Hello everyone! Been in this forum since pre-EE, time really flies! From CEC to PR to Citizenship! Here is my timeline: Location: Vancouver App. Type: Single Physical Presence Days: 1120 App. Sent: Jan 18 App. Delivered: Jan 22 AOR: Mar 22 In Process ecas: Apr 12 Test Invite letter/ecas...

They won't notify by any means to let you know, you should always use tracking service when sending to CIC. Not sure where you sent the photos from, it may take a week or two to reach CIC in Sydney if you're using regular mail. You may call CIC hotline to see if they have started processing your...

CIC received my new photos on Aug 19 and my PR card arrived in the mail 3 weeks after. This may depend on where you live too, since they send from Sydney, NS.

Though I can't answer any of your questions, I have the same timeline as yours, received new photos request after 3.5 months of waiting!

No benefits in terms of CEC. Beware that BC is imposing extra 15% property transfer tax on non-canadian citizens/PRs.

Same here. Landed in mid-April and called a couple of times in early July. Agent said nothing wrong just have to wait, today received new photos request ..... not sure how much more waiting it's gonna take.

I am on the same boat. Same response from the CIC agent as well...

Canada Day has a whole new meaning to us! Cheers! ;D

Update: I just called CIC hotline, the agent said they are experiencing some delays but my PR card is processing fine and no new photos needed. It should be finalized by end of this week and may take a week for delivery.

Same here, landed in YYZ in mid-April still havent received my PR card. No request for new photos either.

I was told by CBSA officer at my landing that you can leave that part blank and they will do it for you.

I am currently working in UK and moving back to Canada to fulfill my residency requirement. Which for the following is more favourable in terms of taxation (maximizing bring home income). Option 1: Continue to be a UK employee and pay UK taxes Option 2: Become an independent contractor and...

I landed 2 weeks ago and in the past 12 months I haven't lived nor worked in Canada. No proof of funds asked during the landing process, but you have to declare if you are carrying over $10K with you.

Though I can't answer your question, I have done my landing two weeks ago. On the CoPR, there is a line: Charged/convicted of a crime or offence in any country, refused admission to Canada or required to leave Canada? And the officer will ask you to sign next to the line if the answer is NO...

I landed at YYZ Terminal 3 (the less busy one I supposed) two weeks ago. It was 3pm-ish and the landing took only 15 mins, and another 30min for getting new SIN at Service Canada (just next to the landing counter) and then another 10mins or so for CBSA process. All times mentioned include...

It's good to meet you in the forum too, you have been very helpful and supportive! <3 However, it's not the end of my landing story yet, since it was only a short landing and I have left the country already. Planning to return for good this summer, but kind of stuck at the PR card timeline. If...

I landed at YYZ and the process was smooth overall speaking, since I arrived at 3pm-ish there were only a few people in line. After signing my CoPR, the officer directed me to Service Canada just next to the counter to get my new SIN. But one thing I think might be useful: I forgot to tick...

Heartfelt gratitude for all the help from this forum, I am now a Permanent Resident :)

thanks for the reassurance! :D so how about the PR card? when to apply and pay?

Am getting nervous now! That Personal Effects Accounting Document looks complicated... am I considered a settler or a former resident? In the thread you quoted, PR card application form is needed, do I have to pay the fee in advance and bring the receipt? Sorry for many questions!
