!

Lordy I am suffering from bitter-sweet. It is so great to see that people are getting PPR (yeah you). But it sucks that we are still waiting. We ordered CAIPS again to see what is up. We really didn't want to spend another summer in the south but here we go again.

I feel for you, GetUsHome.  Do you have any interview scheduled?  Is your lawyer helpful or not?
