there's supposedly a 30 day grace period, but you should update your SIN asap. And let the bank know about your new status, and also health insurance!

Hey guys! So after talking to the third CIC officer over the phone, and sending an email as well, I have this information to share with anybody who might face the same situation in the future: 1) Via email I was told that my PR card was being processed and that my status was confirmed as a PR...

Yikes. My work permit expires in 3 months. Did you get your PR card okay, or was that delayed because of this issue as well?

Oh that's what I mean - Service Canada didn't let me get a sin. Sorry if I was unclear.

They didn't let me get a sin unfortunately. I got on the phone with the CIC and they asked me to wait until the 26th before I call back. My ECAS hasn't updated yet, but I imagine it'll be a few business days anyway. I'm wondering if I should drive down to the border again and ask there...

got it, thanks. Any clue about 'Became PR On' ?

Hi guys, I just did my landing yesterday, and after a 5 hour wait and tired eyes it looks like I missed some things. The lady that processed my landing didn't fill the date in under "Became P.R. On" on my COPR that she gave me. The paper is signed, so there are dates on the document, but...

Whoops! Yes, thanks.

My 2 cents - when I noticed things were taking a long time to update on ECAS, or for me to get a confirmation email, I simply sent an email to the CIC asking to make sure everything was okay. The first time, I got a reply that pointed out an email with requested documents that I had never...

Well, here's my timeline updated - Sep 12, 2014 - Application Received Jan 29, 2015 - AOR date Feb 13, 2016 - Upfront RPRF Feb 23, 2016 - Medical Request Feb 23, 2016 - NOA/T4/Pay Stubs Requested Mar 02, 2016 - Medicals Done Mar 11, 2016 - NOA/T4/Pay Stubs Submitted Mar 15, 2016 - Medicals...

They received mine on March 22, and I got it back on April 4. Though I'm not waiting, I thought I'd let people know in case there's somebody out there calculating average time or something.

Perfect, thanks! =)

Hi all! I applied for a PR from within Canada under the old, pre-EE system. I finally got my ready for visa email earlier this week, but I'm a little confused about how I should send my passport and documents over. The email says to: Does that mean it has to be regular mail? Can I send it...

Thanks! Correct, I'm from India - I need a visa - and I applied from within Canada (Toronto, specifically).

I hope it's okay to ask this question here - can we send our passports to the CIC with a courier? Or does it have to be regular mail? If we can courier, is it to the same PO Box: CPC – Ottawa – PR PO Box 9780 Ottawa ON K1G 4B9 ? Thanks!
