    The whole process took just less than 9 month and yes, they asked for a proof of being in the US which for our case was the administrative rejection letter. In the letter you will receive from CIC with CPR, it is said you have two choices for landing, either go out of Canada and come back or...

    Hello everyone, So we did our landing formalities last night through the flag poling process. We went to Rainbow Bridge Niagara Falls, ON on evening and everything went really smoothly. Before going to the bridge we asked a Canadian officer if it is OK to do the flag poling. You need to have...

    Yes, we need to do a formality called landing either in cic offices with appointmet (usually takes 40 days waiting time) or at any Canadian border. Many choose to flagpole to us and come back but I am nit certain how smooth it is. There are some talks about not being able to do the flagpolling...

    Congradulation GeographyPhD, Probably I would do the flagpolling there too... As we all are close to this stage, could you please share your experience with us? Did you have US visa, and how smooth was the flagpolling, and are we still allowed to do this? Did you do it on foot or by a car...

    Thanks for sharing your experiment with us. I assumed you flagpolled at US-CA border. If this is true, could you tell which border you used? And what you have received from US side? Did you have US visa? Thanks :)

    Don't worry, most students are in the same situation. What I did was to ask my supervisor and our department head for letters. In both letters I asked for emphasis on keywords on NOC code which matches research assistantship. It worked fine and I did not even provide ANY of my T forms. On both...

    I think it is also possible to just come back without entering US or even going there for refusal. Three of my friends did this in Ambassador bridge and one in one of the bridges in Niagara area. But all had done it while ago, I don't know if it is still possible...

    There are some parts that they also need to sign, read all the forms and sign them accordingly... You can also indicate at the top of each form the PA or SP as for principal applicant and spouse respectively. I did it by adding small stick-ons.

    Big Congrats :) Usually you need to send 2 but the main question is if we need to send them at all! How does it suggest to send the photos? Mine has no section for photos but in passport request section it has a link without any comment on and I think it might be a typo. It may take some time...

    No, maybe because I had more funds when applying and provide them with 6 month bank statement.

    Hey guys, I just received the PPR email but it has nothing about the photoes. It only has a link in parenthesis in valid passport section which is the photo requirements. But I don't know how many for each I should send if I should send at all... So, could you share your experience with me about...

    If you provide your email in one of the forms, they will only contact you by email. This includes your PER or file number, document request, medical request, rprf and so on... You may need to send the documents to them by mail and they MAY acknowledge the reciving by email...

    Same here :) It depends, but I asked around / searched on forum a lot and it varies between 15-40 days in general. Recent friends of mine got ppr after 30 days of seeing med results in their ecas... There are cases waiting for 6 month but it is unusual and mostly due to expired...

    Hi superstring, Yes, you can apply for OHIP card for yourself and your spouse as long as you have lived here for more than 3 month and are eligible to apply for your PR, which is the case for all of us. This is new for Service Ontario so they simply don't know the procedure and depending on the...
