Good Luck! It is really not that bad. The agents are friendly. Took me a total of 20 minutes to exit/enter Canada. :)

Just came back from my landing. I am officially a Canadian Permanent Resident now. It was a long journey!! Both for PR and the drive to the border ;D

Just got my CoPR with my passport back :P It took 8 days to process and about 3 days in total transit in mail. Gonna flagpole the border tomorrow around noon!

Mine is out for delivery right now. Will be receiving it any minute. Gonna flagpole tomorrow

Not counting the Weekends they flipped my passport in exactly 8 business days

My return tracker got activated. Expecting passport back on Monday. Renting a convertible Mustang to hit up the Coutts border crossing from Calgary. Will be back just in time for the celebration party/BBQ at my friend's. :P

There is something else going on since I work between 35 to 40 hours a week on average and got my AINP. That being said, if they have any cause for concern they usually give your employer a call to clarify things rather than automatically reject an application. :-X

You assume I just mailed the passport? :P After waiting 9 months I wasn't gonna wait another week. I sent it in an overnight delivery envelope with an enclosed overnight delivery envelope 8) Inception!

Anyone know what the average processing time is for stamping our passports after PPR? ::)

Nope but I know of at least 3 or 4 cases where they added the spouse as an inland applicant when the spouse lives abroad. I hate that process! Canada is good enough in terms of processing time but embassies in other countries take their sweet time to process it. The quickest process I have seen...
