I have all my PR stuff from the consulate. I'm having difficulty getting my title/registration for my new/used car I purchased in Nov. 07. I'm supposed to have the sales receipt (yes), title (no) and recall clearance letter (no). I've filed a formal complaint against the dealer for his lack...

congrats tamee! you certainly didn't wait as long as we did. I wish there could some kind of revelation regarding the variables in what makes one longer than the other. Alas, we finally got it so . . .

We applied in Sept 07. Got sponsorship approval Oct 21, 07. Consulate began working on PR file Nov 7, 07. It was forwarded to Seattle Jan 25, 08. Got letter from Seattle March 14, 08. Must get passport approved within 30 days. Will take passport to Seattle next week, between 8-11 a.m. Will...

Going to get my passport stamped next week. Do I need my wife (sponsor) to go with me?

I got the request for the passport! The day has finally arrived! This is the request: Documentary evidence of sponsor's intention to re-establish in Canada: e.g. proof of employment contract, job offer in canada, property rental agreement, property deed, property mortgage on property. Are...

I agree with thaiguy in terms of lawyer, if you're diligent in reading everything and completing everything, I don't think you need a lawyer. Although the forms/questions could be worded more succinctly, taking your time will be the key. You get GREAT advice and responses to questions on this...

I know a few of you are following our case. Well today is the 4 month anniversary from the time my file was sent to Buffalo for PR. Still nothing as yet. Jan 25th my file was sent to Seattle. Someone had responded that the fastest they had seen was 2 weeks without any inteview. Now it's...

Nothing as yet! :) Waiting patiently!!! :) (ok, well maybe not so patiently) :)

Did I read correctly, that you've been told to send/bring your passport to the consulate? If so, congrats!

I think we're sooooooooooooooooo close to getting the PR! I have to go to Seattle on business next week. Has anyone ever gone to (dropped into) the consulate prior to being notified and received their PR before or at least information as to the status?

Originally sent to Buffalo Sept 15th or so. I know that my wife's sponsorship took only 21 days, as opposed to 44 days. Nov 7th is when my file begun processing in Buffalo. Thanks for the website! Checked it out and I'm quite encouraged but another US file that just received their PR so my...

No, other than we live 2 hrs west of Seattle and that's where we would have our interview (if we have to have one). When looking up our status online, it states "Seattle office MAY contact you." Don't know what that means exactly. Anyone else have an idea about that statement?

For those who may be interested, Friday Feb 15th was 2 weeks since receiving confirmation that my file had been forwarded to Seattle, WA. Someone had replied that the shortest time from "forwarding to hearing" was 2 weeks. So I guess I put my hope in this next week :) Obviously I'm close but...

Nothing as yet. Check the website 3-4 times/day. Expecting notice by mail. Every day we're closer! :)

Thanks PPM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm trying to help but I concede to your expertise.

Please remember that I'm in no way an expert in any of this! I do believe you're correct in that once you have your PR you're automatically able to work in Canada, upon presentation of your PR to your employer. I wouldn't send an application for work visa if I were you. My wife will be...

Form 529OE 1 Appendix A 2. Open work permit What is an open work permit and am I eligible to apply for one? An open work permit allows you to accept employment and to work for any employer for the time period specified on the work permit. It can only be granted once you have received first...

My application for PR was begun Nov 7th in Buffalo, NY. It was forwarded to Seattle, WA Jan 25th. Feb 7th was the 3-month anniversary of the application process (the 30% time-frame for cases being processed). One reply estimated that 2 weeks COULD be the time when PR would be issued, WITHOUT...

DG, Pretty sure we sent in certified copies of the marriage certificate. Really don't know how to respond to taking the job back in the States. Hopefully it won't :) I'll be as helpful as I can but it's been a while since we've sent in our (my) file. Good luck!

Just to update you on my file: just got letter stating my file has been forwarded to Seattle! Letter was dated Jan 25. I think this means we're pretty close!
