Is it just me, or has CBSA stopped stamping passports for PRs re-entering Canada? The last time I flew back to Canada, they didn't even look at my passport. They only scanned my PR card and let me through. Is this normal? I ask because I am worried that might be a problem when I am interviewed...

Thank you for the replies, that's very helpful. My original is not with IRCC though, it's with the Quebec ministry. But I think I will send my copy anyway. I don't think I can go through the hassle of doing the exam again!

Here is my question: when I applied for PR, I did a language test for PEQ (a Quebec programme). They took the certificate of my test results and never returned it to me. I still have a photocopy of the certificate. Do you think it would be a good idea to send in the photocopy for my citizenship...

It was regular mail.

I just received my card in the mail today! The design is slightly different from my old card. The photo is much bigger, maybe that's why they have been strict about photo requirements. Another new thing is that they sent me a "travel journal" for me to keep track of my travel dates for...

Yes, I was at DM for a few days before. It looks like I have been very lucky compared to other applicants who sent in their applications at around the same time as me. My application was in French, I don't know whether it made a difference.

I have been checking ecas everyday; status changed to complete this morning! I am so relieved. I wish everyone good luck with their wait. We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 7, 2018. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on...

It was a normal renewal.

I just received AOR last night and here are the updates on ecas. We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 7, 2018. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on November 14, 2018. We started processing your application on November 14...

Hi, I sent in my PR card renewal application in early September. Still no AOR obviously. But I just realized that I forgot to include a photocopy of my current PR card. What should I do? Should I wait for my application to be returned and send in a new application? But that won't happen probably...

Hi guys, Does anyone know what are the procedures for PRs to get married in Canada (I am in Quebec)? The spouse is a Canadian. I know that a birth certificate for each party is needed. Do I need other special documents? I would love to hear about your experiences! Thanks.

Thank you for the response. I have already met the language requirement when I got my CSQ through PEQ. Anything else I should pay attention to? Cheers.

Hello fellas, I am a landed PR since 2013 (via the programme PEQ) and I will be eligible to apply for citizenship once the 3/5 rule kicks in. My question is: how different is the citizenship application from the PR counterpart? What exactly will the officers be checking, other than the number...

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Dear all, When applying for a PR card renewal, are additional documents of proof of residence in Canada compulsory? It says on the official website that one of the additional document is Photocopies of all pages of all passports you held in the past five (5) years (if your stamps are not in...

My PR card arrived today; I landed on Nov 2. Good luck to everyone else!

Congradulations! When did you receive it exactly?

Thank you for all the replies. It's reassuring to hear them. My main worry now is whether the airline will give me any troubles. I am having a return ticket into Canada. Will they ask me for tickets out of Canada? Should I buy a cheap ticket just in case?

Wiring money with banks tends to involve fees and unfavourable rates. I have used a company called Canadian Forex. The rate is pretty good if you are transferring a good amount of money.

Hi guys, Here is my problem. I have landed in November and I am travelling outside of Canada next week. It doesn't look like my PR card will arrive on time, so I am wondering what my options are. I was told that urgent PR card processing is not available for newly landed immigrant. Applying...
