superboy,

Today I received the PR card for my hubby, but missing mine and my kids, I don't know why? is it normal that that they send separately?

Sept15, my friend my card has been received and I am done for now, next step citizenship. I am about to make a final decision on not to proceed with US PR process, my oldest son does not want to go to US, and neither my youngest one. My wife and I have talked about it and we are about to make a final decision.

Hi, guys, i have a question for you all. I got the ontario pnp certificate today, however, it stamped with a word " copy", I phoned pnp office ontario, they say this is orginal certificate, i am confused how come the orginal certificate stamped with "copy"?????
Mine was similar with the stamp "COPY" in blue. At first, I was bit confused seeing that.
But I did not bother to call anyone. I followed the directions provided with the letter from PNP. You probably have to send this original PNP certificate (which has "COPY" mark) to CIC. Just make sure that you photocopy everything you are sending out.

Nothing to worry, they will ask you to pay once your Medical/AOR is done.

for everyone:
I got refered by someone that you are very knowledgeable with Immigration issues. I need your advice.
I am currently employed as NOC code 2132( highly skilled), but I am working on a open post grad work permit. I was recently able to get my vise a visitor visas; she is coming here next week.
Now can she apply for an open work permit based on my current ssituation at port of entry? She can prove them that I have a skilled job by showing my company letter that I wrote to CIC for issuing her the visas. I can also show them my PNP certificate which clearly states that I am a mechanical engineer- NOC 2132.
Based on current situation I need your advice. It would be helpful if you can reply to this answer quickly cz she would be flying in a week now and I am still getting all the mixed answers.

Regards,
SAM

Hello Superboy,

My name is Anu, I need some valuable information from your end. Can you please reply to all my Questions. I would really greatful for a quick response from your end.

We got nominated from Alberta on 4th April 2011 and submitted all the required docs and check to Buffalo's CIC on May 9th 2011. However till now we have not received any response from them.

I just want to know few things like:

1) How much time CIC Buffalo took for you to respond after you submitted your PNP certification and other documents to them?
2) Do you know what is the current time Buffalo CIC is taking to go through the files and to respond?
2) Once you get response from them then how procedure goes on?
3) What is AOR means?
4) Everyone says File Transfer, what is that exactly means?

I'm really sorry to bother you with too many questions, but I'm very new to Canadian Immigration and I had applied to AINP all by myself. Now with CIC I'm finding some issues with their timelines and responses.

Appreciate if you help me with your experience.
