You're correct, if the only thing holding back an application is the medical then the office can extend it.

And no, COPR doesn't come with your SIN or healthcare or anything, you have to apply for that on your own once you're in Canada, some people do it as soon as the same day the land. I'm sure they can give you a bit of info about it when you land, if not, there's a ton of it here on the forums just do a bit a searching and you'll find it.

I'm not sure on the answer for this one, but I would have to say that it would be most wise to get a Canadian one, he shouldn't have to retake any tests as far as I know. But, if you don't need a car, then don't have one! Because they are EXPENSIVE haha We also live in a big city(Vancouver) and there's just really no need for a car unless you're going on vacation out of town(aka, rent one).

I live in Calgary, and Calgary is like that! It's only useful when you want to go outside the city, day trips or camping or whatever--and as awful as Calgary Transit CAN be, it is still preferable to driving. But today, I forgave Calgary Transit for all their past indiscretions against me for unveiling the coolest, most awesomest, futuristic underground c-train station 2 minutes from my work. Not quite the Vancouver sky-train though.......

Thank you for your responses Shylox, I appreciate them. I just want to get it all started now; I feel impatient. lol

Well my application will have been in Ottawa two months starting this Friday. I think I'm gonna order my GCMS notes so I don't drive myself further insane. Also does anyone know if you can take an online course in Canada without a study permit if it may possibly take more than 6 months to get your certification from the course?

I've never been to Calgary(Im the one from the US haha), but I've heard that the transit system is just as bad as it is here, I mean it's fairly good here as far as coverage goes, you can get just about anywhere, but if you need to be somewhere at a certain time, you better leave earlier than you think you should haha The Skytrains are great though, fast and easy to get to/use.

No problem! I'm no where close to landing yet but I've done as much reading as possible so that I can be prepared since it's suppose to be the easiest part of the process and I want to keep it that way haha

I've been thinking about doing the same thing but I think I'm going to wait until it hits the 3 month mark, as I've heard other people have had luck doing so. If you do order them be sure to report back if it got you any answers, I've been pretty curious about how they work.

I was going to wait, but I never officially got my Stage 1 approval (Mississauga claimed they emailed the results to my boyfriend, then when they got caught in their lie, they claimed they sent it to me and I deleted it). So I really just want to make sure it actually got there and see what they are doing with it. I'll report back my findings definitely.

I've been considering ordering the notes too. From what I've read it takes about a month to get them from the day you order them. I'll probably wait till the New Year. I'd be interested to hear reports from others too.

We've thought about it too, but then we figure we must be hearing something from them any day.

I'm kind of getting to that point where I don't want to read the forum because someone is getting a PPR and I'm not. It's kinda depressing.

Also not ordering notes as I think timing still makes sence. Plus I don't want to read notes, I want to read a passport request

Yeah my husband can tell when he calls home on his lunch if a bunch of people that applied after us have gotten their PR just by how depressed and angry I am...lol I'm just getting so frustrated that we haven't gotten ours yet when we have a really straight forward application and loads of proof that our 7 year marriage is legit what with always living together, 3 kids, no previous marriages and clean backgrounds and some people seem to be flying through the whole thing and as long as it was fast for them they seem to think that CIC is ok and works just fine when it clearly doesn't!!

I wonder if I can bribe Santa and get us all COPRs for Christmas instead.

Ahhh why is the spreadsheet screwey

 

[Canuck20]

Ahhh why is the spreadsheet screwey

People keep applying filters or hitting things at the top of the columns. They obviously don't read the instructions in the title very well.
IvanP and shylox have been great about restoring it. Hopefully they will notice it is messed up once more.
Frustrating eh !! Brings out the "Bah Humbug" in me ......lol

Maybe I just don't know, but why would you order notes after only 2 months?

 

[Shylox]

I just fixed everything that I know how to fix with the spreadsheet, IvanP will have to come along and fix the rest. I have no idea how to get the header back to the top where it belongs without having to copy/paste everything manually. This is very frustrating, I don't see why anyone would even need to change it the way that they are, it isn't even providing useful data.

Anyway, if you already know what column is what then you should be able to get by with how I fixed it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. All is fixed now =)

But seriously, spreadsheet Phantom, whoever you are, please don't change things if you don't know what you're doing.
