That's why people say, "Do not play with God". You have to be 100% sure what you want before you ask Him. But I am sure God also knows what is good for you and He will make it work accordingly. I am pretty sure you will have your Visas in hand by Christmas. You can go home in Christmas break.

Sorry to hear that Despo. I thought you are not in hurry too as your wife and son are in India and India does not let you send passports by mail. May be the CIC knows your situation and they are not updating the eCAS for you. Mine changed to "Decision Made" and this is what it says when I click...

Thanks CCH and Manianz. I am planning on including the minivan in the Goods to Follow list. I will have a lot of stuff in that list. But my question is, what happens if some of the things that I have included in the list are not there when I permanently move there. For example, I will add TV in...

Hey Guys, I am planning on landing on Nov 15 through Sweetgrass/Coutts port of entry. It's a port of entry located along the Montana-Alberta border. I am planning on driving my minivan. It is financed by a bank and the title is with them. What documents (related to car) do I need to carry...

As manianz said, it is one year from the date you have done your medicals. My medical was done on Jul 15, 2009 and they have given me until Jul 15, 2010. The link below has FAQ that might be helpful and it basically says the 1 year rule is not always true so you better check your visa for the...

Looks like you just have to wait a little longer. Good luck.

Congrats mythdot! I am planning to drive to Alberta from Utah. So I will be taking I-15 North all the way to Montana-Alberta border. Reading other people's experiences on this forum, it looks like you are free to land wherever you want other than Quebec. For me, Alberta is the closest one and...

Thanks CCH, Despo, Dipen, Tapak and aNewHope for your good wishes. This forum and you guys have been great and I will be around even after I land and return to the US or settle in Alberta. I still have a lot to learn from this forum like landing, returning, settling etc. Despo was wondering...

I posted the above message eariler, but it seems like CCH is very busy. Anyway, I have a good news to share. My wife just called me and the passports are home with beautiful Canadian PR visas. I feel so much better now and can't wait to go home and see the visa. The NYC office got our passports...

CCH, Where are you? Have you checked your eCas and what does it say? Mine still says "In Process." It has NOT changed to "Decison Made" yet. I thought it should change as soon as they put visa in your passport? The reason I am freaking out is that I just entered the tracking number of my...

Nomad_Musafir, Welcome back! Glad to have you back here. Yeah it was nice to receive the PPR after a long wait (not as long as some of the guys, but I was not lucky like you). Anyway, I am still debating if we should land this November or wait until June-July next year. They should give me...

Is that e-mail from the Ottawa Medical office or from the NY Office? If it is from the NY office, looks like your PPR is on its way. Congratulations!

Despo, I hope you will have something good to let us know tomorrow when eCAS gets updated tonight. Good luck.

Karl, Just relax and drink a lot of water for next few days. Do not drink beers and sodas and if you can stop smoking for a while (if you smoke), that would help. The best thing is to relax and take it as a normal routine check up. It would help if you know what normally happens during the...

Here you go my friend, 02JUL09-AOR and Medical Request arrived 15JUL09-Medicals done of the entire family 22JUL09-Medical sent to Ottawa via DHL 23JUL09-Medical package is delivered 28JUL09-File transferred to New York from Buffalo (seen on e-CAS) 10AUG09-Received the actual letter from...

Thanks Despo, aNewHope, Venky and CCB. I guess I will have to drive on snow a bit in Alberta if I land in November. I do not mind a little bit of snow as I have been living in Utah for several years and we get quite a bit of snow here too. But it normally does not start until after Thanksgiving...

Did I have to sign the cashier's check before sending it? As far as I know, I did not have to, but getting confused right now. I had to make a few cashier's checks and money orders in the past (thanks to CIC's state PCC requirements) and one of them had to be signed before sending and I think...

Assuming they will send the passports back with visas in them, I am planning to land sometime before snow starts which could be before the US Thanksgiving. Sometimes I feel like I should wait until next year (April-May), but not sure if that is a good idea. If I land this November, I am coming...

Thanks to all of you who have congratulated me. I wish you all the very best whatever stages you are on in this race. Thanks CCB, Despo and Mani for answering my questions this morning. Thanks Sri for reminding me to include an Express Mail envelope with $17.50 stamp. I just got back from the...

A couple of questions guys before I mail our passports to New York. Thanks in advance for your time and answers. 1. Do I make ONE cashier's check for me and my wife OR do they need to be seperate for each person? 2. Do I use the height that is written in the passport OR just measure the height...
