. I was nervous my application was lost in their pile. But they have a system that works for them, it gets done eventually, one hopes, if everything is in order. I arrived in Canada with a buffer period, then stayed in Canada nonstop for 2 years and some more, paid all my taxes, had all entry and exits information based on exits from the US using I-94 records, stamp on passport and air ticket records, so to ensure there was no error. Everyone do the math correctly, double check with a family member or trusted friend, use the exit, entry stamps, ensure you keep your flight ticket information and if possible, do tick the place so they can check CBSA records themselves. Make sure your photos are professionally taken and signed and sealed at the place you take your photographs. I still don't know when I will get the card in mail. I wished there was a way for me to pick it up at a service center so I can have mental peace that it doesn't get lost in mail.
For those waiting, i hope you are in process for a quick turnaround. I know it can be stressful and tough to plan, etc.
