I found this on another forum: In Section 5.1 of the Foreign Workers Guide, they explain what is not considered to be work for purposes of having to be issued a work permit: What kind of activities are not considered to be work? • An activity which does not really ‘take away' from opportunities...

I didn't see where they stated a closing date, so maybe they will still be processing for a while. I just made contact with them last week so I assume they are still there. This definitely doesn't sound like its going to help processing times out any though, I think since you are close to the...

I think this is a problem with the government not thoroughly vetting visitor status cases unless she was staying illegally. Visitor extensions are typically only granted for 6 month increments if you don't have a PR application in process. Theres no way she got enough extensions to have 5 kids...

Landed today, everything was pretty smooth, my story is below: Left Toronto at 9:30 am, got to Niagara about 11:00 am or so, I didn't really check. At this point we followed the parking signs which led us all the way past the rainbow bridge and up more towards where the falls/hotels are. I...

Mine reached the office April 26th and I just got it back today just for reference.

Thanks, I have all of that ready to go now. This whole process has made me extremely paranoid about missing small details so its helpful to confirm that I didn't miss anything. Going to land tomorrow, hope everyone follows me soon, we all have had to wait way too long for this. :)

You need the form notorized by a commissioner of oaths, if you are in a big city you can get this done for 15 dollars or so. If you don't include the form you may see a delay because they will likely request it like they did in my case. I had no cosigner and they still wanted it. Better safe...

There is supposed to be a preference for rich and wealthy in these categories. The parents and especially grandparents are too old to pay enough into the system to counter what they will drain in coming years. End of life treatment is the most expensive of all and the tax payers are funding...

We paper clipped documents together in applicant, sponsor, sponsor proofs, and applicant proofs. We then sectioned them using colored separators. Photos went in their own packet. We basically bundled the separate checklists together.

What all documents should I bring to land? I dont have any possessions landing with me and only a few to follow so I know I need a b4a, but what else?

17 business days since my PPR was received by Fort Erie, no activation on tracking yet. They are really going to drag this out. :-[

Status changed from "in progress" to "decision made" on Monday at 5:30 am. Anyone had any experiences on how long it takes to get your COPR back after this change? I attempted to search, but it really doesn't get me any results.

I'd actually advise against getting a lawyer unless your case is extremely complicated or may have red flags. We missed a document, declaration of common law, just because the instructions are sloppy and only ask for it if you have a cosigner. Other than that the instructions are pretty straight...

Congrats mine arrived at fort Erie on the 26th I'm still waiting. Already spoke with my work though and have paperwork ready. Gonna be good to go back to work finally.

I setup a bank account with RBC with my temp SIN and passport only when I arrived with my work permit.

I didn't motorize anything except the stat declaration of common law, waiting for my copr now.

You can work on implied status, so as long as they don't process your app you are fine. The moment you get a refusal or they accidentally process it you would have 90 days to restore status as visitor. Also send in the statutory declaration of common law, they requested mine later and I am...

Anyone from in Canada have any time lines from date passport pages were sent to copr? Is it ever faster than 15 business days? My passport pages were in Fort Erie in the morning on Thursday of last week.

Yes, hopefully yours and everyone elses comes through soon. My strategy was just to go about life as normal until it came. The less you think about it the better. Thanks everyone else for the well wishes. I will post up my landing experience. I already have my photos and passport copies...

Ppr!! Anyone know if we can still drive to Buffalo and have this processed same.day instead of sending it in? Edit never mind was too excited to actually read it says it must be submitted by mail.
