everybody goes through this process. it is a few minutes that are not nice at all for both male and female. you can request female nurse present during examination. Maybe these contact details will help if you want to make official complaint. Good luck. In Canada Operations Directorate Mail...

if your name matches someone in Canada with a criminal record, then you may receive request for RCMP when CIC are doing your background check. I didn't get one but some people I know did. We both have PR now. Nothing to worry about except maybe a small delay in your application.

Now that you have landed, don't worry about eCAS :D. Best news is that PR card processing time has changed from 88 days to 59 days just recently ;D. I don't think you can check individual cases for processing times.

CEC

It's the statutory questions on the RHS of the form. You just tick the yes/no boxes.

It's just your natural signature they request, whatever way you sign everyday. Everything else on the form is typed.

I was asked for Sch A and did not answer Yes to statutory questions. I believe the Sch A is for an update of info (new job, address change) since your application was submitted and also to acquire a genuine signature as opposed to an electronic one (for comparison) when you sign your CoPR. Just...

Yes you can enter with CoPR, visa, passport.

This is a continual glitch for people who have declined an ITA. CIC do know your revised score and you are okay to continue with the new ITA.

upfront police check from Canada is not required but may be requested at a later date

your personal checklist shows up when you complete the forms

check again in a few hours time, you should be able to pay then. It has happened to a few people including myself. Take a screenshot of the page if you do not get it submitted in time due to this fault/glitch. It will prove you tried to pay before your time was up. Good luck.

yes, passport/visa/CoPR. You may be asked what your status was when you left Canada and if you worked after your work permit expired. Just be prepared with an answer. Congrats on your PR!

they don't charge $100 processing fee at Port of Entry

You don't need a work permit to 'land' but if you are in Canada you need some status and you should stop working. :(

It is expected that circumstances may change after submitting an application. The schedule A is the last step for most people before PPR. CIC should not ask for updated police checks at this stage in your application. As for your new employment, you did not include it in your profile, therefore...
