I called CIC last Friday they informed if I wont get my passport back in 2-3 weeks of time then I need to contact CIC ..

So i need to wait 2 more weeks to complete 3 weeks.

Once I get my passport . I will do landing formalities in Edmonton Service Canada office ..


If I do landing formalities in Edmonton to complete the entire process I heard it takes 2 months to receive landing paper.

my question is if I do landing formalities in Edmonton . Can I leave the country for 1 month in sep 15 - Oct 15 irrespective of landing procedure

does anyone have idea about this.

Generally, after change in My CIC account to "The application has been approved", you will be mailed passport the very next day. At least, I got it like that.

I did my landing at border. I was informed that if I wish to travel to India and come back to Canada, I need PR card. Otherwise, there is some other process which I need to follow. Also, I was informed that I can travel from USA by road with out PR card(As I have US visa).
I am guessing you will receive your PR card by Sept(generally takes 6 to 8 weeks after landing). In that case, you can travel to India with out any problem.

Hi Guys anyone know how to cancel a paper application for BOWP. Guess I need to as my PR will be done before the BOWP and I can bump someone else up in the Que

As far as I know, you need not do anything. Once they open your file with UCI..your status is visible to them as PR approval so they automatically cancel your application and send the refund back to you in 6 weeks by post with cheque. You can check this with CIC call center.

Only one status is active at any time in CANADA. So once, you move to Permanent then the Temporary applicant application becomes invalid. Even it is the case for those who applied online for TRVs or other temporary permits using MYCIC.

It keeps giving a "your call cannot be completed as dialled, please check the number and dial again".

Or probably there's another number for people calling from abroad

oh you are calling from outside Canada. Sorry I did not knew it. I doubt a number exists from outside Canada to contact CIC.

I've been asked to upload two documents but I don't see anywhere in MyCiC to upload them. Where should it be?

After logging in into cic account, click on "Check status and message" where you can see the status. After reaching that page at bottom left, you can see "view submitted application". Click on this. You will be taken to "Permanent Residence application" page.

Click on "continue" button here at bottom left. You will be in "Documents submitted by the client" page. You will be able to see new entry for requested document here. Scan and upload.

Hello everyone!

I'm not sure if it's good or bad news but it seems ecas and mycic are often not updated so your application might have progressed more than what you think. Even though my background check is "have not yet started", I was asked to submit Schedule A. I remember reading that usually this is the last step before ppr. Any idea how long it usually takes?

Thanks!

When did you submit your application and receive AOR GeoBC? Thanks

 

[PandaSi]

Hi, guys, I'm wondering for those who has been requested for schedule A, did u guys fill out all the addresses and all the travel records since 18 years old in details for the online application before uploading documents or not? :-X

Many thanks for this DoubleS, really appreciate it. I finally got through to an agent after navigating through so many numbers and finally waiting for an agent for like 15mins.

My thinking before calling was that if you are applying from outside Canada (FSW outside Canada), then your file will be treated at your local visa office responsible for permanent residency. So I was trying to confirm from the guy when my file was sent to my local visa office. He said its not necessarily so. That my file for example is being treated in ottawa and is in process. That the last time it was accessed was early May but he cant give further details on the status.

He later went on to say do not judge anyone's application speed with yours because you are just going to be frustrated cos there a lots of factors that go into the application processing procedure and its a different case for different people.

He said in most cases, Ottawa will process the applications and then pass it at the last stage to the local visa office to issue PPR.

He did mention that application timeline is still 18months but they just try to process express entry faster. i disregarded the 18months info tho.

Good luck everyone
