thank you Leon I can now go ahead and book flight.

Dear all, I am currently living in Canada. I got my PR in May 2009. I had two trips to US since then. I stayed in US for a total of 8 days. I heard from my aunt that I cannot go to my home country (HONG KONG) during the first two years of landing. US is the only exception. She said my...

I land by crossing Niagara border. I tried to land on Canada side, but the officer told me I need to go to the US side. So I went, and the US officer gave me a paper saying I left US. I took that paper back Canada, and they do my landing. It's actually kind of stupid.. but that's the rule.

If you got passport request, submit and wait for return, which takes 3 weeks unless you go to Consulate in person. Once visa is affixed on passport, you can land in any port of entry. I believe you can land at the airport. The only requirement is you need to be out of Canada and then enter...

Do you mean the time to wait for medical request or the time between doing medical test and finalizing the case?

When you have passport request, you can mail by courier and provide return envelope, or you can go to Buffalo (if you apply from Canada). I don't think you can go to port of entry. I applied to buffalo office, it took around 1 year to complete.

I am on work permit, and I got my health card.. no health premium, except when you filed tax, if your income bracket is higher than certain level, you pay Ontario Health Premium at that time. Actually Ontario is the province that penalize high income bracket. Other provinces just have a flat...

Yes, I am having one starting with 9. And what should I bring to landing? the essential documents said I need to bring immigration visa and passport. This is for sure. but things like two copies of a detailed list of all personal or houshold items you are bringing with you, and two copies of...

Does any body know if I can walk through Whirlpool Rapids Bridge to land? I am planning to take Greyhound to Niagara and the greyhound station is very close to that bridge. Is there a port of entry on every bridge? Do they open 24 hours?

actually it is, but after so much waiting and there's another waiting, it's just tough.. anyways, thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for all replies. Ms. Ling, I am in Toronto. That's what I am thinking. Going to Niagara, pass through the border, then come back. Original, I thought getting inside Canada is much faster, but if it's not, I will just go to the port. I should have gone to Buffalo to get...

Sorry, my mistake. As I read closely, it actually is Jan 5, 2010. It reads "05/01/2010". So, I only have 7 months. Yes, you are right. I did my medical around Jan 5, 2009. So do I need to land first before I get new SIN card or no? Thank you.

It expires in May 1, 2010. So I still have 1 year. If that's the case, Can I get the SIN card with the visa alone? Thanks a lot Dave

Hello, My PR status is as follows: I sent my passport to affix the PR visa, and got it back today. My current work permit expires June 1, 2009. My company is extending my work permit, but they said there's rule change this year. They may need extra time to prepare it. It might not make...

How do you know when the medical reach Ottawa? Did you get a letter from the government? OR did the doctor notify you?

Thank you for the reply. I called a police station, they said that I have to go to a commissionaire. There is one on 15 Toronto Street. Just bring passport and work permit. http://www.commissionaires.ca/offices/toronto.html

Does anyone know how I can get a certified fingerprint in Toronto? I am required to get police clearance from Hong Kong, but I am in Toronto right now. Hong Kong police website says I can apply from overseas, but need a certified fingerprint from a recognized and official police office...

File date Oct 7 AOR received Oct 20, with interview waiver. etc.. Does it mean we can get PR within 1 month of date of application?? That's faster than the process of work permit!! Am I correct?

So does anyone have any idea about the processing time under the CEC?
