Hi all,
We just got our RFV email yesterday :).

I have a question though, I am currently in implied status waiting for my postgraduate work permit while my study permit has already expired. Can we do landing before I get the work permit ? Or I should have a valid permit before landing ?

Thanks a lot.
You won't need any permit any longer :)
Though I suggest that you should inform CIC to cancel you work permit application as soon as you land.

My ecas system shows "Decision Made" one moment ago, but I didnt receive the RFV or PPR email.
Is it possible that I will have to wait for one more month to receive it? Thx for ur clarification.

My ECAS also turned to "Decision Made" today, but I have not yet received any emails from CIC. It is weird because today is a Saturday and I checked my status Friday night: it was still "In Process"! It seems like CIC is now working on weekends too :D

Also joining the "Decision Made" bandwagon! So exciting! Can we classify this as a PPR shower?

I believe CIC is showering PPRs.

Hi guys,

I received my passport from Canada Post yesterday (05/01/2016) at about 8:30 pm local time in Newfoundland.

I intend to do in-canada landing and will update you on the process.
Regards.
Hey! How long it took in total for the visa stamping? I mean how many days since they received your passport and then you receiving it back?
TIA

Hi all,

Congrats to all got PPR.
Do you still have access to ECAS? I have already landed and when I checked my ECAS today, it could not identify me.

Hi Folks,

I did my landing today Jan. 15 at the local CIC office. It was smooth and the officer did not ask for Bank statement or anything related to settlement funds.
All we chatted about was possible spelling mistakes in names and other profile details, shortly after the officer stamped my passport and COPR.
I took photographs with just in case they asked. But she only collected them as 'back up' and not really compulsory.

The whole thing took just 20 mins. Most it involved chatting about other things like economy, my professional inclinations etc (just meet and greet type thing).

Good luck to us all.
