    Yes if you didn't have a SIN before. No if you have a temporary SIN (900...) already and need to change it. This information is in the information sheet I got from the officer handling my PR.

    I went flag poling yesterday in Pt Roberts, WA. I drove across the border (to get cheap gas and pick up a package). I did not tell the US border person I was going to get my PR on the way back (mistake! because as you guys have been talking about one needs a piece of paper to prove that you...

    I know about this cap and the overall of 25.000 is also not nearly being reached. I was referring to a previous comment in which a member said there was another quote which has been reached and therefore we won't get processed towards PPR until 2015.

    Hi all, I'm new here. 860 pages?? :o oh my! I'm not going to read this... I've been skimming through a bit and saw that people post timelines. Usually after sending the application to CIC it takes about a year? to receive the acceptance and then one has to go to get a medical check? I'm...
