lol, they also explicitly said they will respond in 14 business days.

I'm still waiting for PPR.

depending on your occupation you may consider different options. Calgary is not optimal but it's ok, imo, but I also agree that its economy is not very attractive. Also consider ottawa, waterloo, london, montreal, halifax, etc. Some are more expensive than Calgary but still cheaper than Toronto...

jan 28 applicant waiting here. requested travel exemption in may

just filling out the webform by yourself is fine.

Hi, I don't think the normal web form (the usual webform one use to submit additional docs, changing address etc) actually work. I first sent a normal web form stating I'm exempt from the travel restrictions and asking them to prioritize my application. That was back in late April. A response...

I am exempt from the travel restrictions and have a visa application in process. I have a full time job and immediate family members in Canada and I sent all the proofs. I think I should be expecting a passport request letter in a not-too-long period of time. I saw on this forum someone sent...

I applied TRV in Jan and emailed/webformed to expedite my application on May 20. No updates yet. I did get auto reply saying they will respond in 14 business days. But 14 business days have already passed.

thanks so much! Have a safe trip to Canada.

would you mind sharing when you have emailed ircc? Just would like to know are they really guaranteed to give out PPR within 14 businesses days. Thanks

Well we are talking about totally different scenarios. If the little furnishings are out of one's own choice (I mentioned "unique lifestyle") I have no comment. But what the other guy mentioned was when they spent all the money on the house itself so they couldn't afford more furnishings. I...

My 2 cents: I don't like the idea to confound a residence and investment. One generally should not take the residence as an investment. It should be like food and clothing. I literally do not understand those who have a huge house with little furnishings unless it is their unique lifestyle. I...

Right. We all know the potential huge issues behind this unreasonable market. But inside this crazy thing I still needs to buy as otherwise rental is not cheap either. Bidding is absolutely no fun. and therefore, when offering a price one needs to set boundaries based on all the risk factors.

Thank you!

I saw somewhere in this forum saying it is only for those outside Canada. If you need to travel outside Canada, just do so and email them right after you arrive the other country.

congrats! I agree the webform may not work.. It has been 20days since I raised the webform. But it is impressive that they approved right after you emailed. I saw ppl get ppr around 10-15 days after emailing.

I guess the thing is, when someone bought the home he may have intended to live in it for at least 5-10 years, and after 2-3 years he found himself gaining a lot if he sells it. There is a good chance for such story in large cities. I agree that when buying a primary residence, we should not...

I have exactly the same situation as you in 2020. I have to say how I regret that I didnt buy a property that time! I live in GTA. We have had some down payment that time and good income. With the tax we have to pay 35% of the full price (20% dp+15% nonresident tax), which limits our budget at...

I live in GTA and have a vacant basement with washroom for my quarantine. But I couldn't find a cheap flight from my home country to Toronto. On the other hand flights to Vancouver are much more affordable so I intend to book a flight to YVR. I understand that I need to stay in a GAA hotel in...
