Logically speaking if an applicant happens to be in a different location than his VO, then, turning in documents etc should be an option, but then again how many logical things have we seen in this long process so far? my suggestion is to call the local VO where the applicant happens to be and ask them them if they are authorized to place that stamp or purchasing a plane ticket will be needed to achieve that process, my guess would be the 2nd one to make the bureaucratic aspect of this process less complicated.


so no one knows how long the stamping process takes?
I heard it takes a couple of days only.

LOL I know. But it's one stamp, how slow can they be?

The people I know who received their stamp, dropped it off on a Tuesday and picked it up on a Thursday.

Calling CIC later to see if it's ok for someone to land for a few weeks, and return home to settle things then return to Canada. Specifically, if its ok to physically bring someone's PR card to them.

Called CIC about the above issue and this is what I was told.

As soon as a person enters Canada he will become a permanent resident, even without the PR card. As a PR, a person can choose to leave the country whenever they want even without the card. However, if they do that, the person needs to apply for an "emergency travel document" at the Beirut embassy. The agent told me it will be refused if the appropriate documents are not submitted and he also didn't know how long the processing time is.

I asked if I can physically bring the PR card to him, and he said that I can "try" but they don't recommend it because the Border agents will cease the card if they find it. This card can only be in the possession of the owner. Canada will not mail the card to an address outside Canada.

Hope this helps if anyone is in this situation.

hi,i think that it depends on ur VO,some of them accept to pay landing fees without a request ,i mean with medical ,and u have 2 choice to pay:
online payment and by bank draft.and it depends on ur VO too,
so ur VO in Lebanon or Bucharest?

Alright so i have been going through alot of reading about the shipping part but i am still puzzled about couple of points which I am sure several others will wonder about too so here are the questions:

1- Do i have to catalog every single piece i am taking with me including studio cables and souvenirs ?
2- what if i don't have receipt for every item i owned for years, can i not take them with me ?
3- is it possible to ship my stuff before i leave leb since sea freight shipping will take about 5 weeks (for sure i will land weeks before the shipment arrives to canada)

thats all that i can think of for now, i hope someone knows the answers.

cheers,

for sure it is possible to ship your stuff before boarding from Lebanon, but are you sure it will take only 5 weeks?
-how much it will cost the door to door shipment?
-does my furniture fit there? for example as I read most bed rooms have wall closet
-what about the electric equipment 110-220v issue
sorry I added more questions than answers but it is really good to discuss this matter and share ideas

Congratulations guys!
I think better to ship your stuff , buying all from zero will be costly , but regarding electricity you can ship only 110- 220 others will need transformer but not for Washing machines.
The cost depends to the countries for all your furniture a 20 feet will be enough for a villa.
The time 8 weeks maximum.
Any idea about shipping cars ???i heard it is a little bit complicated.

All the best
