Hi Maha1981,

If you are already residing in Canada with legal status (like work permit/student permit) you don't have to apply for US visa just to complete your PR landing. Once you cross the Canadian border to exit to the US side, the US immigration will give you a REJECTION LETTER to enter US because you are there just to exit and turn around back to Canada to complete you Canadian PR landing and not to enter US. Kindly read my landing experience as I figured you will undergo in the same procedure and hopefully it will help.

Good luck and all the best! ;)

Congrats to Anne and all others who have successfully crossed the line.

I am in a situation and want to seek the help of experts on this forum.

Like everyone else, I had been waiting for this process to complete and had been waiting forever for the MR. Come December of last year, and i got wedlocked :) .....Yeah! a new chapter in life. While I was waiting for my Marriage registration certificate to inform CIC of my change of civil staus, they mailed out my MR (great timing!!!). I got my medicals done today but the DMP said she could not do my wife's medical because she doesn't have "Annexture A" (the actual form with a photo that CIC send with the MR). Can someone guide me as to how to proceed in this situation? Also, if someone has the info, which forms will have to fill in on my wife's behalf to include her in my application?

I have already applied for her police certificates from all countries where she has stayed more than 6 months.

Any guidance would be of great help since I have 35 more days to send in the updated IMM008 etc (the DMP will send the medical results directly to cic on Tuesday).

Also, the DMP (here in India) said that she would send the medical results to Canadian Consulate in Delhi, (since that's where I presently am) while the letter sent along with my MR says the DMP should send the reports to Ottowa. Should I request the DMP to send my reports to Ottowa?

The other question is, should I send the updated forms (IMM0008 etc) directly to NY VO (that's where my file was transferred to).

If anyone who has been through this situation can provide guidance, I'll appreciate.

I am leaving for the US 2 day's after tomorrow so if I need to get my wife's medicals or request the DMP to send my reports to Ottowa, I will have to do it on Monday and hence quick inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance $Dollar$

First of all congratulations for entering the marriage life and for your MR! ;)

I have an impression that you are currently in India right? If you can request the DMP to send your medical result to Ottawa, that would be better since your file is in NY not Delhi.

Regarding the forms that you are asking... I would say you have to send your marriage contract/certificate to NY and a letter informing them about the change in your civil status and they will tell you which form you need to update and resend to them to include your wife in the application then they will send another medical request for her if she is not a Canadian PR or citizen yet.

Your correspondence now should all go to NY since your file has been transferred there.

Seniors can add up if I miss something...

Best of luck buddy! ;)

Dear friends,

I flew from New Delhi to New Jersey over the weekend. Reached NYVO at 08:30 AM / 5 March along with their permission letter to appear in person to get my visa. I was called to submit my passport + 4 pictures and PPR mail at 09:30 AM and asked to collect my PP at 01:00 PM. Finally, got my visa +COPR at 02:00 PM. Returning to Delhi tomorrow and planning to land in Toronto on 15/16 April 2012.

Best wishes to every one here with their process.

Cheers..

Got my MR today! My BFD for PPS on CAIPS was Feb 1, 2012, and after a month, sent an inquiry to New York. Less than a week later, I get the MR dated the day they replied to my email inquiry.

My advice for anyone waiting, send a case specific email inquiry if you've been waiting quite awhile!

Hope all goes well from here on out!

welcome koryano! :D

Seems like your file stayed in Buffalo, never been transferred to satellite visa office like NY, Detroit, LA..right?? Buffalo is slower compare to the satellites VO in US but don't worry, pre-June2010 are being prioritized nowadays and VOs are doing their best to clear the backlogs so just hang in there and keep the prayer going... ;)

Anyways, I would suggest to wait until end of this month and if you don't hear anything from Buffalo then send a case specific inquiry.


All the best!

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to share the news that I received medical. I was expecting in Dec 2011, but instead I received transcript request. Eventually I received medical on 07 March 2012, which was dated 22 Feb. On request from consulate I had acquired transcript from my university and sent in 4th week of Jan 2012.

Just want to ask the experienced people who have got PPR, or waiting PPR, when do we pay "Right of Permanent Residence Fee" 490 Per adult)?

And is that USD 490 or CAD 490 per adult.

Thanks
