PNP - PR - April-May-June 2015 Applicants!

[milo2015]

Hi Binoob,
Officially there would not be any issue, but unofficially they may put you in trouble.

I did lot of research, you are very fine to do that as much as you can, but i was not very welcomed by USA border officer during my flag poling in Niagara Border. I also heard some was scolded as he went 2nd time for flag poling, US border officer asked him why did he came again for flag poling, whats the issue with to take US VISA.

So, officially you ar fine, rest all are in situation based. Hope this helps

Hi Nayeem01

Are you thinking to do flagpoling or leaving country and come back for landing. I am asking because you mentioned US border security OPS discourages flagpoling. Did you experience that at Rainbow bridge or Queenston-Lewiston?

Hi Milo2015,

My experience from Rainbow Bridge. I went end of June to renew my Work Permit at border. I am not quite sure which one I will try for landing as my wife is back in home, kept all 3 options open
But again its all about time, situation and mostly depends on the officer you are getting.

They were not bad but not very welcoming, seemed like I bothered them a lot
But, at Canada border, got very warm welcome, at gate, they did not even ask my passport and one officer was waiting in front of office for us while coming from the gate (May be from gate they told office, that someone is coming).

I went during weekend around 06:45AM.

Thanks Nayeem for details

Good that you have all open options

We'll try to go in weekday early morning or around 10-11 am.

Guys I want to know how long it take to receive ppr once our background check goes IN PROGRESS. From. NOT NEEDED AT THIS TIME
MY background check went to in Progress Yesterday. ..
Thanks for reply in advance
Cheers

 

[milo2015]

It depends case to case.
In my case it took one day. Others i have seen from few days to weeks. Hopefully, very soon in your case.
You can go through earlier posts in this thread or another thread "PNP-PR_Jan-Feb-march 2015" and see a trend to give you an idea. Again,it depends on case to case basis and who is your assigned case officer working on your case....

June 8,2015 Inland Applicant (AINP). Called yesterday and the call centre agent told me that everything is passed and will receive PPR within February 2017. Doesn't make any sense at all and very much frustrating. Every time you call them and you get different answer. Called last month(after 15 months) and was told that the application is waiting for final review will receive PPR any time soon. As per GCMS notes (received last August,) on June 8,2016 Officer made a remark on my application "All requirement meets. Medical valid. RFV*2". Feeling hopeless and don't know what to do. Submit an application update inquiry through my local MP (last Tuesday)and will receive an update within 10 business days from them. Also submit an inquiry under IRCC web form for the second time (last one was submitted after 15 months). Lets see what new answers you get from them........................

you are right. the give different answers every time you call. They are a waste of time. I think they might be able to see how many times they have accessed your case by phone calls to Call Centre and they might have told you february so you dont call again. They dont care how we feel.

Until June 2016 it was taking only 2 days to get PPR after background change to In Progress. Suddenly after mid June it was taking 2 months. So you can't Predict anything with IRCC these days.
Mine took 2.5 months to get PPR after Background changed in process.

Just quick update that Return tracker activated @5.30pm CST today.
I sent my passport on 28th Sept and they received on 30th Sept.

Planning to visit North Portal border soon. Any SK applicant is more than welcome to join me.

Totally agree. Different answers.. So boring and frustrating...

Totally same feeling. I sent email to them at least 6 times, the answer just useless! Who knows when we will finish this endless waiting
