Hi guys, This week we've opened our Personal Deposit Account with RBC (Royal Bank of Canada). We haven't landed yet, but wanted to start transferring our reserves before then. Has anyone had any experience with transferring funds from outside Canada to this type of account? As far as I can...

Guys, thank you all so much. PPR mail has just arrived! AOR 06/01, FSW-O. A great week so far for us SPVO folks! Yours is coming!

Hi pplupo. We're also planning on landing with our pets (1 dog and 1 cat). We managed it via VRBO (https://www.vrbo.com). You can try to filter places that are "pet-friendly", but I suggest doing it ASAP because these spots get taken up FAST!

Legalfalcon, thanks again for all the helpful information. Just received my GCMS notes yesterday. The "Date generated" field shows 2017/04/25. The last Agent review comments are dated 2017/02/02, showing that A11.2 has been met. So it seems that there has been no update from February to late...

Ah ok..then yeah, going by the "Paper File Transfer History" section, the last record from 2017/02/03 still shows "Centralized Intake Office".

Hmm...don't know...some logs say "Centralized Intake Office", others read "Sao Paulo". Were you looking in the "ACTIVITY" section? Most of that section is blank for me also. Actually, I just noticed the "section 16(1)(c)" stamp on the upper right corner. Might be a standard thing. Maybe...

Feeling very hopeful for a PPR, or at least BG change this week!:)

Hi axolotl, thanks for the great post. I was wondering what the typical duties for a data scientist are over there, if you don't mind me asking. I just finished my Master's in Applied CS also, and since it's kind of a catch-all term it'd be nice to know if it means the same there as it does here.

Same thing - AOR jan 6th.

That's what I thought too! But I never do anything besides opening the page long enough to see if the BG status has changed. So I don't think it's anything on my end that's doing it...

The "Date Read" column for my "Acknowledgement of receipt" message was just updated. Is this good? I guess anything new is good, after all it was stuck on the same date since March 28th :p

BG still in 'NA' but the "Date Read" field just updated to May 5th. Either they're finally working on my file or the GCS notes request landed on somebody's desk. At least they're looking at it :P

It seems like they are taking their sweet time, but if we look at the stats there are apparently a *lot* more cases starting in jan/17. As per the consolidated tracker: Nov/16: 120 total / 108 PPR (90% done) Dec/16: 145 total / 93 PPR (64% done) Jan/17: 350 total / 141 PPR (40% done) Fev/17...
