Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[scottishmaple]

Boooooooooourns! When was the last time you emailed London?

We have asked my husband MP to call and ask about our file on our behalf and he has agreed, so we are just waiting to hear back

Btw does anyone know the deal about flying to the US before you get your PR card? Someone mentioned something about the airlines not liking it and were reluctant to let you board...

if you're in Canada, and you want to go to the US for a few days for example, don't mention that you are a PR. Just travel on your normal passport, and don't mention anything about being a PR. If you tell them that you are a PR, they will most likely want to see some proofs of that. Airline staff are not trained to read a COPR, so that won't work. the easiest is just not to say anything. When you go back to Canada, at the border you can tell them that you are a PR, and show the COPR if asked.

Send a letter to the Minister of Health . Direct email to send it to is hlth.health @ gov.bc.ca

If more people in this situation formally complain to the Ministry of Health, there is the possibility that MSP might smarten up and stop denying people coverage when they are rightfully entitled to it as you were.

I'll do that... thanks!

DECISION FINALLY MADE!

DM as of when I logged into ECAS a minute ago!

I rarely check it because we are bottom of the 2012 spreadsheet pile, but decided to have a quick look and I'm glad I did!

Flight was booked for 30th July anyway, so saves a few months of nerves!

Double congrats indeed! good news, hopefully the rest will hear very soon!

Good afternoon,

Your COPR was issued and mailed today to the address on file:
REBECCA
Address

You should receive the document shortly.

Kind regards,
CDD


YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY

But also, they told me they were going to be issuing it two weeks ago so I started applying for jobs. I had a job interview request that had to be delayed because I didn't know when I was going to land, so I emailed CIC yesterday asking where my form had got to. It seems like if I hadn't bugged them they wouldn't have mailed it out today.

Seriously, guys, just bug CIC. Bug them, bug them, bug them. I know you're not really supposed to but just do it. I'm so glad I did.

Anyone know how long the mail takes? I'm in TO

Also, can I turn red now? I would LOVE to turn red! Or do I have to wait for the thing to actually be here? My ecas hasn't changed at all.

Congratulations Rebecca!!

If they only issued and mailed your COPR today, ECAS might not change for a few days. I think ECAS is only updated a few times each week (the CIC website says they only update it on Tuesdays, but I think it's more frequent than that, from experience).

 

[rebecassss]

Thank you, Korma! Yeah, I'm not too worried about ecas now I know for sure it's on the way.

Do you have any idea how long the mail takes? I want to set up that job interview and need some idea of my landing date (I'll be landing the day it comes).

Hmmm I'm a little bit unsure about this. If I go over the land border I'm sure the COPR paper will be fine right - it's just airport staff who are the problem? And the other thing is most times I've gone to the US they have asked where I'm coming from, what I do there and what my visa situation is...

Congrats! This is precisely what happened to me when my COPR was ready to be issued so I've quote and emphasized in bold. Right up to the very end you need to keep chasing CIC.

Mail to TO from London you are talking about 7-9 days, sometimes you can even get it in 5 or 6 depending on how nice the mail is being that week!

 

[Korma]

Mine was mailed on the 4th and arrived on the 11th, so not long at all! I would say yours should arrive on the 8th or 9th. Really you're at the mercy of the mail system. I'd budget in for it arriving on the 10th and anything earlier is a bonus, personally!

Yeh if I was to analyse the data like our spreadsheet I'd say your 'average' is going to be receiving it on the 8th, your fastest around the 6th and slowest around the 10th
