pls share your visa stamping and landing experience. how can you do both at the same time? pls explain. you are in canada or usa?
I live in Canada. I used to be on a Work Permit.

I wrote my landing experience in another thread... I'm copying it here for us October applicants ;)

So I just landed....!!!

I got my PPR on Wednesday, Feb 22... I was busy on that day getting pictures, bank statements and making other preparations for my trip to US.

I left from Toronto at 5:15 am on Feb 23 and reached Buffalo via Peace Bridge. I reached the Canadian Consulate at 7:15 am at One HSBC Centre. The receptionist asked everyone coming to wait at Tim Horton's and someone from the consulate would take us up there shortly. At about 7:45 a person from the consulate took us to the reception again and we were given visitor's tags and were directed to the 30th floor. There were a few people before me at the counter. My passport and pictures were submitted well before 8 am.

Then the dreaded wait, we weren't allowed phone's either, so it was boring.... at around 9:30 our numbers started to be called out. I got my passport with PR visa stamped and COPR at about 9:45. I could have landed soon after, but I had to go elsewhere in US.

Later that evening, I got to Detroit-Windsor tunnel (after a really long drive) and then landed. I was asked absolutely no documents except my passport and COPR. I was asked general questions about whether I'm importing anything, etc. In about 10 mins, my passport was stamped and I became a PR.

Just want to share my experience too. I was almost defeated by my frustrations and thinking to forget our application and plan for another. But I emailed them and telling them that it is hard to plan for our future without knowing the status of our file. After 2 days, I got the good news PPR!

I received a mail from CIC Buffalo today.

"Dear Sir/Madam:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview....."

What does it mean? it noticed no additional documents are required this time...
this letter should come with med check form which I submitted last July, but why do I receive it now?
Anybody has idea on this?? Thanks.

I received similar letter when they asked me for police clearance to be submitted within 90 days. That means you are close in getting your PPR. Congrats in advance.

In my letter, they ask for nothing, so it means I just wait? Thanks for your answer
