Still waiting to hear anything about the PR card. In the meantime I was able to apply for a SIN, OHIP, set up a bank account, and finally start applying for jobs. Basically I now can do everything except leave the country! I really do hope it arrives soon though. I'm looking forward to seeing my family and friends again and bringing up the rest of my belongings!

hi congratulation sbortner 2
did they transfer your application to a etobicoke office for further assessment after you got sponsor approval?

Thank you! :) From what I can see, I believe my application was transferred to Etobicoke at some point to complete the PR process. I just took a look at my COPR and it says "became a PR at: Etobicoke IR". However, I never received any notification about my application being transferred.

From what I've seen on this forum, the types and amounts of notifications people receive is very inconsistent. o_O
