    Panel of physicians in India

    I'm using Xubuntu 15.04. The site www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx using Chrome Version 47.0.2526.73 (64-bit) and also using Firefox version 40.0, the drop down menu of countries shows a list of countries. I have tried this with both Javascript turned on or off.

    Replacing PR-Card with errors using IMM5531B, how long does it take?

    I have an urgent PR-Card on the go, which I received, but had an error on it. I sent it back along with IMM5531B. Does anyone know how long it takes for CIC to send back a corrected PR-Card, given that the initial card was processed urgently?

    Good area to settle around Toronto

    The area you should plan to live in, should depend entire on where you expect to find work. That is, if you're going to work. If you want access to downtown, but you wish to live somewhere less hectic and less expensive, then you might look at Brampton, somewhere near on its train GO stations...

    eTA deadline extended six months . . . BUT

    US citizens are foreign nationals, but treated special for some reasons. Perhaps because they bring in a lot of tourist dollars, I don't know the main reasons. But PRs are not foreign as far as I know. PRs are required to reenter Canada using a PR-Card or PR travel document. You can take you...

    eTA requirement postponed for 6 months, from March 15 to the fall.

    I can't post links, but you can google for it, or go to the CBC news website and look for an article called "Canada gives visa-exempt travellers 6 months to comply with electronic travel authorization ". "travellers from visa-exempt countries a six-month grace period to comply with a new...

    Urgent PR-Card renewal, include a prepaid return express envelope?

    If one includes a prepaid express return envelope, with tracking and signature option, that has a matching address, will the CIC use that, or will they send through regular mail ignoring the envelope? This is not about applying for a PRTD abroad, where I *think* do actually prefer to enclose a...

    Proof of PR, don't travel without it?

    Re IMM5627E, the document checklist, 7. Evidence of your permanent resident status in Canada, such as: • a Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence or, if the document was lost or stolen, a police report documenting the circumstances of the loss, • an expired permanent resident...

    Proof of PR, don't travel without it?

    I didn't mean proof of PR-Card, but proof of being a permanent resident. See, if you lose your card while you're outside the country, you can not fly back until you obtain a PRTD (travel document from a visa office in or near the country you're traveling back to Canada from). The problem then is...

    Proof of PR, don't travel without it?

    If you travel to outside of Canada (eg. overseas), and you lose your PR-Card for whatever reason during your trip, after March 15, you will not be able to board the plane back to Canada, unless you have obtain a PR travel document (PRTD). However, the processing time, apparently is 1 to 2...

We're transitioning from a system...

    Please help! Can I renter Canada in such situation?

    Yet another tip. It is possible that the VAC will not let you pick up a travel document, but that they insist that they must mail your travel document to an address in Hong Kong. I have no idea if that will happen. I would think think that they would allow you to pick it up on a given date, but...

    correction/change of date of birth

    I'm surprised that noone offered any information. Did you call the CIC on their main number, and got a hold of an agent? An agent should be able to help you. There is a specific form that you can fill out that requests a correction. The card must have been issued to you less than 60 days ago...

    Because of Expired PR card, school refuses to process the registration

    After pointing out to them that under no circumstances can they refuse the students from being enrolled, and *IF* they still give you a hard time, I would work your way up. Perhaps all that you're dealing with here, is an ignorant person working in the administration where you enter when you...

    Because of Expired PR card, school refuses to process the registration

    Must travel in 7 weeks, both passport and prcard expired

    Cautiously optimistic I have good news. The status changed to "Decision Made", and the details say the application has been approved and that the card will be either mailed to me, or for quality control purposes, I might have to pick it up, where they would verify the original information. I'm...

    Application for a Verification of Status (VOS), prove current status?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping that either the Search-of-Citizenship or PR Card arrives in under 5 weeks. If only I could remove that snail mail time by paying extra and have them use an overnight courier... Normal mail service is fairly unreliable as well. Some mail simply doesn't arrive, and...

    Application for a Verification of Status (VOS), prove current status?

    Thanks for the reply. Very informative. I had a feeling that verification doesn't show anything beyond what was available at the time of landing. The reason is, I'm desperate for official documentation that proves that I'm a PR right now. Or rather, to prove that I am not a Canadian citizen. My...

    Application for a Verification of Status (VOS), prove current status?

    I need to prove my current status as a landed immigrant quickly, before my PR Card arrives which I applied for. I've come across an application for a "Verification of Status" at the CIC that I have a question about. From the CIC site, 5545ETOC: "A Verification of Status document will contain...
