I arrived in Canada in 2008 as an International Student and did my entire undergraduate degree here and in 2011 when I graduated I changed to a post-grad work permit, I immediately got a job and on January 2014 I got my permanent residency (my application for PR was affected by several strikes...

It used to be that time spent in Canada working before obtaining Permanent Residency also counted towards the requirement for Citizenship (I believe each day as a worker counted as half a day towards the minimum days goal). Under those conditions I would have been eligible in January 2016, now...

If I land this Saturday can I expedite the arrival of my PR card so that I get it before 4 weeks? That would be ideal.

If I apply for the PR card now from within Canada will they cancel my work permit and w1 visa?

It would be a plane travel.

Hey guys, I have received my COPR 2 weeks ago, I haven't landed yet because I'm planing a trip in 4 weeks and I thought I would just land at the airport on my back back into Canada. That was fine but a new issue came up. Shortly after landing in Canada I will need to go to the US for a business...

Hey Everyone, Yesterday I received an email with the title "Ready for Visa Letter", it asks for my passport and 2 recent pictures! My e-cas status still shows "medicals received". I already paid for the RPRF and sent bio data a while ago. Does this mean that my application was approved?

Can you do everything that is needed in Dr. Martin Taylor's location? X-ray, blood work, whatever they will ask me? Thanks.

I also got MR, Biodata and RPRF on Oct 4th, 2013, yesterday! I'm very relieved. I'm in Toronto, now I have to search the forum for the fastest doctor in or around Toronto, ON. Thanks.

Hey, in 3 days it's gonna be 1 year and all I have in e-cas is "Application Received on Sep 17, 2012". At this point should I be contacting CIC? I requested case notes 8 days ago, It will still take a while to get it. Thanks.

Did you get GCMS? What does it say? Thanks.

No, I never bother to do it since it won't change the speed at which the application is processed. People always tell me to do it, maybe I should stop being stubborn and request it :P

Yeah, I'm getting restless too. 4 correspondences? What do you mean? My ECAS still shows "Application Received Sep 17, 2012".

1) is a link to the March CEC applicants thread, I'm confused. Can you explain?

I never requested GCMS as it doesn't make any difference in the application's processing time. Regarding my NOC code, it is the same as the guy whose application was received on Jan-24 2013 and already "landed"...

Looking at people's timelines I can't help but feel that I got the short end of the stick this time. My application was received on Sep-17 and I still didn't get request for medicals, someone who applied on Sep-10 already has permanent residency and someone who applied on Sep-11 already got his...

Hey guys, Is there a consensus on the best/fastest place to get the medicals done in Toronto? Thanks, Gihad.

I'm really sorry that this happened to you, did you expect that at all? How different are the job duties you submitted compared to the ones from the HRSDC website for your NOC code? I hope you have enough time to reapply, Good luck.

Nice, I Hope they don't ask for new ones, as that would take time and money to get them from my home country, mail, translate, etc.

Hey guys, I have a question. I got my police checks from my home country on August 2012 (shortly before I applied) and sent it with the original application on Sep. 2012, but because the strike happened, I haven't been asked for medicals yet and now it's been more than 1 year since I got the...
