Hi all, After 9 weeks in Canada our PR Cards have not arrived. We applied for them when landing at Toronto Pearson and provided an address in Toronto. The questions I have are: -Is there anything I can do to check the status? -If the photo was not accepted (as seen in other cases), how do I know...

If you applied as FSW, you can use any point of entry to Canada for landing (except Quebec, up to some extent) and you can settle anywhere except Quebec. The only thing you need to have in mind when landing is the address where you want your PR card sent to. You will need the PR card to...

Does anybody know how to find one of these package service for Canadians? Would that be with a particular courier company? I was wondering if one can rent a PO box in the US to receive the shipments. Thanks,
