    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    We finally got our PR Cards. Not sure when were they delivered, because we were out of town but my guess it was July 18th or 19th. We landed in Alberta on April 25th. So it was around 84 days, both mine and my husband's arrived together. So I am finally done with this, can't believe it. It...

    CELPIP Test Re-evaluation Success rate?

    I never heard of CELPIP re-evaluation, but if you have to pay for it, perhaps is better to study a bit more and just take a new one? My score on writing was the lowest and I kept wondering how do they evaluate that, it's beyond simple orthography errors (which are difficult to commit because...

    To complete landing in Calgary, Is it ok to transit through Toronto?

    Just as Bs65 said, you need to do your landing at Toronto since your flight to Calgary will be a domestic one and there's no immigration when you get to Calgary. Although you don't have to change terminals, have in mind that you'll have to get your luggage in Toronto and put it yourself for the...

    ******* HELP - RECEIVED ANOTHER EMAIL TO SUBMIT PASSPORT PHOTOS *********

    I don't see the need for your sarcasm, rezafc. It's because I read the entire email he has received, and pasted here that I said what I said. His comment is unclear and the email under Missing Documents says: Submitting Original Passports We require a VALID passport for you and for each...

    ******* HELP - RECEIVED ANOTHER EMAIL TO SUBMIT PASSPORT PHOTOS *********

    You can reply to that email and ask them if they did not receive your package with the pictures and passport. They are asking for both there in the email. Provide the tracking number you have. Did you send this by Canada Post? Before sending anything again, make sure to know what happened with...

    Passport soon expiring

    Most countries require a passport with validity of at least six month to enter the country. Not sure how that works for landing at the border and by flagpoling at USA. If you don't live too far away from a border, give it a try and see what happens. And let us know of course ;) Good luck.

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    Do people need to bring pictures for landing? Is this for the ones that get the COPR on the mail? Because when my passport was requested, they also requested pictures along with it and my COPR came with the picture I had sent. I did not bring any other pictures for landing, except the one that...

    CEC - August 2014 application

    No, your COPR needs to be signed by the border officer in order to get your SIN. You are not permanent resident until you do your landing.

    CEC October 2014 Applicants

    My application said "in process" after they requested my passport, and stayed like that for about two weeks. It changed to complete the same day they sent my passport and COPR back. I was freaking out haha, so you are all good. Congrats and enjoy the moment.

    CEC October 2014 Applicants

    I understand the frustration and the problems this lengthy process have caused to everyone, but I have to say I find a bit surprising some comments on this October post. I mean, most of August applicants are just now finalizing the process, that makes 20 months. Still some Jul/Aug/Sept...

    UK Citizen, already working in Canada.

    I think they only way to get an Open Work Permit (so you are not tied to one employer) is through the benefit from spouses who are either studying full time or working. Still, you will have an expiration date on your permit which usually employers don't like either. The only other way is to...

    PRE-Landing/POST-Landing preparation

    I don't have my PR number, but there are other options to log in into Ecas, like UCI, Copr or application number. Should be the same as when you log to check your PR process and then you can use Receipt number for example.

    Landing by flagpoling at Coutts, Alberta

    No I do not hold USA visa and my country of origin requires visa to enter USA. That's why you get refused and it's called flag-poling. If you had USA visa, then you don't need to flagpole, just use your USA visa to enter and to get out.

    Landing by flagpoling at Coutts, Alberta

    I don't think it's 24/7. I recall seeing at the CIC website that it was everyday from 08:00 to 23:00 (or something like that). But yes, Sunday afternoon should be OK. Good luck.
