There has been a slight delay with getting the PR cards out....mine took about 8 weeks after landing. Worth bearing in mind that the COPR cannot be used as a travel doc or guarantee right of entry. I'm from the UK and I had to return to the UK after landing. I then came back to Canada before...

The average time for PR card is 4-6 weeks. I'm still waiting 8 weeks later. New style of card being issued.

I had to return to UK after landing and now need to return to Canada.......got a travel doc at the London office.

Hi, just wanted to see if anybody else was waiting for their PR card since landing. It has now been over 6 weeks......is there an escalation process or do I just sit and wait?

Looks like these applications get authorised on the day in London (that's what I understand from the website although it is not that clear). Anybody have experience of applying for 'Applying for a travel document (Permanent Resident Abroad)?

Congratulations Mike!

PMM - is this still the case for someone travelling from a country where there is a visa waiver agreement inplace, e.g. UK? I have achieved my PR status but had to return to the UK shortly afterwards. I am now ready to return to Canada but my PR card has not yet been posted out. Do I have to...

No, they just want to know how much cash you have on you. I'm sure he will have a few dollars! I landed from the UK a couple of weeks ago but have also had to return to finalise the house sale. It's a great experience!

THanks. I am moving from UK but likley to continue to work for the same company. Will I be employed under UK or Canadian legislation. We have the company lawyers looking into it......I'm just trying to get ahead of the game! Do you know of any good sites for this?

Hi - I have just been approved for pr and my company wants to keep me working for them when I move (my work is done online). What are the implications for my company/me in terms of employment regulations/costs? Thanks.

Mike - congratulations.....I have just been approved through London too. Bear in mind that for the two week service (to get the visa) you have to take it in person and pick it up (or nominate someone to), two weeks later. Posting it can take longer. I would delay and then land in 3 weeks'...

I plan to land next month, stay for a few weeks and then return to UK before moving permanently to Canada later this year. How does this affect the goods I want to ship across. Do they have to be in transit when I land or can I list now what I am going to take with me and despatch them at a...

Will you not be registered as a director or similar and be taking a part share of the profits as income?

I agree, but you can also see how long the initial assessment is currently taking too. The average is around 40 days for the in-Canada part.

The sponsor will normally receive a letter to confirm eligibility (if all ok!). This will have a file number which you can use to track your case online through ecas.

Wow.....got my e-mail today too! Four months through London......that's pretty good!

Congratulations! I got an ecas update yesterday saying that they have sent me a letter and decision has been made. Yours was done so quickly!

Just thought I would share that my ecas status has changed to 'Decision Made.' This is the first update since the start of March when London started processing my application (outland spousal). Also states 'medical results received' and that I will be notified in writing of the decision. I...

Mike - I've been twice since my application has been in process (outland via London) and on both occasions I had less questions than when I normally visit. I took all the information that you have listed just in case, but I was never asked for it. I just said I was visiting my wife etc.

Hi.....I am waiting on London too. Has been showing in process since the middle of March and no AOR or any other update/requests since. Hoping to hear something soon!
