Thank you all for your replies!

I became a PR in 2019. Did a soft landing for a few months and left during covid. I have been out for nearly 4 years and plan to return soon. I am aware that I won't be fulfilling the residency obligation when the card expires at the end of this year. So I plan to stay on and finish the two...

I became a permanent resident in November 2019, travelled to Vancouver and stayed for 2-3 months before returning to India to spend some time with family. My intention was to return that summer and stay permanently. But then Covid happened and with lockdowns and travel disruptions I postponed my...

Have any PRs from India travelled back to Canada recently, during the pandemic? Are there special requirements to be fulfilled for Indian airline folks to allow you to board? I became a PR of Canada back in November 2019. Moved to Canada. Spent a few months looking for a job and received my PR...

As a Canadian PR who lives outside of Canada, can I create a bank account in Canada and have salary credited there without entering the country? My (potential) employer is Canadian and I am allowed to work remotely for the time being due to Covid. But they mandate that I must have a Canadian...

Found the card in the mailbox today! Glad the whole process is over finally. Waited almost one year to have this in my hand.

I had another ghost update today (so two in three days) and status inside has changed to approved!! The message says "We mailed your permanent resident card to you. Your card can take up to six weeks to arrive." While I am happy, I am also confused. So the status is approved after the card is...

So I had a "ghost update" on my PR card application yesterday. It showed "application/profile updated" when I logged in and went back to "submitted" later. Anybody knows what this means? No message or email with this. No notification of profile updation

Thanks! Current processing time on their website shows 26 days. But processing time is only till they 'approve' the card application. After this, printing and dispatch would take longer, I guess. I just wanted to know what the actual numbers are from people who recently landed

What are the stages to watch out for after landing (EE, FSW-O) until the PR card is in my hands? I landed at YVR on 28 Nov. Landing formalities were super smooth. The officer told me to expect in 6-8 weeks. But I want an idea of recent numbers. When I log into my IRCC account after sometime...

If you do a soft landing, and also submit a "Goods accompanying" (and maybe a "Goods to follow") list, what happens when you leave after the formalities and come back at another time? When leaving after soft landing I would take all the stuff with me. And then bring them back when coming back...

No, it says changes up until 180 days which, in most cases, is after getting the card.

The page below states that "If you change your address within 180 days of arriving in Canada, you must tell us using the web form." https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/application-approved.html This is something I have never heard...

I was planning to land in Canada for the long term. However, it now appears I may get a work contract in India for a few months. So I plan to spend 2 months or so in Canada until I receive the PR card and then leave for India. I would move to Canada permanently at another time. I would only...

Also, 3. What about anything ON me, like rings, shoes, shades etc. Should they be listed?

On the "goods accompanying" and "goods to follow" lists, how do I assign value for each item? 1. If it is an old item. Do I put the value I purchased it for, if I remember, or the current value for the same new product or the value of the 'used product' if I were to sell it now? 2. If it is a...

thanks, guys!

Considering that Vancouver (where I am landing) is not as cold as Montreal or Toronto, will a Decathlon 3-in-1 rain cum cold jacket available in Bangalore work? The product is advertised to work upto -10 deg C. Does anyone own this and is it any good for BC weather...

thanks!

I just thought of a practical issue while packing. What happens to electronics in the cold conditions of Canada? I am carrying my laptop, phone and ipad. I was going to put them in a regular laptop bag and keep the phone in my pocket. But will close to 0 degree temperature require any special...
