    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    Mine is in the same stage. From what I can tell (reading other peoples' updates), you will receive a message saying your card is being sent. Not sure if there are updates between this point and hearing it's been mailed.

    How to track Number of Days stayed in Canada

    It's almost like you're talking about me! 30 mins to the border, SO many day trips to Ship Happens in Sumas. Just starting the process now. I presume it has to be 100% accurate too. Is there a way to request the info from CBSA? Surely they know!

Mine arrived today, exactly 6 weeks from...

    Using COPR to reenter Canada from the US

    Hi all, Received my COPR a couple of weeks back. When landing I asked the officer if I were to fly out of Canada to the US for a 2 week vacation before they send my PR card out, what do I need to do. (Expecting him to say apply for a PRTD once in the US) he said I can use my COPR until my PR...

    Visitors Visa Extension

    When I applied online I was told by a very kind CBSA officer to apply 3 days before your current status expires. Buys you more time. Processing time when I did mine was 3.5 months. This basically meant I got my IEC visa before they even made a decision on my visitor status. Maybe don't leave...
