With God's grace, the mission is accomplished without any hurdles. We received our passports today!
A million thanks to all my forum buddies and fellow applicants.
My current home address is updated as Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The Canada PR journey has been a g8 learning experience and I bet I came out as a more matured individual from this endeavour. I have the following observations to make for the benefit of all considering to apply for Canada PR.
1. Hiring a consultant has been a good decision as the documentation was foolproof and no issues faced. But one cannot leave everything to the consultant and shld be aware of all the updates on the cic websites.
2. The cic.gc.ca should be read judiciously after applying for the PR.
2. E-cas should be regularly visited and kept track of.
3. When there is a considerable delay in the process, a general enquiry or a CSE should definitely be sent.
4. Always include genuine concerns in the covering letters sent with documents etc.,(especially when passports are sent)
5. Track all the documents sent to see that they have reached the VO properly. Keep the local postman in loop to never miss any correspondance.
And as for the rest, much was at stake for this PR, my husband's job(USH1B), my child's education.....but Canada PR was the foremost priority. When priorities are set right, things begin to happen. I have a 3 P's rule for Canada PR....
Patience
Prayer
Perseverance
I have realised why patience is such a rare virtue.....to the extent my experience permits I will always contribute to the discussions on the Forum...This journey was made easy with the support of the Forum.......Gud luck to all waiting for their turn of happiness.
. We have been celebrating since. Your Certificate of Permanent Residence is on a A4 sheet of paper ,i thought it was stamped into passport,all paperwork they have given us has to be handed to the emmigration officer when we arrive. It does not get signed until then .We have been given 12 months to land from the date of our medical,we aim to land in July. Goodluck to all and congrats to all others who have received good news. I will still be coming on the forum website to see how all is getting along,its addictive and would miss my canadavisa forum fix every week
