I had 2 NOC codes - I really only used one to support my application and I could justify the 12 months of employment with it. My other job is freelance, so its a little more difficult to prove as I am self employed.

darn it, I should have gone to Peace, they had ran out of Canadian flags at Pacific. I wanted a flag LOL!

I landed yesterday at the Pacific Crossing. I went over the border to do some shopping and when I came back the wait was less at Pacific than Peace so I went that way. It's fairly uneventful. You have to go inside to be processed, they ask if the info on the COPR is correct. Ask a couple more...

My COPR arrived in the mail yesterday! Dated January 30, and recieved Feb 7 in Vancouver. Today seems like a nice day to become a Canadian Resident. Going to land down at Peace Arch!

AWESOME !!!! congrats!! :D :D :D

Congrats! Looks like doing upfront medical may have expedited your application a little. My timeline is very similar to you, now in the waiting stages for COPR :)

Just checked ecas and status is now Decision Made!!

not sure who maintains our April 2013 spreadsheet, but should we put in a column for 'Decision Made' date? I would be curious to see the timelines on this from when medicals have been received.

woohoo!!

so not everyone gets a Passport Request? Was wondering about that - I am also from a visa-exempt country.

hooray!!

yikes that is cheap. I just got my MR done by Dr Ciszak in Vancouver BC - $176 was his fee ONLY, then $60 for blood work and $55 for x-ray.... The Doctor spent less than 4 minutes with me and his admin did everything else. Report was done quickly though and it was emailed to me 3 business days...

oh good to know! Thanks :) And congrats on the PR !!

Congrats Kaytea, Can I ask why the US did a refusal of entry? I would be concerned to have that recorded on my passport. My boyfriend has been refused entry before and they interrogate him every time he crosses into US now.

both ! I was out of Canada for the whole of December and only just back now. Medical set up for Jan 16.
