I received my passport yesterday ...and i decided to finish my landing same day. I rented a car with my friend who is a Canadian citizen and we drove to Woodstock , NB. Landing went pretty smooth . when i entered US border they asked me few questions , like have i ever been to US, What do i do for work . that's all .Then they gave me a refusal document and I was asked to go back to Canada .When i entered the Canadian office there I saw few officers.One of them looked pretty nasty and I was hoping that he should handle my case . He was asking so many question's to family .He was not in a good mood .Thank god a very nice officer came to me and asked my for my passport and copr document . He asked how long you have been in Canada ,Are you currently employed,Do you have drivers licence. I replied to all his questions. I told him i was laid off in march and I am on EI right now .He told that is not a problem .He stamped my Copr and congratulated me for becoming PR of Canada. :p

All is well that ends well.

Congrats to all the friends who got there passports back and all the best to ones who are waiting .

Are you in the US? Maybe they have already sent your passport, but it takes almost a week to get it in the US.

Got this email from CPP ottawa. IS this a good sign? Can I believe them?!!

Dear Sir/Madam,

Your application has been finalized and your passport is now being returned to you.

If you have included a prepaid Xpresspost return envelope, your passport has been returned using this envelope. If you did not provide a prepaid Xpresspost return envelope, your passport has been returned to you by regular mail.

Yes, I am in the US.
I'm worried because some of those sent their passports before the end of April got them back about two weeks ago.

Looks like a generic e-mail.. Is this a reply for an e-mail you sent them?
