Just a gentle reminder to all you guys.
I took a little over a year to move between a Buffalo AOR and my med request.
I took a little over three months between my med completion and my ppr.

Thought I'd let you know that although annoying and frustrating at times - you simply have no choice but to hang in there.
Spend your time researching life in Canada while you are at it.
Be aware that there is LOTS to prepare for after the magic visa is issued.

I like the colors so much bro ;). You will not be here in this thread anymore, might-be? But could you mind open the "job search" and "get into certain network" threads and being a hero in those ;)

Ok, so it has been almost a month since Ottawa got my medical results and I have not heard anything from the NY office yet. I just checked with my bank and the cashiers cheque I had sent for PPR has not been en-cashed as yet. It has been over 7 weeks since I sent the cheque along with proof of medicals to the NY office.
Dunno what is taking them so long! Judging by other peoples movement based off the NY office, something does not seem right. I am gonna call Ottawa tomorrow and see if they can tell me if the results have been forwarded to NY office or not. Fingers crossed!!

I have almost the same time line like you. My Fedex tracking number says the medical documents reached Ottawa on 8th July. Still my status is in process and the visa office is NY.

Stupid question, but can we submit the PPR fee via credit card. I found out my bank has no longer provided bank draft anymore!!

smallduck, are you referring to the RPRF (Request for Permanent Residence Fee)? PPR (Passport Request) does not require a fee. You can get a bank draft done from any bank if you pay them cash.

Thanks Garian, I meant PPRF :D which is $490. I will ask Chase or BOA bank and see if they provide bank draft when I were asked for that fee ;).

And keep in mind that total cost is gonna be somewhere around USD 497-500. The bank (at least Bank of America) will charge processing fee as well.

Friends, I have 2 more days for my landing. Getting kind of nervous now. Friday 10:20 PM I would be landing in Toronto. Those who have completed their landing procedure, please let me know what all I need to take with me. I have been following some landing threads and believe I have got everything ready for landing. Still, trying to be 100% sure..

Don't worry my friend..everything is going to be all right..it is but natural to get nervous...it will be a smooth sailing across the border...judging by what I have read till now...it takes less then 10 minutes for the border crossing processing.
Good luck and keep us informed.

Hey Pasi,
I will watch the thread carefully and certainly contribute where needed.
I guess I meant that my value is now limited.

I will be around in the forums of course. perhaps in other threads!!

BEST WISHES FOR A SMOOTH AND SOFT LANDING!!
