    Hello all, I hope your applications go as smoothly and easily as it was for me. I completed my landing yesterday at YVR (Vancouver), coming directly from Paris, France. Process is extremely easy and you follow instructions. It lasted a long time, not the process itself but the waiting lines...

    Hello there, It's always copies (like proper photocopies, or scans), not notarized copies, or originals. Of course if you can get originals, it's better. But i guess copies is enough.

    that's what i did, and with my bad luck, i see that my mail have been delivered with the tracking number, but i received no notice of reception (still waiting for the "accusé de réception")... The thing is that there is a 30-day period that is decisive... I admit this stresses me out.

    No, it doesn't say Approved yet. and i still didn't receive my Advice/Notice of Receipt.

    By the way i slightly changed the file to avoid errors (calculating averages for example), and sorted it by stage. Most advanced stage is on top, then by dates of same stage, then by username if it's the same stages and the same dates.

    May I advise you to try to use different PDF viewers? You have Adobe Acrobat Reader, Foxit PDF Reader, and others here: http://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-reader/ Try those first two: some of them refused to validate in one and did it properly in the other... Same for edition...
