Depends. There is only offices in Calgary and Edmonton. So, which ever is closer will change the estimate. About 2-8 weeks (typically 4) for out west.

You will defenately land before April. If you are leaving, make sure that you watch your email/mail to respond to CIC to let them know you need to reschedule. Also, you must have a visa to re-enter on (OWP doesn't permit entry). You can go right after, you but will have a similar problem (PR's can't have visa's, and for 60 days you won't have a PR Card). You can apply overseas for a PR Travel Document, IF you have already landed.

It will be entirely up to you what you want to do. They will let you reschedule. But you need to make sure that you meet the entry requirements when you return.

I got an update a couple of days ago. Received a letter requesting proof of cohabitation and they asked for updated phone numbers. They tried contacting us multiple times unsuccessfully .
I realized that we still have old phone numbers on file that no longer exist.
Sent them all the proofs I have and new phone numbers . That's what probably caused the delay.
Aug 2016 applicant..

p.s. surprised they requested more proofs, I guess a child together is not enough :D
p.s.s. received SA/AIP back in July

The phone number mix up is why they asked. Inlands have to prove cohabitation, where outlands have to show communication and financial support proof. It's not relationship proof they need (that's where the child comes in) as you already have AIP.

They have been trying to validate cohabitation of everyone in the last year...usually by phone. I can't say if they called us or not. Neither of us answered if they did...

Once they have that, I would expect DM within 30-60 days...basically next time they pick your file up

Just got my pr today:)
But the lady told me that I can just use my copr and passport to travel us,is that true? Aren’t Pr should apply us visa?
If you're not taking a plane, that's true. For return entry only.

You have to check with the US about entry visas

Regarding the Right of Permanent Residence Fee: I wish to pay only the RPRF of $490 since I already paid the Sponsorship fee ($75) and the principal applicant processing fee ($475). I already paid the other two through the $550 package. However, there is no option to only pay the third RPRF. What can I do since I don't want to have to pay $1040 to cover two payments I already made?

The option is there in the list but you need to read down the list it is close to the bottom.
