Here is my experience at landing office:
Our appointment was scheduled for 9:00 AM and we were there by 8:35 and took us about 3-5 minutes to find that exact suite # in that building. When we entered in there were already 5 people waiting and the security guard at the front door asked us if we are here for landing appointment ans gave us a number 6 card. And we waited for almost 5-10 minutes in there and we could see there two ladies came in to those cabins and after a lil while they started calling up people by the number in the que. It hardly took them 10 minutes to get done with those 5 who were next to us and all if them got PR, and they were happy. We could hear those two ladies asking them questions very politely. All the nervousness just went away and number 6 got called we went to that window and she asked me first for the card that security guard gave us and for the landing letter. After checking that she asked for passport of PA, DL of Sponsor, one photo of PA and all the permits I had, and she just threw them away in the garbage bin, and she told me won't be needing them from today. I kinda guessed so there is going to be no problem, NOT TODAY. Then asked us if we have any questions so far, we answered no. Then she asked
1. If any of us have ever committed any crime or been convicted? No
2. Do we have any not listed dependents or children either here or back home? No
3. Have you ever been refused entry to Canada or asked to leave? Answer: Just got denied for work permit twice. She just smiled and asked again I meant if you ever got deported? Answer: No
Then she printed out two copies of COPR and asked me to initial in front of my answers that I had given and sign at the bottem for both of them. Then she did put picture on one and kept on a side and explained to me on the other one that I have to keep it safe because I will be needing it to apply for citizenship. She congratulated us both and told that I would be receiving PR card in 8-10 weeks. She also informed us that we can go right across of their building at Service Canada and get a permanent SIN. All of it including waiting time, being early for appointment and getting the SIN took about 35-40 minutes.
Finally a Permanent Resident Of Canada. #Relaxed
