I don't want to worry you but I think you need to be prepared to be denied PR when you try to cross the border. One rule for inland applications is that you must have "status" in Canada from beginning to the end of the process.

Can I ask why you didn't apply for a new WP?

sent pp yesterday, reached Ottawa today.
hope i can get it within 2 weeks!!!!
 
I sent my passport on 18th April. It reached Ottawa on the 19th. Now waiting for the return tracker to get activated.
 
My BF sent his copy of passport April 19, 2016.
 
My BF'S copy of passport was received on April 21,2016. Now to just wait for the return tracker to be activated. I will be checking 3 times a day.

We are planning to drive to the U.S and have Lunch in Fargo before doing his Landing once he gets his COPR. I am hoping to be able to go the first week of May.
 
Hello guys,

How many days is the maximum for Ottawa to send back the passport with visa? They received my last April 13 and since then my return tracking is not yet activated!

Thanks and God bless us all!

I read in the May 2015 thread, that someone got their return tracker activated on 10th business day. Some others got their activation on 8th. So it depends. But hopefully, we all get it back asap.

Best wishes.

So my BF'S COPR is waiting to be picked up at the post office. We were out all day so we weren't here when they tried to deliver it (there was a notice to pick up something in our mail box)and we weren't really expecting it so soon since his copy of passport was just received April 21st. We checked the tracking number and sure enough it's that envelope waiting for us at the post office.

We are going to pick it up then drive to Grandforks, North Dakota for lunch and to buy some junk food not available in Canada. Then drive back to Manitoba over the Emerson Border so he can Land.

I am not sure if the fact that he only had to send a copy of his passport and not his actual passport is why the turn around was so fast?
 
My BF is officially a Permanent Resident now.

We did his Landing at the Emerson Border. We went into the U.S and spent the afternoon shopping and on the way back he did his Landing. It was really easy and only took 45 minutes from the time we got there to him getting PR. Most of that 45 minutes was just spent waiting in line at the border because there was about 8 cars in front of us. The actual PR took about 15 minutes. The agent asked to see his Work Permit then asked him the questions that are on the COPR letter, got him to write "no" beside those questions and sign the COPR then gave him something to read about the rights of having PR while she did some other paper work. Then asked if he had about you questions and told him he was officially PR.

So happy and can't wait for everyone else to feel this relief

Congratulations to both of you. He is lucky to have you.

I received my passport today. Heading to the border tomorrow. What kind of questions do they ask ?

Best wishes. :)
