At the end he said there wasn't any contradiction on my answers and he was approving my application. I should wait for an email with further instructions. Asked if I had any trips planed for the next 3-4 months. If I did, they would send me a different set of instructions. The end

Received an email on May 16th, the confirmation for a landing appointment at the Etobicoke office on May 22nd.

Hey @mamiojo : That seemed like a very detailed conversation. Glad the wait is over now.
By the way, best wishes to you for completing your 'landing' today!
Do let us know your experience. Will be really helpful to everyone here.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I paid rprf upfront. Case stairs was :” We are processing .....”. Hope this helps

No problem

I share your preference regarding those private app groups; I prefer the public discussion in forum threads, which I feel are more detailed and easier to access.
I found this thread by @RookieMistake to be very helpful. He landed in Toronto but it could still be of use even if you're landing in a difference province.

I'm on the lookout for other threads in the Settlement Issues forum.

Yes, I have been reading this thread by @RookieMistake since the time I got my PPR! Clarity increases every time I read it.
I will also be landing in Toronto. So, this is a good reference point for landing.
I also found this thread by @qorax : https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...landing-in-canada-all-you-need-to-know.36735/
Kind of old, but still relevant with the discussions of recently landed PRs.

By the way, there is also a tracker for the passport processing, in case anyone is interested (it's a short wait anyway, or should be at least )
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/passport-processing-tracker

Yup, keeping my case updated on it. But very few people use this tracker, so it is difficult to get a good estimate of the number of days taken by each VO to return Passport and COPR.
I guess people get busy once they receive PPR

Just landed at the Etobicoke office. After they called my number (despite having a time set to be there, they give you a number upon arrival), it took me 15 min to complete the landing and get a new SIN.

3 questions asked:

- Are you married and have any children?

- Have you ever been convicted of any offense in Canada or any other country?

- Have you ever been deported from any country?

After answering these questions I received the CoPR and heard the sweetest statement I've heard in a long time:

Congratulations, you're now a Permanent Resident of Canada!

Thank you everyone in this forum who helped me, either with providing guidance, sharing your own experience or being there in support! I'll never forget you guys. You were part of my journey!

If anybody has any questions, ask away. I'd be more than happy to share my knowledge/experience.

* 8 to 10 weeks to receive PR card, as per the agent who issued my CoPR

Mine just changed and the PP is on its way for collection!!
Did your account contain any new messages? Mine doesn't show any new messages; just that the status has changed to what you have shared above.

 

[NoCanDoIt]

My final timeline appears like so:

AoR: December 21, 2017
PPR: May 11, 2018
Submission of passport to local VO: May 15, 2018
Approval (on account) and PP dispatch (CoPR): May 22, 2018

Will collect the CoPR tomorrow and book my first landing ASAP.

Luckily, my entire "journey" was smooth. No ADR, no phone calls. Very fortunately, my entire application, along with the FBI PCC, was complete and RPRF paid at AoR. I just had to wait the 4.5 months out. Sincere thanks to this community for all the sharing they do.

I'll post my landing experience in a few months, and continue to monitor/help out folks on this thread for the near future as best I can.

Good luck for the rest who are still waiting. It'll come soon -- just be patient.

I always receive acknowledgement/confirmation on the same day, but then again all my notes were ordered through CAIPS GCM. I'm guessing it depends on their workload or their available resources.



Have not had this issue personally, so I'm not certain about the waiting period. However, it's good that you're being proactive and sending them the info before they even ask for it, as it could save you time. I'm assuming they didn't request it and you sent it based on the notes, right?

No, I sent it in even before ordering the notes. I sent the letter in January, ordered my notes in March.
Wonder what is taking them so long to make a decision.

Wow, can't wait to hear that wonderful statement. So, just the basic questions at the time of landing, then.
Hmmm, 8 to 10 weeks! I am just waiting for my COPR and PP to be returned in order to plan my landing so that I get my PR Card ASAP.
Thanks @mamiojo for sharing your landing experience!
