It seems to me that ICBC still requires at least a learner's driving licence number before they can process the road test booking. I'm not sure if there will be a long queue for the road test in Vancouver. Assume I pass the knowledge test the next day after landing, do you think I could take...

If it's really possible, I wish to book the road test online at this moment. However, the online booking page asks for a DRIVER'S LICENCE number. Any idea of what to enter for this field? I'm still in HK and certainly haven't got the BC learner's licence yet. Just input my full HK driver's...

I've a full Hong Kong driving license for over 10 years. It seems to me that I still need to take the knowledge test besides the road test in Vancouver. Right? Do they distinguish between licenses for automatic transmission and standard transmission? Any idea of how long I've to wait for the...

For the PR card, I think I'll have it sent to me by my relatives in Vancouver once they get it. But, do you think this is considered cheating? :) I was wondering if this would cause any repercussions on my Citizenship application in future. After landing, I plan to fly to New York city for...

Hi, I plan to do a short landing for three weeks soon. I'd like to know if there are any CIC regulations governing how long I'm required to stay inside Canada after the initial landing? Do I have to stay in Canada until I get my PR card by mail. Thanks.

Hi I also have a question. In cic webpage, it's said that one must be in canada in order to renew the PR card. Does it mean that I've to be present in canada during the entire renewal application process until I finally get the renewed PR card? Can I just file the renewal application in...

Yes, that's right. Thanks for reminding me of that tricky part. I think the safest way is to spend the 2-year chunk of time in Canada at the later part of the 5 year. On second thoughts, I think I'll land in Vancouver and stay there for a few days and then come back to HK. After two and a...

My concern is how to show CIC that I'll satisfy the residency obligations as a PR. After landing, I plan to live there for 2 years and then come back to Hong Kong. I'll return to Canada at the end of the first 5 years to renew my PR card. When I leave Canada, there will be no departure stamp...

Thanks for this piece of information. I think the plane boarding pass is also another piece of evidence even though that may not be conclusive. The most authoritative piece of evidence is an arrival stamp on the passport by the Customs. But, for we Hong Kong residents, we only need our HKID...

I've a question regarding the post COPR stage. Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question. But, since it's related to Hong Kong residents, I may give it a try and see if anyone out there would kindly have the answer. Thanks in advance! I already got the COPR and plan to land in...

Thanks for sharing your information. I feel much less worried now because I'm not the only one who got this confusing COPR form from the Hong Kong visa office. Looks like other applicants from Hong Kong got this confusing letter too. I just think this is kind of weird. Both the covering...

Hi, I believe you received your COPR from HK visa office. I got it two weeks ago. But I still have a problem with my COPR. In another computer-generated letter, it said that the landing expiration date is noted in ITEM 33 of the confirmation of permanent residence form (COPR). I've carefully...

I just got my confirmation of permanent residence form last week Just have a minor question. In another letter, it said that the landing expiry date is noted in item 33 of the confirmation of permanent residence form. I've carefully browsed through the form and still couldn't find any item...
