the current processing time for new PR cards is 39 calendar days according to CIC (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp), so its time to take action, contact them and see whats happening

we understand, and we are not that type of immigrants..you can be assured that we are genuine immigrants. so you are probably addressing the wrong audience...

I'm glad you're not the immigration minister!! you guys *you and the jeep guy) just want to make things tougher for newer immigrants because you came to canada before us and got your citizenship. you wouldn't be saying the same stuff if you were a newcomers to canada...anyway i'm glad that you...

yes i did, you need to save money anyway - whether you are immigrating or not... It does take a lot of time (it took me 2.5 years to get the visa), but the new FSW is expected to be faster, just be patient and wait for the new NOC list, if your occupation is listed then you can get yourself started

i haven't read the link, but anyway - you raised a general issue - so i believe reading a specific link would not matter a lot. I see your point of view, but on the other hand you cant blame someone for seeking to build his future elsewhere if he wasn't able to achieve it in Canada. I'm not...

keeping the funds in the bank account for one month is not ok, you will be asked for showing financial capability more then once during the immigration process - so its wise to keep the money in the account. In my case i applied as an FSW in 2010 and was asked for proof of funds once in 2010...

I agree with kvedv, but just want to add 1 or 2 notes regarding the PR card, the current processing time is 39 days as per latest update on CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp) so you can expect it to arrive roughly within that period. I have landed last...

If he obtained citizenship legally, then let it be...there are also "Canadian born" people who have been living abroad most of their lives - nothing wrong with that, so it shouldn't be an issue if a new citizen does that.

Good one, that explains a lot......the poor English language,the unusual comments and behavior. Its a pity he's in that situation, but that was his choice for sure.

If you're after the money, the Gulf is your place....although dubai's expenses are very high (as you know) but i'm sure that once you re-gain confidence in your financials you'll want to come back here. We all know Canada offers a better future for our next generation - (if not for us). You have...

Great news & congrats! Getting the first job is an important step, also being unemployed is quite boring, causes frustration and eats up savings as you said, You earned the job yourself, i only gave a small piece of advice ;), enjoy it and hopefully soon you even get a better one...on your...

what's your profession? & what the reason behind wanting to leave? Is it because you didn't find a job at all? Or you didn't find a job in your field?

Can you share your own experience/ how you succeeded in getting a job in your own field? I guess it would be beneficial for us "newcomers"

Thats good news, good luck with the remaining process - i hope you get hired soon. That was exactly what i expected...getting a survival job is not difficult, but getting a job in your own field requires time and patience...and a good plan as well. Hopefully by time you also manage to build...

if she hasn't stayed in kenya since providing the previous police certificate - then she can explain that to CIC and she'll be fine. But if she continued residing in kenya for a period after the "expiry" of the old police certificate - then she will have to provide a new one. CIC will not...

Its a risk and only you can decide whether you want to take the risk or not. You cannot live 2 lives..so you have to give up your life back home and try to establish yourself here if you want to move (keeping in mind that you might have to start from scratch)....or the other option is to give up...

CIC will mail Each PR card in a seperate envelope, each envelope will have the name of the PR card holder (not the main applicant), the main applicant will have his name on his envelope only).

this is not an additional document, this is something which you have intentionally "missed" earlier - as you have mentioned above. You have provided the form missing information, so thats why they are asking for it now. Its normal for them to make sure the file is complete before they make the...

2 - if you are undecided about coming to canada, why did you apply for immigration?

Just a note, i landed last month and i got me and my family got our PR cards (4 cards) exactly on the 35th day after landing. Other persons on the forum who landed in Jan or feb also received their PR cards exactly in 35 days. CIC has speeded the processing for 1st time PR cards and its very...
