    September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Took my Oath of Citizenship today! 62 people from 21 countries all becoming new Canadians. I may have teared up a bit while singing the anthem… The process was all very quick! Good luck to all of you here…

    I have a query about those people receiving an invitation to take the Online Citizenship test. Did you receive an official email inviting you or did you just see the notification in your ECAS when you signed in? I didn’t get an email sent to me I only saw it when I logged into my ECAS today...

    Wait times for PR card

    I had a hard time finding this information on the CIC website so I thought I would share it here. As of July 31, 2015: Once you receive your COPR in the mail and then "land" in Canada you will wait 8-10 weeks to receive your actual Permanent Resident card. If you are from a Visa exempt...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    In case anyone was wondering, once you actually "land" you have to wait about 8-10 weeks to receive your actual PR card in the mail. You are still allowed to travel with your COPR so it's not really a big deal having to wait to get the hard card. I received mine last Thursday and that made it...

    I know right?! I was wondering how long it's been for most people to receive their actual card?

    Don't worry! :) It sounds like you already are able to prove your relationship from the beginning. Having travel records of visits are good. I agree with Majromax with all they said. You won't be scrutinized. My husband & I also sent in our receipts from our wedding so they could see how...

    Hey Everyone, I just got back from my landing interview and wanted to share the experience with you. When I received my COPR in the mail there was information about landing in an office rather than going across the border to do so. So I called (on July 14th) and they sent me an email with my...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I have my landing interview tomorrow (I opted for the "office landing" instead of crossing the border and flag poling), and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone this route? I am not sure if I need to bring a B4 form with me as I still need to go over the border to get my belongings! I know...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    That is correct! I filed as an Outland applicant. I contacted the Call Centre on July 10th and they emailed me back 4 days later with an appointment time. (July 31st) So the wait isn't all that bad. Plus I am unable to get to the border anytime before that to land anyways. I just thought it...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Has anyone gone the route of going to an immigration office to "land"? I have an appointment at the end of July and according to their email I must show up with 2 photos (exactly like the ones we had to submit with the PR application). It seems a bit strange because when you cross the border...

    Congrats! I don't have to land until November, however, since I've already been here for a year without working I'm anxious to cross the border soon! I also need to get my stuff out of storage and into my house. :)
