You will need to book an appointment for that and might... might have to wait longer and I am 120% sure that you cannot/do not want to do that...

CONGRATULATIONS.

yes, i guess so, otherwise a lot of people will do that in border.

one more question, it asks us to provide bank statement, financial proof, how about 3 months record of the bank statement, is it enough?

Hubby tried to do that but the call centre said the earliest available spot for him to do his landing is after 2 months. So he just drove to the border.

So when do you plan to land, 4mfamily. Do educate us on your experience especially photo requirements, filling forms, etc? Good Luck.

Hey,

We, the loyal inhabitants, of this Forum under the leadership of WinnipegMB, have received that letter in November 2010 and by last week of February and beginning of March 2011, we started received PPR - Say 3 or 4 months after that letter - Its called 'Initial Assessment Letter'.

ANother way of looking at it is - You should be receiving your PPR on FIrst YEar Anniversary of the Initial submission of your Application to Buffalo.

Thanks
