So I am currently waiting for my landing interview date to be sent to me, but doing my homework in the meantime. I am landing in Winnipeg, and it seems that most land within 30 days from receiving their DM. However, I am flying to the U.S. to visit my parents for Christmas (they are selling my...

A letter from your family stating that would help. Even having a doctor's appointment or something that would require your attention in the U.S. sometime in the future would be a benefit. I'm not sure if it is red flagged tbh. haha :)

Well you'd want the COPR as you're the person who'll need it as your the one going for PR

I would advise Outland as well. My wife and I chose inland for one important reason though: - when we applied, 1st stage approval was 6months, and I applied for an open work permit with my app, and suspected I would be able to work after 6 months. However, the 6 months time was changed to 11...

Grats!

I can't comment on all of your questions. But at the border, they wanna know that you have ties to the US and won't disappear into Canada illegally. Informing them of your home in Texas (where you have either rent or mortgage payments) should suffice for a tie to the US. You can also inform them...

congrats on your landing date! i wanted to express to you guys how truly communal this place is. out of all the people i broke the news to about our process, those who reacted the best were my wife, and you all. most have no idea what this is like, and have a hard time understanding the...

Hang in there! The days is still young! Oh, I don't know then. Sorry.

Will I get a landing date in the mail or by email? What happens if I can't go on the date they give me? What do they ask me?

I got stuck on this as well. I chose the third one, then wrote out an explanation that I am applying for an OWP and that I have an inland app going (provide those details). I wrote the form number on the top, signed it and stapled it to the form. CIC sees this a lot, and that is a general form...

And honestly, I, the person being sponsored, did about 99% of the app and I just had my wife sign, fill-in and read where she needed to. Yep, can do 100% of the app from Canada.

Heya esthersun, Your husband could have applied for OWP back with the original application. He can apply anytime actually, but couldn't have been granted the OWP until after the AIP was received. So get him to apply and should go through no problem, be sure to reference your app of course.

HAHA those two quotes are great back to back! Exactly 59minutes apart. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CIC churning things out left and right.

do you think they'd schedule an interview between dec 23rd and jan 3rd? we're visiting family outside of Manitoba. do people reschedule? rocking the boat is the LAST thing i would want to do of course. how soon will we be contacted? ACK my mind is racing still!

@ anndreea: HOLY COW! Just this morning you were wishing me congrats and hoping for good news on your end. Now you are one AIP and one DM closer to PR!!!! congrats. question: how long does it usually take from DM letter to interview date? also, is there a list of typical interview...

wow. thank you for your tears of joy, crazy how powerful this stuff is. this is tragic, tragic, tragic. I don't understand how things like this can happen. i know my words can offer little comfort, but i am sending positive thoughts your way, and hope you get a joyful return for all this...

hahaha, well played. thank you! you'd think! but she forgot her phone and doesn't get access to a comp until lunch! the joy-trap will be sprung. :) i'm breaking it down over here as well ;)
