Hi All
I did my landing yesterday.I am planning to go to India
On oct 22.Will i get my PR Card till then?
Hi!
I do not think anybody can answer this for sure. If they can follow the new 36 calendar days rule than you have a chance, but no guarantee.

Good luck! ;)

Well the processing time is not accurate sometimes. Also, it might refer to the amount of time before they start processing your application, not how long until you get PR card in hand. So in your case 36 days is pretty close. You should get your card in a couple of weeks.

1. Can someone please tell me what is Verification after landing and before issuing the PR card?

2. If they need photos again, will they send an email directly to applicant or consultant?

3. Has anyone applied for Express PR card request (have to submit confirmed travel tickets)? If yes, Does it really help expedite the process?

thanks in advance.

Hey New Guy,
1. Not everyone goes through verification before issuing PR card. Did you apply under CEC? If yes, as soon as you land, the PR card process initiates automatically at the border. You do not need to apply separately for it.
2. It might be both. Better keep checking with your consultant. Some people here had their passports sent to their lawyers.
3. If you are a new immigrant, you cannot apply for express PR. Doesn't matter if you have travel tickets or not. This service is available only for PR card renewals which normally take 6 months. Not for new immigrants getting PR card for the first time.

Hope this helps

CEC Full application with photos for PR submitted - Jul 18 2013
Visa issued - July 20 2014
Landed - Aug 16 2014

I'm kinda worried about the photos i submitted last year for PR card, not because of the specifics but because of timeline, in the cic pr card photo specification site (cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf) it says the picture taken should be under 12 months, does that mean at the time of application filed or time u landed. I know its not a big thing to worry but i hear a lot of PR cards are delayed due to photo specifics and they don't mention why they reject the pictures and ask for new ones.

I'm planning to travel on November 2nd, and tiny bit worried about the delay of my PR card. Any advice is much appreciated.

Chill out mate! You just landed on August 16th! Give it some more time, I'm pretty sure your photos are fine.

I just called the CIC call centre two days ago and they said I should receive the card by September 22nd. So add 15 days to that date in your case. They told me currently it takes between 35 days to 50.
I landed on August 1st by the way.

Stay patient, you'll receive your card with no problems.

Cheers.

How long usually does it take for a Pr card to get from Nova Scotia to BC? Do I really have to wait 2 weeks as the CIC agent suggested?
Please, share your experience guys :)

Def not 2 weeks. CIC posted me a letter last Wednesday from NS and I received it in Edmonton, AB on Tuesday (remember monday was a holiday). So U should receive it in 3 days, max 4 days. My guess.
