That is not necessarily true. My wife was able to enter Canada with her new passport and showed her old passport with the Canadian TRV in it. As long as your TRV is valid and not expired, you can use your new passport and visa in old passport to re-enter Canada.

Can't believe we going to enter June with 2 days of work since February.

Me too, March 2013; AIP Jan 14th... but they lost my police certificate, then they found it, then again it wasn't there, but finally after a lot of CIC call center pain in the *ss wasted time, they supposedly found it for good. Of course no DM yet...

Did you send your Permanent Residence Right Fee receipt before you got DM?? I already paid and sent it by email, no reply...

Congratulations!! Must feel somehow like getting your freedom after some years in jail being innocent (never been there though)

Hi Maxician, im sorry for this, and i really dont have idea why you didnt get DM yet, did you call them? and did you check e-cas status?

Hi, did anybody from country from where visa is required have experience that passport is expired during expectation of PR?
I applied at the end of January 2014, right now I prolonged visa, but my passport will be expired early December And looking at the list I understand that I will not receive PR earlier than at March-May 2015.

And to receive new visa into new passport I need to leave country...
And I can't leave country because I am waiting for PR.
What to do?

My husbands passport will expire this year. He is from Costa Rica (visa is require to enter Canada). We just went to Ottawa to the embassy this week, to get him a new passport. They will return the old passport with the Visitor Visa. The Visa was a Visitor’s one from 2010, so it is expired, but he is on implied status. The embassy gave a photocopy of his passport with a message (legalized with the stamp and everything) that his new passport is in process, but he has to go a few weeks without a passport for now.

You visa should be valid even if get passport renewed. Just make sure to carry both the passports together.

Can anybody explain to me what does it mean landing, if we already landed here? (The topic for Inlanders)/

You didn't really land as you came in as a visitor. Getting landed means landing and become a permanent resident. The original terminology was "Landed Immigrant". Nowadays they are called Permanent Residents. Thus having landed usually come from the old term becoming a "landed immigrant".

If you ever apply for an US visa and gotten approved, it will say "landed immigrant" as your status in Canada.

thank you for explanation. So does it mean that you receive PR document and have it in hands?

Guys, I saw the sheet of inlanders, but in general how long does it occupy from application sent till PR in your hands?
Shortest and longest period?

If you're asking about having the actual PR card in your hands (meaning you are completely finished)...It's well over a year.

Best case- ~7-8 months for AIP and a couple of days more for DM (as some have reported). Then add ~ 1 month for the landing interview/appointment...followed by ~ 3 months (current processing time) to receive the card in the mail.

Average- Same as above but a few months between AIP and DM.

Worst case- You celebrate a couple of birthdays before you have your PR card.

it sounds ridiculous And all this time you need to have valid native passport, valid visa and not leave country?
Unbelievable! Or you can leave country after AIP or DM?
Have anybody heard how to increase the speed of processing?
Why 3 months to receive card in mail? Why so SLOOOOWW?

You are not suppose to leave until after you become PR. Not after AIP or DM.
