Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

My COPR just arrived!

Oh my god we are both so happy! My hands are shaking!

Just to clarify I am already in Canada and do not have any goods coming from the UK, so is it okay not to have a B4 form or whatever it is?

Also I plan on either going today or early tomorrow, is it okay if my spouse, a Canadian citizen flagpoles with me? No need for us to go into the states.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Andrew congratulations!!! We're so happy for you - congratulations and go get your landing and sign that offer letter!

Oh and welcome home

Edit: Yeah I (Canadian citizen) flagpoled with my wife @ Niagara Falls and the US border agent didnt so much as bat an eyelid in my direction. The administrative refusal paper they gave was for her and didn't even have my name on it.

Doubt you need B4 if you dont have GTF. My wife didnt know about the B4 and said she had GTF and the customs guy browbeat her and just wrote no GTF in the stamp on her passport.

Thrilled for you Andrew ! All the best to you and your family.

We didn't have any goods to follow and I crossed with my spouse when he flag polled with no issues just have both passports and you are good to go ! The border is open till 11pm.

Hellooooo - I got DM on 3rd December but still no sign of COPR. Does anyone know if this time scale is normal or should I get in touch with CIC?

Thanks!

Yeahhhh Andrew Congratulations ! Your wife ca go with you or not it doesn't matter and since you don't have any goods to follow no B4 form required ...

 

[Taddy]

Oh Andrew, that's amazing news - happy new year!

I flagpoled and had all my stuff here for 6 months before then. No one even mentioned B4

Thanks!

I think it's normal?

I'm going to contact them if it hasn't arrived by 9th January, which will be a month after receiving DM on ecas.

I think the Christmas mail will affect things so trying to convince myself that it's; a) a good decision b) normal delivery timescale! lol!

Keep me posted (pardon the expression!) ;D


Congratulations Andrew

Hello! I have landed!

My COPR is dated December 3rd - 2 days before ECAS went DM.

The accompanying letter was dated December 15th and the Royal Mail post mark was dated December 17th so it took 2 weeks after DM for them to send it. Also today they responded to one of my emails saying when they sent it and gave me the tracking number.

My landing experience:

I had to wait about 15 minutes to get to the US booth, told them I wanted to flagpole, they directed me to park and inside I waited about 15 minutes before they gave me the administrative refusal document. Then they told me to follow their car to a place I could do a U-turn.

It took about 10 minutes to get to the Canadian booth, they actually opened up a second booth and I was the next car in line. The guy there was super friendly, asked what's my purpose, after I told him he congratulated me and told me where to park. He gave me a yellow slip which I had to give the officers inside.

The office was quiet, no other travelers. I handed over my papers and the officer asked under which scheme I applied, are details correct on the COPR. He also said "why didn't you make an appointment at the Calgary office like you are supposed to?" I told him I was aware that you can flagpole, he asked how I know that and I said an immigration forum. That shut him up.

10 minutes later I was stamped and he handed over the documents! He said I'll get my PR card within 90 days.

Thanks for the support from everyone, definitely made the wait easier. Oh I never got a Canadian flag

Way to start the new year, Congrats Andrew!

 

[Beal Feirste]

Great stuff. Congrats Andrew and best wishes for the new year. I just received an email from CIC confirming that they received my additional documents and they are now asking for 4 passport photographs within 30 days. This is after DM has been made. What would this mean? Will I be waiting on my COPR longer now? Did you get the photo requests and if so how did you send them from Calgary?

Congratulations Andrew and taffy, so happy that it's finally all over for you two!
