Congrats Moose! :) :)

Passports sent last week to NDVO. Got the visas stamped and COPRs back today. :)

Thanks people. :) Received back the passports and COPRs today. In the COPR the city of destination is written as Toronto. Does this mean we have to land only at Toronto?

Sent the passport to NDVO on 1st March. Today I'm seeing my application has been closed, BG check completed and Application has been approved. Timelines in my signature. Waiting for COPR and passports back..

Seems to be down. Haven't been able to access for the last 10 hours or so.

Thanks for all the wishes guys! Hope to see all of you getting your PPRs soon!! :) :) @MoozeNBooze cheers mate! Will buy you a beer once we both land in Canada. It will be soon enough!! ;D

Guys I received the RPRF and PPR together earlier today. My timelines are in my signature.. Sorry didn't have time to post it on the forum in the morning. I would like to thank all of you here !! Also thanks to Asivad who's been particularly helpful.. Hope to see everyone here getting their PPRs...

You do realise that if you get a PR on your own, then you have to sponsor the PR for your wife later and that's a very cumbersome process. Anyway to answer your original question, you should wait to complete your PR process and then get married. If you get married while the processing is on...

Use this.. smallpdf.com or ilovepdf.com to compress pdfs. Was a life saver when I was trying to compress all those scans and documents.

Put in your name as it is in your passport. The space in between in other documents is a minor deviation, you shouldn't need to mention it as a separate name.

Haha! Much needed levity imo.. Way too much seriousness and stress around here. :D

If you haven't made a mistake in entering the dates then it is quite a blunder by CIC in reading your travel history. And if the rejection is for a different applicant based on the difference in UCI, then its an even bigger blunder. Either ways, call them up to get a faster response.

Renjith, I would second everything JZPASSI said. Most Canadian employers expect you to have a Canadian work permit or PR before you they grant interviews. Therefore its best to first get the PR and then work on finding a job. With regards to the Job bank, don't count on it. Its not very good...

CIC really should fix their systems if withdrawing and recreating the same profile gives people a higher chance of securing a provincial nomination! Wonder how many others are out there like the OP who have created profiles several months ago and are still waiting for a PN..

Unfortunately, no. Only a partner or dependent children can be included in the PR application. Parents can be nominated after immigrating. See here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=343&t=14

On the same topic, had a US visa refusal several years back. I answered 'Yes' to both the relevant statutory questions at the time of applying. At that point itself I thought of attaching the refusal letter from US consulate (which thankfully I had preserved), but didn't since I couldn't figure...

Got a schedule A request. Submitted the completed form today. Wonder what the criteria is for schedule A request..

Hi guys, just wanted to give an update on the PCC process for me and my wife from Sai Arcade, Bangalore. We got our PCCs and the process followed was quite similar to what others had posted earlier, except for one hitch in my PCC. The officials at the PSK gave me mine only after another police...

Guys I have a reply from CIC to the technical query I had raised on this issue. Pasting the same below verbatim. My query CIC's reply Please do not respond to this message. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Although Express Entry allowed you to enter your spouse without a...

Thanks sumeshpunakkal. This is what I am going to do. As of now I've entered a '-' in my wife's Given Names. I raised a technical issue on the CIC site on this error. Did not get a response till date. Have also taken a screenshot of the issue that I raised. Will add it to a letter of explanation...
