Hubby just landed! ;D He drove from Seattle and landed at Port Huron. He said that it took about 5 minutes, just took care of some paper work (the title on the car, list of possessions...), and then the officer shook his hand, said congratulations and welcomed him to Canada. Now, like a true...

You have to be careful with that though since your landed immigrant status can be revoked if you do not make Canada your primary residence. But you can find more info here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5445EA.asp

Oh thanks! I was just about to look into how to apply for a PR card :P

No, no need to redo the forms. Just send them the info and ask to append to your application.

No, hasn't landed yet. He should be landing around Nov 16th, and I'll tell him to apply for the PR card asap. I guess I'll hold off on the tickets, and tell him to ask about travelling at the border when he lands.

I'd send all the info that is relevant to your application to Buffalo ASAP. And then, hassle them with emails until they confirm they received it.

Hm, Ok, thanks. I wonder who I can call to find out for sure. We have plans for a short trip to NY in Dec, but I am hesitant to buy plane tickets in case he is not allowed to leave (I know I read that here somewhere, just cannot find it now).

Is it true that once you land, you cannot leave Canada until your residency card arrives, and this can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks?

My husband got his PPR a few weeks after his medicals expired. He hasn't landed yet, but we don't anticipate it being a problem. I don't recall ever hearing anyone being asked to show their medicals when they were landing. He will be landing in 2 weeks, so I can let you know if they asked...

YAY, congrats! Finally! So happy for you!! ;D

My husband just got his back yesterday. Took about 3 weeks with overnight shipping both ways.

Congrats francohoosier and pdb1! Awesome news! :D ;D :D ;D

Hubby sent his passport to Buffalo yesterday. Now waiting for it get back and he is planning on moving to Canada and lending in November. Yay! @buffalo-toronto, Our GCMS notes looked similar to yours one month before we got PPR. Our due date on the notes was March 2012. I think if there are no...

Yay, congrats!

Congrats Ganapatiom! Awesome news ;D

I've heard this being asked of numerous people, always followed by the same reactions as yours. ;) That's really true. There was one Canadian border guard that my husband (a US citizen) was unfortunate enough to get more than once who always gave him grief. Every time, she would hold him for...

It only says "not started" under medical, and it does not say anything about receiving them.

I finally got my caips notes today and thought I'd share in case someone finds it interesting The notes are dated August 19th, and say that my husbands RCMP check was complete (it seems like it was started on our AOR date) and that all the fees were paid. Everything else (eligibility...

I second that!

@ JustandDaph, thanks for posting all that. Really useful information as we will be importing a car as well.
