Landing story
Well my husband is here now and life is great with us. I was so anxious when about him finally coming here. I was having a panic attack thank you Ready_fi_move_on for bring me back to earth after my major melt down. So here is my story
After getting lost twice on my way to the airport I finally arrived. His flight was coming in at terminal 3 but I some how ended up parking at terminal 1 and had to take the shuttle train over (did I mention I have a fear of heights ) so trust me the travel in that above ground train was a horrible 10 minutes felt like an hour. Finally I reached to the arrival waiting area before my legs were stead again I heard someone call out my name turned around to see the most beautiful sight my eyes had ever behold, there standing on Canadian soil was the love of my life in all his manly gloriousness. I ran over to him and jumped in arms. I am telling you we have hugged many times over the past 17 years but this hug felt like the first the last and everything in between. Once we left the airport we went to my moms house for dinner because she wanted to talk to us . so we go to my moms house for her big announcement lol I am so happy for her after 57 years of the single life my mommy is finally getting married. She plans to do it in the fall in jamaica lol I guess this forum will have another member soon if she decides to join.

I just wanted to thank all of you for your kind words and support through this process. I am so happy to have joined this forum. I will be around for awhile still as my sponsorship journey is not over because I still have to go through the process for my kids (love saying those words “my kids”)

God bless you all and I hope that all who are waiting will here something soon and be as happy as I am right now

congrats sammy on the birth of your little one

HELLO JAMFAM! Just popping in to say a hello to eveyone, Nev, Chickie, OneandOnly, all my lovely brothers and sisters. Hit me up and let me know how things are going with you all. You're all still in my prayers and I'm sending lots of love your way. Come on Kingston, your time is up now, send these people their spouses.

All is well with the King family, hubby landed a great job with GO Transit/MetroLinx and we're undergoing major renovations at home. I feel like we waited so long to do all the things we're doing now and we're wasting no time making up for lost time. We're so happy!!!! We're taking our first vacation from Canada together next month. It was all worth the wait, and it will be for all you still waiting too, just wait and see.

Take care eveyone, and one love! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Sounds like life together has finally started for you both :) I was just wondering for your travel next month if he had to apply for a visa to enter the country and if so how long did it take?
thanks

No visas, he's a permanent resident now so anywhere you can travel as a Canadian he can do without the need for visas.

I know a girl up here that came up as a permanent resident and she wanted to go to the states and they would not let her in without a visa....when she went and applied for the visa they denied her saying she had not been a permanent resident long enough to ask for a visa yet????

You may want to double check on that :(
My understanding is doesn't matter if they are a PR of Canada... it depends on their country of nationality.
So if he is from a non-visa exempt country he would have to apply for a visa.

Yea I am pretty sure that if he became a citizen then he would travel like a canadian then but not with a PR

From my research that is correct... it depends on the passport you are using to travel.

Good afternoon,

I found this:

Using Canadian PR card as a proof of status and for visa-free travel[edit]

In Canada

A PR Card is the most convenient way of proving status to authorities within Canada (e.g. provincial governments, employers, schools). Most permanent residents have other documentation (such as original landing papers) which is also acceptable.
Outside Canada

Foreign government authorities may require the production of a PR Card in some circumstances:

Canadian permanent residents require a PR Card, unless the person's passport in itself is sufficient for exemption.

A Canadian PR Card holder, in general may travel visa-free to the following countries: Aruba, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica,the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, South Korea and the Turks & Caicos Islands.

A PR Card is the easiest way for any Canadian permanent resident applying to any foreign government for a tourist visa to prove his or her status in Canada. Provided, that the individual fulfills certain conditions, it is usually easier for a Canadian PR card holder to get a tourist visa to most countries, where the individual's original passport/country of citizenship may not provide direct visa free entry and/or may require strict visa entry criteria to a designated country.
