I am a dual Canadian/US citizen. I live in the US with my husband and am his sponsor. We received his COPR a couple of months ago, but it's taken a little more time to get our act together for the move and we are not ready to settle yet. So we are now going to do a soft landing this month before...

Thanks @Hurlabrick for the helpful explanation and link!

Hi, As a Canadian, I sponsored my US husband for Permanent Residency. We were approved and received my husband's PPR (PP Received) in the spring of 2018. We have until November to land. We were planning to move in late summer or fall of this year, squarely in the November deadline, however...

Hi Reo, As KBH said, it's about four sheets of paper that they send back. The main thing for me, mailing from the US, was that I wanted to be sure that the FedEx return envelope was properly labeled. So I used a FedEx "letter" sized envelope (technically it's a little bigger than letter) as...

Hi Reo1, I used a legal sized FedEx envelope to send to Ottawa, and inside it, I fit a letter sized Fed Ex envelope with the return label attached. I hope this helps.

Home stretch - you got your pre-arrival letter! Everything else will come through, you just have to relax and be patient :) I know it's difficult when stuff starts to move, it gets exciting and we want it all closed out! I was the same way, it will come and before you know it you'll be PPR!

Yay! Congrats to you :) And I agree, this forum is a wonderful resource.

Congrats! Very happy for you :)

If you're sending your PP to Canada and are expecting your PPR to be returned in an envelope on which you've stuck USPS postage, that's not going to happen. USPS isn't CanadaPost. If you put a US Stamp on that return envelope, it can't be mailed in Canada. Even if they tried, Canada Post would...

There is no notion of restarting a timeline. Your application was received when it was received. The point of the timelines is to give you a sense of how long your application MIGHT take. But they aren't guarantees, they're just informational. So, if you've got a lot of back and forth and new...

Hi, They count the timelines from the time the application was received. It should say in your CIC GCKey login what date they received your application, They definitely start counting before AOR and before In Process. So your timeline has begun, you don't need to worry about that. That being...

Wise advice! Thanks :)

Thanks @betterthanyoko . That helps. I'm not so much losing patience as engaging in your run of the mill doubts of "what if it gets lost, what if I have to resend and it's outside the 30 day window, what if... what if...? But I'll wait another week before contacting them. That will still give...

PP/PPR Turn Around Question: We received Passport Request on Feb 19 and we FedEx-ed everything off (passport photocopy and return envelope) to Ottawa on March 5. Our packaged was received and signed for on Tuesday March 6. Now I'm waiting for them to use the return Fed Ex envelope, but so far...

Thank you!

I am sending the documents from the US. So I was going to use FedEx, and include a smaller envelope inside a larger one. But in the online FedEx account, it asks who the sender is. For the return envelope, where I am the recipient, is the sender just the CIC VO in Ottawa?

Hi Jordo, I'm curious what you ended up going with. I was going to use FedEx, but I'm not sure who I should put as a sender on the return envelope. if I'm the recipient, do I just use the CIC Ottawa address as the sender? I mean, that's where they'll be sending it from...

Any thoughts on this?

Question about PPR Self-Addressed envelope: who did you mark as "Sender" for the return envelope? I created a FedEx account to generate a return waybill for CIC to return PP&COPR. It seems obvious that if I'm the recipient, then the sender would be the Ottawa address where we are sending it out...

Not exactly the same situation, but also out of sync. On the same day that GCKey said BGC In Progress, ECAS said Decision Made. But then, in ECAS, when I clicked on the status, it just said Received. It took another day before ECAS even said In Progress when I clicked on Decision Made link. So...
