No, no, no......keep celebrating. Was wondering given that the email looked the same (we're ready to send you your visa, send us your passport, etc.). I thought it would at least say "send us copies of the pages in your passport and do x,y, and z by x when you arrive at the port of entry of your choice by x date." Oh well, add it to the  drawer for our lovely VO. Phew! You had me worried for a second! *Resumes insanely dancing around the room* Seriously though, I wasn't expecting to still have to send my passport, but knowing Buffalo I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them 2 yrs to properly implement the change. |

Noooooooo way, no need to worry. You're home free, as far as dealing with Buffalo goes (okay, I guess you have to deal with them to take care of your passport and return it). Now you just deal a teeny tiny bit with the nice folks at CBSA. Funny how you were the one to get it after a 2 week dry spell and you were also the one that was regularly posting about the lack of PPRs; as we say every so often here, "those IOs must be reading our posts."  Phew! You had me worried for a second! *Resumes insanely dancing around the room*
Loooool, seriously. Seriously though, I wasn't expecting to still have to send my passport, but knowing Buffalo I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them 2 yrs to properly implement the change.

Congrats AmericaninQuebec....
I am still around....keeping track of the March spreadsheet and cheering you all on!!!
Have I got a funny story for you all...I got 6 ecas tracker updates...November 30 x3...that there has been a change and a decision has been made....well duh...hubs landed Sept 3.
December 1x3, your ecas tracker has been deactivated as there has been a decision made....well duh...again it was deactivated in early Sept. The decision made showed up on Aug 19....
Guess the tracker is just as reliable as Ecas itself!!!

Congratulations! I know it's been long in coming for you!  OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! I just came on to post about how sad it is that there have been no PPRs lately, and then I spotted I had a new email. I went to look at it and IT'S MY PPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! I just ran around the room screaming and I'm still shaking! It took since February, but it's finally here! The text is as follows: Going to go read the links now and figure out what to do about photos, mailing, etc. I guess I got my Christmas wish!! Thank you Santa! |

No number. Just her signature, which is impossible to read. Oh well! I think we dealt with the same lady. Shoulder length blonde hair....early to mid 40's? |

Anyhow, I wonder how long one should wait for their PR card before contacting the CIC? I've been told a variety of things as far as waiting for the card is concerned -- 1 month, 3 months, 2-4 weeks.. crazy.
I landed Sept 13 and mine was in the mail on Halloween |
