Does anybody has an idea in how many days PR card is coming nowadays if anybody makes landing in Calgary?

Does landing in different province has any impact on PR Card receiving time.

Thanks
Not really.

PR Card processing times are here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp

use google maps, and search for stores nearby.
visit local mosque, ask people for directions, etc. Vancouver has lot of indian population so it should not be difficult to find south-asian stores

there is no such thing as "pr application".
just have canadian address ready to give to immigration officials.
Your formalities will be taken care of in Toronto, and then board domestic flight to Sask.
Your luggage should be booked to Sask hopefully.

Ask your travel agent about this. And search the local air cargo/courier companies that provide this service.
Or ask travel agent to get you extra luggage allowance on the ticket by paying extra.

Best to check prices of both before decision. Remember air cargo will arrive later and you will need to go pick it up at airport again.

Salam Every one..I landed at Calgary on 18th August. The immigration officer asked me for my address to deliver PR card. I gave them my new address for calgary.
Today i checked my status on ecas, it is still showing decision made and my old address of my Toronto consultant. I have read on forum that after landing status changes and so does the address if you provide the new address to them.

I am concerned weather my PR application has been initiated or not? Also why my new updated address in not showing on ecas?
Any body having any idea about it, please share...

Thanks
