I got told I can cross by land via the States back into Canada with a signed COPR, however any other travel I would need my PR card...

I folded my forms because they didn't fit in the purse I was using when I travelled across the border (and it was a big purse!) There was no issues with it.

So I officially landed as a PR on Sunday!! Here's a little bit to how it went... I started in the States, I drove 3 hours with my American friend to the Ambassador Bridge border crossing. We waited in the line of cars to show our passports, I said I wanted to land as a PR so they directed me to...

Nah I don't think so, I am taking a copy just in case... Will update all with how my landing goes after the weekend. HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND! :D

Congrats michty6 - good to read you finally got yours! Border crossing for me on Sunday, a bit nervous, I don't know why, but exciting at the same time! Anything I need to take with me except the COPR, passport, B4 and marriage cert(well I have a copy of it)??

Not been on here for the past week or so, busy times!! Congrats to all those who got DM's and landed as PR's in the last couple of weeks! Michty I can't believe you are still waiting :( hopefully you will have a good story at the end of it??? Or maybe your COPR will just turn up randomly one...

Thanks Sweden and Rob_TO, that's reassuring to hear. I have been reading on the CIC site and it's not super clear. I'm thinking it might just get a bit confusing... Anyway I'm hoping to land in 2 weeks time, cross over at Windsor and then come back. Hoping nothing to crazy happens!!!

I think he means mailing it outside of Canada. I understand that it gets mailed to my husbands address about 4 weeks after I land. I have flown into Canada many many times and I have never had a problem with the airlines (mind you there's always a first for everything). They never normally...

So here's the next quesion - Do I apply for a PR card whilst landing at the border? Or do I have to apply for it as a seperate thing on my own? If I can do it whilst landing then it should arrive to my husbands address before May 19th as I am planning on landing on April 1st so he will be able...

My application is now done... Timeline is/was as follows Visa Office : London *visa exempt, no interview required, medical extension not granted Medicals completed : May 16th 2012 App filed : June 26th 2012 Sponsorship approved : October 26th 2012 In Process : January 24th 2013 Decision...

I'm British so I am visa exempt, I will just use my husbands address for the PR card. Hmm I didn't think about not having the PR card and re-entering, hopefully it will be fine, I have flown in and out of Canada before and the airlines have never asked me for anything. Surely...

Hello all, I have a slightly strange question, but I am hoping someone has had experience with this. I must land before May 16th, however my current job in the USA goes until May 19th and then they pay for my airfare home to Canada. I am close to the Detroit/Windsor border in a couple of weeks...

I had been wondering and searching for the same thing Woffles. I also have not seen my UK possessions for a good few years! The only stuff I have with me is 2 suitcases that I travel my life in for work!! I am hoping to get my UK stuff moved out to Canada.

Thanks DGT! Didn't realise all the info was with my COPR, my mum is just telling me what's in there now before she gets it to me! So my Decision Made was actually March 12th. Only 3 days difference, I bet it happened because I stopped checking ecas every day ;) lol

Thanks scottishmaple, sfeire and blueboom for the congrats! So my COPR has already been delivered, however after they emailed offering me an extension, my medical didn't get extended (even though I replied and asked if it could be) so now I have to work out how I can flagpole affordably in the...

Thanks Sweden, and thanks everyone for putting up with my questions and queries on here, and you are all so helpful!! Pass on the knowledge :) I actually know I will still be on here for a while longer with more questions and trying to help out where I can :D

OMG OMG OMG!!! DECISION MADE!!!! Can someone update the spreadsheet please?!?!?!? THANK YOU!!! I actually don't know when my ecas was updated as since they were extending my medical from the email they sent me at the beginning of the week I figured it would take a couple of weeks to update so...

Thanks scottishmaple, think it means that this whole thing is nearly over for us now. Yeah after discussing with my hubby we decided to ask for the extension, it just takes a little bit of pressure off trying to work out how to land whilst travelling and working week to week! My last day at my...

Does it take a long time to hear back if the extension is granted? By the sounds of it they are close to finishing my application!

So I am having a bit of a dilemma.... I heard from CIC (YAY!!!! ;D ) and they are ready to start finalising my application, however they have offered to extend my medical results. My medicals run out in May, 3 days BEFORE my last day at work and free flight home to Edmonton (typical - of...
