I've had my PR card since mid-2020, so there's still time. Our goal for a move is later this year, and if that works out, we'll be in good shape. But if we can't get up there until later in 2023 or beyond, the 730 actual physical days present in Canada won't be achievable, so we'll be looking...

Our intent has always been to get to the GTA as soon as possible to reunite with family there, hopefully we can make that happen sooner rather than later, and not have to worry about counting any days outside Canada. But it's nice to know IRCC's real requirements in case this runs closer to the...

Thank you for all of this. Enlightening to say the least. The statute seemed so clear and simple and prima facie. Who knew there could be so much nuance! The best thing that can happen now for all concerned is that the pandemic finally ease up, so we can get out of this limbo and on with so many...

The pandemic has delayed our move to Canada for both personal reasons and for reasons having to do with moving our business. My wife and son are both Canadian citizens and they are looking forward to the move, but for now we continue to spend a bit more time here in the States until a move later...

Very helpful, thank you.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if CBSA will be providing the arrival testing kits or will I need to acquire them before or after border crossing? If they are provided by CBSA, what is the cost?

Please check out this website - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/permanent-residents.html#outsidecanada - and look at under the heading "If you're already outside Canada without a valid PR card". Hopefully this helps.

You might try sending a message to IRCC via their WebForm - https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1. I've communicated that way with IRCC a couple of times and it seems to have improved the response time. However, the turnaround...

I'm sorry, but I for one do not have an answer for you. Since this particular forum has been mostly focused on PR card processing, it might benefit you to look for another forum that can focus more keenly on steps to take at the CoPR level. Best of luck.

Received the PR card yesterday.

Landed late May. Recently sent IRCC WebForm to request update. IRCC replied last week that "your permanent resident card should be mailed shortly."

Thanks, it's good to hear that they're moving forward with PR card processing. And congrats!

Just curious if anyone is getting their first PR cards? If so, how long was your wait time, from the time you landed?

landed mid-May, still waiting for PR card

Same issue here, I'm still waiting for first PR card. Landed in mid-May and current processing times for new PR card are estimated at 105 days, which puts it a month late. I understand that covid issues are delaying things, and that's a good reason to be patient. But if anyone has any insights...

Haven't been on an airplane since last year, never intended to, was only planning travel by car. That is moot now, since I landed in May, by car, and did the quarantine. Have a good day.

Folks, I landed a couple of months ago, and I'm just trying to get a handle on the rules I need to live with as we plan our transition to Canada. We have already begun that transition process, i.e. staging/listing here, looking at housing there, checking out schools, CA incorporation, etc., you...

Exactly. But our time-frame is to be fully moved by sometime next year. As you can imagine, it is hard to emphasize how difficult it is to make this move while dealing with a two-week quarantine each time we travel into Canada - try scheduling that into your family's work/academic/personal life...

Not really. Buying a place in Ontario and moving everything we own, and coordinating all of this so that our kid's transition to the new school there goes smoothly, and relocating our small business there and keeping it running throughout this whole process, all during a pandemic with the extra...
