Quick Update: Just got the PR Card for me and my wife. So it took 64 calendar days (roughly the time that was mentioned on the CIC website when we had landed) including postal delays. This is a big relief for us as we were planning to travel out of Canada in December and would had to go through...

Depends where are you originally from ? Have you submitted police certificates from your country of origin as well. If you have lived in a region that has historically been subject to greater background checks .. it may take upto 2 years to get a response to your PR application. I have seen this...

If you do not have any goods to follow or nothing to declare then it is as simple as you mention. However, if you have GTF, you need to have a list of that. Declare all your valuables etc. Amount of money you are bringing in (proof for that etc etc.) Please refer to CIC website regarding all...

Hi, This is a question for those who have landed already. Any idea when we should be expecting PR cards. The official verdict was 46 business days a few days ago and now it is 55. But I am guessing this is an average number. Some of my friends did get it in 4-5 weeks but this was a while back...

Personally I think its way too early to expect an AoR. Most of us received an AoR 2 months after the file was received. File received status does not automatically mean you should get an AoR. AoR is after initial review of completeness of your docs. This also does not imply that they might not...

Yes you need a visa if you are going to the Detroit Consulate or anywhere that is inside of US for that matter. I mentioned you wouldn't need US Visa for Rainbow bridge was to clarify a lot of doubts that I have seen here of getting a "Reject without Prejudice" stamp on your passport from the...

Immigration Office: Buffalo but it got transferred to CPP-Ottawa in March. T4: I actually attached Tax Returns and not T4s. And when I applied in January 2012 I did not have T4s for 2011 so was exempt I guess. Format: I have explained in an earlier post.

It seems Senorita has clarified most of the doubts regarding extra sheet. I had a couple of these. I filled in the first few in the form and wrote "Continued on extra sheet" on the form. On the extra sheet, I mentioned the form number and the question number I was answering and if it was for the...

Hi guys, I applied under CEC and just got my PR. So I thought I would share my story with you guys just in case it provides any additional info. to other applicants. Also, I applied with my spouse as dependent (so pretty much double the amount of documentation) Profile: Advanced degree from...
