Hi everyone,

I live in St. John's NL, can someone please help find the cheapest wayout to do the landing?

Not sure, but you should look into St Pierre and Miquelon - it technically belongs to the French, but I'm not sure if travelling there and returning is considered for landing?

You also have the option to book a landing appointment at the St. John's CIC office, free of charge. Call the call centre to arrange an appointment - there may be a wait of a few weeks.

In how many days does the CoRP and/or first PR visa expires? I have to book an appointment with CIC for landing, which seems to take a lot of time.

You won't be able to book the landing appointment until you have the CoPR in hand.

My local office (Kitchener) was a 3-4 week wait time for appointments, but I imagine waits are different across the country.

I did upfront medicals and had to choose "Worker" for the medicals. Guess you could always choose "Other" and maybe put
CEC or ECONOMIC CLASS in a comment field?

I had a question regarding the PR Card process.
Do they automatically apply for the PR card when you land, or do you have to submit a separate application for this?

Also, how long does it usually take to receive it?
I know it says around 68 days at the current time but would like to hear from others that have gone through the process if this is a good indication or if I could expect it earlier.

Thanks!

You don't have to apply for your first PR card. The process will be initiated by the officer when you complete the landing.

Hope this helps.

I guess it takes about 60 days to receive the PR Card after landing.
