    Renewing PR online - Date you became a PR in Canada

    Problem solved. It crossed my mind that this could simply be a case of "BTW, make sure that you have calculated your dates", rather than "the system has detected an error", which is what the symbol looks like. So I entered my dates of being away and sure enough I have been given the option to...

    Renewing PR online - Date you became a PR in Canada

    Mine is definitely my PR date, from 2010, on my PR card. System glitch then.

    Renewing PR online - Date you became a PR in Canada

    I have just had the same appear on my online application just now: "Please review the date you entered in response to “1.4 Date you became a PR in Canada” on page 1 of this form. This date must be accurate before proceeding with the rest of the form." I've entered the date on my PR card, gone...

    Cellular Data Plans

    They are through Rogers and I found them to be very slow with data, hence going back to Koodo. I read a review saying that although Rogers made some advertising claim about their network, suggesting they were super fast, it was not the case... and if you read what they wrote, it didn’t...

    Cellular Data Plans

    I’ve used Virgin, then Koodo, then Fido, now I’m back with Koodo - they have had the best overall experience for me. Koodo often have ‘sales’ by adding a couple of gig of data to their plans every now and again, but location makes a difference - the geography of your network as well as the...

    UK and Canada state pension question.

    I lived in Canada for two years in the past and didn’t contribute back in the UK, so I know that my pension will reduce. I also know that UK does not index link your pension if you live in Canada, although they do if you live in the US. Now I'm back in Canada for two years since PR and I can...

    Scotiabank - Funds transfer before landing

    I used this Scotiabank program when I moved from the UK in 2016 and it became a fiasco. The branch had no idea of what it was, had to contact Toronto, who couldn’t find the transaction and evetually after two weeks it was put through with a foreign investment account. All sorted since, but not...

    Permanent Resident Renewal Timeline 2018

    I'm guessing that mine is such an unusual case that they had to pass it on to somewhere special. Think about it, COPR in 2010, never applied for a PR card until now and had a work permit in between times through bad advice. It HAD to go to a supervisor or other department that needed special...

    Hi Leazy, Thought it would, but having just checked today (4th Feb 2019) my PR card has been approved :D

    Permanent Resident Renewal Timeline 2018

    My application was received 6th December and processing began January 15th. My application will be WAY different though. Long story short: PR in 2010, didn't get a PR card at the time, didn't come back as thought I'd lost PR, returned on a work permit in 2016, then found out hadn't lost PR...

    PR expired in 2006: Can it be reinstated?

    How easy a process is this and are there any negatives to consider?

    PR expired in 2006: Can it be reinstated?

    Thank you both above. scylla: I am on my TWP for two years, not on PR. I have an LMIA approved job with a physical work permit and am working in Canada. Leon: Thank you for the reassurance. It's certainly interesting that they gave me a TWP as it's all the same details that I provided...
