Thanks for taking the time to clarify the new happenings.I am convinced they are probably putting in new rules in place to stop the misuse of PR. So now with this two step process,guess it means people will first get the email or snail mail with regards to where the cards need to be collected. So the person will then have to travel to the local Office and collect them in person and during that I guess they can achieve two objectives of checking if the person is at the address given at the time of landing and also where is the person currently located .

Side effect of these new rules might be that if they also put a timelimit similar to landing on collecting the cards ...it will mean people travelling back to usa might have to make one more trip to collect cards before finally moving to canada.

Please do keep the forum posted on the future developments and good luck rest of the way.

Lights - Officer asked me to provide an Alberta address for the communication purpose, Now that they are sending a mail about the PR cards when they are ready. We need to go and collect the PR cards from that location, I guess it would be near to the location where you have given the address for communication. Officer told that this process is in place to stop the misuse of PR.
Also I will keep forum posted as and when I get the mail from them to collect the PR cards.

Hi, Senior

I received my PPR from Seattle today by email.

But from the email, Seattle consulate don't mention to submit the photo and the content of Height and Eye Color. Do I have to do it?

Does any senior have the similar experience?

Please share it.

Thanks in advance.

Gigi

Guys, I have a question, is it normal for "medicals received" to show up on ECas or not? My medicals reached Ottawa about two months ago, ECas still only shows "in process". Should I follow up with this?

Thx,

my file got transfered on the 5th Jan 2011. I was asked copies of add..documents on 5th fEB..then in March the same papers were asked to be submitted in original..I did..since then...waiting...no news so far!!! :'( :'( Did you apply directly or thru the lawyer??

I did landing at Calgary airport on May 1st. Every thing went smooth. The problem was coming back using AVR from Calgary int'l airport. Finally they let me fly back to US.Do not surrender your I-94 to the airline while leaving US. Most likely US immigration will deny entry back to US. As per US IO, the I-94 should never be given to the airline, specially if you plan on using AVR back to US.

I applied directly. Ask them for a status update if its 2 months since you submitted the originals. But I still feel your case should be completed before the end of May.

Why did you face a problem while returning? Did you give your I-94 while leaving the US? Please can you give more details. Thanks

Lights, Calgary2010,

Thanks for your viewpoints and letting us know. I have actually already purchased the tickets to land in Calgary in the 3rd week of July. Was planning on finishing the PR Card, SIN and Healthcard formalities and then use AVR to return back to US.

I am in Chicago and the closest port to me is Detroit. Now, would you suggest that I finish my landing formalities in Detroit and then plan a Calgary visit when they ask us to come and pick up the cards?

Also, What about the requirement of PR Cards for the 2nd trip. I understand that you cannot land using a commercial airliner without the PR Cards. Does this mean that I should plan on driving to Calgary when its time to pick up the cards?

Friends, please share your thoughts. I was being proactive and now all the plans need to change.

Hi albertaorbust,

thanks
