An update for all you March applications out there...

Today I received my card in the mail at exactly 111 days since I applied. It was a long wait!

I never received any confirmation that they were processing my application or that they had mailed it out. So don’t give up hope even if you don’t hear from them!

Dear experts,

I landed to Canada on 21st July 2016 as a permanent resident for the first time and stayed over there for 45 days and then flew back to the country of my residence. Meanwhile, I was in my country of residence, I renewed my passport as well. Since then, I haven't travelled back to Canada. But I am planning to fly back in the beginning of August 2018. My PR card is getting expired in the third week of August 2021.

In the view of the above scenario , I have the following queries:

1) Am I safe in terms of the residency obligations ? Since, I didn't visit Canada for around 2 consecutive years ?
2) This time , I'll be having my renewed passport along with my PR card. Is it okay as well , since I didn't inform to CIC regarding my passport renewal.

Kindly advice.

1. No, you did not meet residency obligations. To meet residency obligation you need to live in Canada for 2 years in the past 5 years. You were here for 45 days.
2. You should be fine, bring with you your old passport if you can

What do you mean that I did not meet the residency obligation ? I said I was there for 45 days and I am moving permanently in the next month; whereas my PR card expires in Aug 2021. So how can you say this ?

Usually they don’t mail to you because due to live outside Canada all the time.

As for the letter. Basically they want to see your information again, so whatever the information you send to them you must had a copy in hand at the interview.

After the interview they just give you the card

I didn't get the point. My question is that why some people receive by mail and some should pick up. What is the criteria?
I read somewhere that just for quality service check they choose randomly some applications for pick up. Is it correct?
Thanks
