This is a question I cannot find anywhere on the interweb. I just recently moved to Canada to be with my spouse, and have a Canadian Permanent Residency. I am a freelance graphic designer and work from home. I still have a LOT of American clients. Just recently a new client asked me to fill...

Thanks! Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Took 19 days total, and that was with me calling CIC two days later and waiting on the phone for an hour to change my address because the customs person botched it when landing and couldn't go back in to change it!! WOOHOO!!

Does anybody know if CIC sends an update on when they actually mail your PR cards out? I officially landed two weeks ago, so I know it may take a couple of more weeks, but was just curious if they send out a notification anywhere that the cards are on their way. Thanks!

Thanks Scylla! We did just sign up with a real estate agent officially last week! I wasn't expecting things to move this fast haha Such is life I suppose. Thanks again!

Hi Everyone, So I literally just landed last week in Canada with my PR. My wife (a Canadian citizen) I and had been casually looking at resale homes a few weeks beforehand, to just kind of get the ball rolling for when I officially landed. We figured it may take a while to actually agree on a...

Called CIC. After about twenty attempts (I wasn't really sure what number to push to get through to an agent for my particular issue) so I just randomly pushed numbers until I got on a wait list, my address has been changed and updated. YAY! They really need to figure out a better way to fix...

Hey everyone! I officially landed TODAY!! Woohoo!! Although there was a wee glitch. The agent asked me what my delivery address for my PR card was AFTER she hit "okay", and it was not the correct address. It was my American address and not my Canadian address. She said she couldn't go in and...

Great! Good to know! Thanks so much.

Received COPR in the mail the other day!! WOOHOO!!! Quick question: Is there a 30 day time limit on "landing" (like most other requests, biometrics, medical)? We're vacationing in the states until end of august and then were planning on landing, but if there is a 30 day expiration date on the...

YAS!!!!! That's good to know!! :D Thanks for the update and congratulations!!!

Yeah I would assume it's okay as well, but part of me gets all suspicious and paranoid about the whole process, because they seem like sticklers on a lot of things so I'm all like "omg..what if they frown upon it?!?!" haha Please keep me posted on when you get it and where you get it. Hoping...

Quick question before I send my PPR in. I will be more than likely visiting my spouse in canada when my COPR will be returned to me. Is it cool to put her address on the Annex A form? Do they frown upon that because it's not my american address? Or do they care less? Thanks!

Hey All, I'm about to send in a copy of my passport for PPR and it says to send a copy of any amendment pages. I'm not seeing anything in my American passport that says "amendment". Am I missing something? Is it the back pages of my passport? Also, I'm curious if I can have the return label...

Oh! Just asked the spouse, and was told DM was received on June 13th. I'll update that on my sig.

It's in my signature. But I'll paste it here as well: Application type - Outland Applicant (Applicant is in USA) • Sponsor - Canadian Citizen • Application received date - January 8, 2019 • AOR 1 - Feb 28, 2019 • Sponsor Approval - March 5, 2019 • Medical Received - March 6, 2019 • Medical...

Just received PPR!! WOOHOO! I'm too adrenaline pumped to even fully read the instruction letter....must calm down.

Thursday night I received a ghost update! YAY! Friday afternoon I got an email saying there was an update and logged on to find I had a letter for "Pre-arrival services". This is a good thing right? And are these things that I need to do? Or just helpful suggestions to help get situated in...

Just doing an update here. As I know people around my timeline have received PPR. I have not, it says they are still processing. However, I think it's because my timeline is a bit more "shady". I moved around a lot the past ten years (Midwest to Coast to Coast) and I am a freelance/contract...

I would make an appointment. USCIS centers only have two weeks at a time for booking an appointment on their website. I went to the SLC one, and had scheduled the appointment two weeks out from when I received my biometrics request. And when I got there the day of the appointment the officers...

Def. made an appointment for biometrics in US. Those USCIS offices can get quite busy, it would be safer to book the appointment than not to.
