Not requited, you can land any were in Canada expect Quebec Province. I have one of my friend selected destination as Calgary and landed Toronto last month and he had no issues while complete the landing formalities..

GOD is great :D :D :D
Holding my visa and CPR in hand..cant express my emotions, so i wont..but would like to share many important info that might help others in this forum, cause without this forum and many memorable forumites whome i cant find them now.. my waiting times would have been..no word to describe it.. :p
so here we go.. ;;;disclaimer; its only my observations from my experience and i followed these, so please dont entirely depend, do ur math as well.

For ppl who are still waiting for any news from their respective vOs for long; plz try to disturb ur file by updating any new minor piece of info. apply gscm notes, atleast that way visa offier will literally touch ur file.

For ppl who recieved their PER and yet no MR: first and the foremost : send ASAP the police clearance certificate as soon as u have them from all countries visited by u n stayed there for more than 3-6months, this way they wont hesitate/scared to process your file and get out of the guilt of approving a "would be terrorist" to their country.. hope u caught my drift.. if u havent received MR even after u gave them ur PCCs then u shud apply for notes every 2-3months, its polite way of poking visa officer to look into ur file without direct communication. Try to update new piece of info to ur file like change in address, phone number etc - with CSE , DONT ask standard questions in your CSE " when will i get my visa?? when will i get my mr?? etc" u WILL receive automated standard replies. and plz... ZERO aggression/frustration in ur CSE. vent it out anywhere else except on VO. they dont need it esp from u. Ask a question such a way that they will be compelled to give u answers. remember: 100% politeness required. Eg: Dear Visa officer i have been promoted in my job do i need to send the required papers,?" ur creativity in expressing ur politeness in CSE shud get u thru, i just gave u very mundane eg u need to add some more, u might be successful in ur first attempt.. if not try next 3-4 times with one month gap within.

For ppl who recieved MR: i need not say much as it is 90% done theres no looking back its just matter of time that they give u visa. Max time that u can wait is, one year.. sorry to say but atleast u know how much time u can wait and for sure to receive visa, unlike others who have no idea and r in complete darkness about their limit of waiting. cause ur visa cannot be ignored for more than 12 months max since ur visa would be exactly one year from medicals. They NEED to give u ur visa before that expires. So keep ur hopes up. and just wait just in case ---if its really been like 10months since ur TLU, then its better to send a very very gentle CSE to the VO and 'remind' him that ur tlu was ages ago. and is about to expire.. that should set him to send u ur much awaited PPR.

For ppl who got PPR; YAY!! u know it, i know it, every one knows it... its just a matter of time.. but then even evry second is like an year.. so yes pressing down the nail biting moments is inevitable.. n just wait..no CSE or notes.. just wait.. but if its too long like a 2 months ..yes plz worry and raise CSE immediately track ur passort make sure its not lost in transit.

miscellaneous: strictly IMO
Last but not least.. Pray, earn Karmic credits like feeding old animals on street, visit orphanages, old age homes, spend time about eco -conservation... etc.. , if nothing atleast stop non veg food, atleast that way u wud be away from negative credit.

Finally before i run off.. this forum has made everyone a canadian immigration consultant, i regret spending money on my consultant. :p
I was very dejected and almost lost hope when i didnt hear anything after slu last year. thanx to this forum got good info n i was able to cope up.
hope my contribution above helps..any doubts will try my best to address.. ;D

Harry, thank you so much for your valuable reply. Is it also based on halt time ? Like if halt is 7-8 hrs or more at any particular airport then we have to apply for transit visa .
Actually I am planing to book Air France or KLM airline tickets with one stop option, that's why bit worry about transit visa that whether is it required at Paris Charles de Gaulle & Amsterdam or not ?
Dhillon,

No Transit visa is not based on halt time..The requirement is that you are not having two steps in Europe as in traveling from one Schengen country to another....If it's one stop only, no Transit visa required...

You can check the following links->

I had applied for canadian immigration for FSW2014. These are my details:

Appln recd: Dec 11, 2014

PER/FLU: Feb 28, 2015

Processing started/SLU: May 28, 2015

Medical Request: June 18, 2015 and completed on June 25, 2015

Medicals received/TLU: July 7, 2015

Decision made: Aug 24, 2015

PPR: Today, Sept 4, 2015

I received PPR today. There was never a fourth line update/FLU. The email asks me to submit my passport and following details:


"PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR YOU, YOUR SPOUSE, AND CHILDREN: name, birth date, passport number and expiry, height, eye color"


My spouse is already a Canadian citizen. Should I just fill in my details?? I had never filled in my spouse's information in the application. I had mentioned that my spouse was already a citizen. Please advise. Thanks....

I got this update on ECAS.

" 1. We received your application for permanent residence on July 9, 2014.
2. We started processing your application on June 9, 2015.
3. We transferred your application to the London England office on November 4, 2014. The London England office may contact you.
4. We sent you correspondence on June 10, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
5. We sent you medical instructions on June 11, 2015. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
6. Medical results have been received."

It looks weird, item 3,4 and 5 are added today. I had three line before (1,2,6). any idea what this mean, instead of fourth line they added three more line there.

Hi shab78,

This is the updated "new" ecas. Many forumites (including myself) have seen this detailed status lately.

This only means that they are now showing the dates on which some correspondence was done from CIC side with respect to your application.

Cheers,
LazyBoy

nahi 22g..its not about the time of the halt..even if you stay for 2 days ..but if you are inside the airport you do not need a transit visa.. but if you have to go out of the airport you would need a transit visa in Paris or amsterdam..i have flown through both the airport so i can confirm about it ..don't worry book your flight ..!!

Hi,

Just have a small query regarding proof of funds. Is a Forex card/Multi-currency travel card with required CAD$(>12000) considered an acceptable proof by immigration officers at the time of landing ?

Forex cards are a bit dicey ..i would suggest take a travels cheque but if you have to take a card be sure to have a receipt of how much money has been loaded in the card from a bank authority
