Hi All! I have a (slightly blonde) question but I need to ask just to make sure - Im living in England with my canadian husband - he is sponsoring me for perminent residency - am I correct in thinking the full application has to be sent to the Canadian High Commission in London? It is just we had a friend call the helpline in Canada about something else and the man on the phone said it all had to be sent to Canada?!! Im thinking as we both live in England, it should go to London right? Thanks guys!!  |

the application should first be sent to mississauga, this is for the sponsership part, once the sponsership is approved, it will then be sent to your visa office, in your case london |

What happens when you land? And who do you need to tell about your plans for landing?
My passport was requested yesterday -and I sent it off immediately - but the email said that I have to land by a specific date in February or I'll have to start the process all over again(My medical runs out on that date). But how long does the actual perminent residence last if you land before or on the specified date?
Surely I won't have to apply/pay for a new permanent residence right away?
I thought it lasted as long as one's passport?

Anna McG, you send everything to Mississauga ON where they will assess your husband as a sponsor. Once he is approved, they will forward the application on to London where they assess you for permanent residency.
Lyx, congrats on the PPR! You have 1 year from the date of your medicals to land (or until your passport expires, whichever comes first) If you havent landed within this time then yes you will have to start over. It doesnt matter when you land as long as its before the expiry date.
My PR card is valid until May 2016 (Passport is good until 2018 and I landed in April 2011 so not sure why 5 years 1 month...) When your PR card expires you must apply for a new one to retain the PR status.
To keep permanent resident status you have to live in canada for 2 out of every 5 years.
I hope that helps!

It does help a lot thanks I know this sounds weird because I should've been prepared for all of this, but I am actually not sure I'll be able to get all my s**t together by then (house, quitting job and what not). So I am kinda hoping to 'land' and then go back from whence I came to sort out some stuff. Hope that's possible?! Maybe this is helpful to some people out there starting the process, but this has all gone a lot faster than I thought |

Hi
Am from July group, got first stage approval on the 8th of September, after sending file in on the 5th of July, going through London, if you want to add me to the spread sheet.

Should I be bothered that I still haven't heard anything more since I got sponsorship approval on August 17?
In e-cas it says under "Permanent residence application status":
"We received XXXXXXXXX's application for permanent residence on June 27, 2011."
Under "Sponsorship application status" it says:
"We received your application to sponsor XXXXXX on June 27, 2011.
We started processing your application on August 17, 2011.
We sent you a letter on August 17, 2011 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us."
That's it. Should I just assume that it has arrived in London and that they just haven't updated e-cas, or is there any cause for concern with regards to my application getting delivered there? Any input would be appreciated as I'm getting worried.

Just a quick question. Medicals, I made an appointmnt in BC with a doctor on monday, but am not entirely ready with all documents yet....would it be better to wait, or would it be ok to get the medicals over with ? In other words, how long are the medicals good for ? I've seen a lot of different times on that.
Thanks

Hey there - You have to LAND within ONE YEAR of your medical. If your visa office is London and you're applying OUTLAND (as this title thread suggests), you have plenty of time. As long as you're ready in say up to 2 months from now. Just a quick question. Medicals, I made an appointmnt in BC with a doctor on monday, but am not entirely ready with all documents yet....would it be better to wait, or would it be ok to get the medicals over with ? In other words, how long are the medicals good for ? I've seen a lot of different times on that.
Thanks

Make sure you apply for your police certificate, that can take a little longer to arrive, especially if you're having it sent to canada. You should have enough time, but read over the document checklists so you have a good idea of what you need. |
