Thank you so much for the information, friends! The last thing I want is to lose my PR while chasing my career ambitions. Having a career but staying without a place I can call home would be rather unfortunate.

Many thanks Leon. I guess it is probably going to be alright at the end, but certainly I will have few stressful years before I return to Canada.

Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can advise on the following situation. We (me and my spouse) have arrived to Canada in May 2007 as foreign workers, got our PR and landed in July 2010. Since then we live in Canada (although with frequent short trips abroad). I have recently accepted a job offer...

Dear PMM, are you sure? It can create very strange situations...Let's say a Canadian PR is abroad because his/her Canadian citizen partner got a job there...And let's say they are abroad for the last 5 years. One day a Canadian citizen comes home and informs the partner that they are not...

Dear friends, I have a question about a situation when someone is submitting his PR renewal application after accumulating 730 days in the last 5 years, but might not meet the residency obligations at the moment he/she collects the new PR card… Are they looking at your situation at the moment...

Thanks for sharing. Can I ask how you have crossed the border? Was it by air or by land? If by land, in a bus/train or in a private car?

Same here...landed on July 16th and no cards...my friend landed on July 17th and got his card end of August. I can't understand the logics behind all this but there is no other choice than waiting. I am wondering if its related to where we do the landing. My landing was in the airport, my friend...

Oh, thanks PMM and Leon for the information. :)

I may be wrong here...but it looks to me that according to what is written above, one can spend outside Canada 3 years, while his/her spouse is in Canada (thus, spouse met his/her residency obligation). Then, the spouse can join the person outside Canada and for next 3 years they are both fine...

Hi IT applicant, If DMP did some additional tests, he had to inform you about that. If he didnt, he probably didnt do any. Most probably in Ottawa they will agree with your DMP, but sometimes they can ask for additional tests and your DMP will have to perform them. Its a remote possibility - but...

Hey... It is most probably OK, but they might ask for some additional tests (for example blood test to monitor kidney function (creatinine) and/or more intensive urine test). Have your DMP tried to measure the BB again after you have rested for 10-15 min? That would be an appropriate thing to...

Lol...googleman... You got a kinky doctor :)

Well...first answer should be mine, I suppose :): 1-yes 2-yes 3-yes 4-yes 5-yes

Hi friends, There is a group of Buffalo applicants (mostly people who applied end of 2008-beginning of 2009) who got request for additional documents in the beginning of 2010 and nothing since then. The request was rather random (some people were asked to send tax returns, some proof of funds...

Congrats ADA! Those are great news but also sad news as well. Yet another family gave up on "Canadian dream" due to too long waiting times. Sometimes I think that Buffalo office makes it longer in purpose to encourage these kinds of scenarios.

lol...okshan819...you are actually walking all the time without glasses with 20/200 vision? I hope you dont drive like this :) They check Best Corrected Vision, which means what is the maximal vision that you can get with glasses or contacts. They dont care about how you see without glasses...

It looks like there is some movement recently. People who applied in Jan and Feb 2009 started to get some letters from CIC - mostly requests for additional documents though (including myself). But there are few applicants ontrackitt from jan 2009 who got their medicals. Things are moving...

I actually was thinking about taking bus as well for this purpose...My concern is that if you do landing while coming by bus...since the process takes some time, the other passengers in the bus will have to wait until you complete the process?? Thats my concern, but may be someone has some real...

Hi Caloy, Did they wait until you sentadditional documents or sent medicals before that?

I am in similar situation with Buffalo office...they asked to provide 2 police certificates and gave me 2 months for that (and sent me this letter just before Christmas vacations...). No way I am going to make it in 2 months period, so I will have to ask for extention. My lawyer, however, says...
