    Receiving first PR card after landing

    Apologies if there's a separate thread for this already. According to the IRCC website it currently takes just over 30 days to receive PR card after landing (FSW-O). Is this accurate? Anyone who landed in April can confirm this? Also, are there any email updates sent out when the card is...

    Landing experience - Vancouver (YVR) April 2023

    In short - smooth, easy, and pretty quick :) I arrived in Vancouver on a flight on Sunday evening (5:30pm). Direct flight from the UK, traveling with my wife and 2 cats. The airport was VERY quiet. I expected it to be much busier on a Sunday evening. I don't know if this is normal or if we were...

    Proof of Funds - recently added to my spouse's account

    I'm the main applicant and my wife is added as a dependant to my application. Most of the money we will be using as PoF is in an account in her name. I've been literally just added to this account so I can get current statement printed out with both our names but all past statements are in her...

    Questions re LoE and Proof of Funds

    Hi everyone, It's my first post here but I've been following this forum for a while. I got ITA (FSW-O) in the last draw (finally! after spending 10 months learning French and then waiting for FSW to be resumed) and I have a couple of questions. LoE - do I need to submit just one including all...
