Regarding the paperwork after landing - that's my story: I opened a bank account the next day I landed. I showed them my passport and the COPR and my US drivers license. You do not need a SIN for that. The next day I went to Service Ontario and exchanged my European driving license. I got a...

I am very happy for you Quakingaspen and congrats to your Visa and soon landing. Thank you again for opening this thread.

I got only one email from the VO requesting my passport. Either to be sent to them and the passport will be returned to the address the had on file (would have waited a few weeks for the return) or to drop it off at the VO in person and be able to pick it up with the visa on the same day. I did...

I opened a banking and a saving account last week with RBC (a week after I landed). I am not employed yet since my wife is working and I am a "stay at home Dad" with our little toddler. I was not able to get a Credit Card (not even a secured CC) with RBC out of two reasons: I do not have a...

Not really, its more or less a day like any other. ;) Now the work starts: getting a banking account, exchanging the driving license, applying for OHIP and SIN.... but thats "peanuts" compared to the PR application...

Hi quakingaspen, Could you please update the coming excel sheet. With today I am a landed immigrant. I did go to Vienna last week to get the visum affixed in my passport. I dropped the passport off in the morning and got it back in the afternoon. Today I landed at YYZ - the whole procedure took...

Thank you for the response. Yes, I am very excited, I did not expect that it is this fast. @Radioguy: I am pretty sure you will hear in a few days. We are juts in the process to move from Ottawa to our Condo in Toronto. Hope to get the Internet connected next week - I really like reading this...

Hi, I wanted to let you kno that I received my PPR today. Now I have to figure out how to get my Passport to Vienna since I am already in Canada. I might go back to Vienna and get the Visa in Person. I hope for you guys a fast processing as well.

Thanks nylalisa for the info.

I am not too worried about the medicals - worst case you have to do them again. LOL I am right now logging in with my sponsors client ID and her data. I did not receive my own client ID. Am I supposed to get my own client ID and when would I get this? Anybody else who already has his own...

Hi, someone already opened a thread with this but I tought I let you know just in case someone from this thread experienced the same: Last week when I have seen my E-cas it displays under permanent residence application Application for PR has been received on ... Medicals have been received...

I like this new format - thanks for doing that. my sponsors ecas says they (I guess the VO?) received my application Jan. 20th - Medicals also received. happy waiting for the next step...

Quakingaspen I have maybe a silly question: did you get your owen client number? I thought that the letter sent to the sponsor includes the sponsors client number. I could login with my sponsors client number and her data. Thanks for enlightening me...

I was/am in a similar situation. We filed our application together from the US begining of Dec. and a couple of weeks later flew to Canada to visit my spouses family for Christmas. My spouse was with me and the IO was just asking how many Christmasgifts we bought and how many bags we had. My...

I apologize for the doublepost: Maja22 asked how many of you guys are already staying in Canada with her/his spouse. I do - just moved from the US to ONT and will most likely extend my visa in a few months. My wife is working and I am now a stay at home Dad - I really enjoy it (for now at least...

I am greatfull that quakingaspen started the excelsheet since I would not have had time enough to do it and I like the way how you organized it but since I am alone with my VO I like to compare with the timelines and this is when vietcuties excelsheet comes handy. If you dont mind and nobody...

@ quakingaspen: just saw your DM - congrats! I guess you got a Letter with snailmail? I apologize: should have read all the threads before ;) - you already posted your news. Anyway lets start the "long" waiting period.

@sparkle: I dont think there is a reason that an adress change would slow down the process. My wife is doing an adress change as well since she is moving back to Canada from the US. @quakingaspen: We had a customer rep on the phone today which told us the same but then he said he will...

Hi, am happy now. My wife just called CIC-M and they told her that she was approved with Jan. 10th and the file is going to VO Vienna. Now just waiting for the actual letter which was sent to us. Really excited now and am sure there is some movement in the sponsorship confirmations for you guys...
