I am in the US (west coast actually), and I sent my passport as requested two weeks ago. Am I jumping the gun here by worrying just a tiny bit that I haven't got my passport back yet? I need to make decisions on when to terminate apartment lease, give notice at work, change addresses, ect...

...Just use the "Search" area on the CIC site. http://recherche-search.gc.ca/s_r?s5t34d=cic&t3mpl1t34d=1&l7c1l3=eng Just search the Letters "ENF" For landing procedures: Document ENF 4 (Port of Entry Examinations), Section 12 (Examining foreign nationals seeking to become Permanent Residents...

Just to update everyone... E-CAS told me that a decision was made on 10/9. I got the PPR on 10/19 (e-mail through lawyer) and sent passport directly to Buffalo the same day. They got it 10/20 and I am now waiting for the passport to get back to me. Assuming I get the passport back soon, I plan...

Thats interesting being that I plan to have a one way ticket when I land in Vancouver in December, and a one way ticket to the states to pick up the rest of my belongings in Jan. Before I return home to Alberta. What would be the implications then? Do I have to obtain a return ticket for my...

Yo PMM! Can you define what "commercial vehicle" is? Does it refer to the type of passenger car you use while crossing a land border? My wife and I plan to cross into Canada with my goods to follow, including my own personal passenger car, at a land border. We are also going to have a rental...

Well aware of the car thing PPM. I already know my car is admissable. From reading these posts of others, I assume I will get a COPR as well. Will I get to keep the COPR (or a copy) as proof of landing if I do not get my PR card in time to fly back to Portland to retrive the rest of my...

I know I can not land until I get my Passport back. I will assume they will get the passport back to me by Dec 1st. Now for the tricky part... My oldest step daughter is going to be wed on Jan 2nd in Alberta. I plan to be there. With this in mind I will plan to Land in mid-December, stay at my...

Just got word...PPR has arrived and I will be sending passport to Buffalo shortly. Does anyone know... 1. How long it will take them to send the passport back? 2. What do they actually put into the passport? 3. The request says I have to send the passport to them by 12/30. Is this also the dat...

Looks like they have been processing us July-August people quick. E-CAS told me "Decision Made" on the 9th or so (I assume) of Oct. and I have yet to get word from the lawyer handling my app of any word on what that decision is. I guess it is because the CIC is in Buffalo NY and the lawyer is in...

Hey ange... Does the letter also have instructions about your passport? Do they tell you how long it takes to have you send the passport and when to expect it back?

While you are taking a chance entering multiple times, this can be positively mitigated on your end by having documents that will tell the VO that you intend to leave Canada at or before the 6 months you are granted with your Visa stamp on your passport. Documents could include your return...

From what I hear, you need to have an S.I.N. before you can look for a job in Canada. I also hear that you get items at landing to get your S.I.N. For me, I got the E-CAS "decision made" 1 week ago. Still haven't got the letter or confirmation of anything. I hope you all are right that a quick...

I believe you can travel with any amount, but if it is over 10,000 CAD you have to declare it an a special form as well as your forms that describe what belongings you are taking with you. PMM can maybe add more to this.

I am somewhat in the same boat here. I am assuming 'decision made' was done on 10/9 for me. I am in the US but because of some extra circumstances my Canadian Wife and I are using a lawyer in Canada, so the letter will be sent to the lawyer. I am hoping to hear about the hopeful letter soon, but...

So...If I come to the border with my car, and my documents, and I present the documents to them at that time, and not 72 hours before, will they have a hissy fit about it??? Will they tell me to wait 72 hours and upset my family who will be driving down to help me move up to Canada? Maybe it...

Let me get this correctly...I have to be at the border for three days when I land just to import my car? That doesn't make any sense. I actually have to be there on day one to clear US customs, then wait to land on the third day? I do not think Kingsgate, BC has any hotels/motels to accomodate this.

Just for myself, I had to come up with 8 of them. I was told that they had to be specific size (Canadian). Since the US photos are bigger than the Canadian ones, I was able to use the US size and cut them down to Canada size. So I guess at least 8 per person...maybe...

Well...being that I am 46....it's kind of a moot point then :) I still plan, later on, to look and see about my Canadian family roots. First, however, I need the PR - hopefully soon. Thanks :)

In case you all were wondering... All I have seen is E-CAS changed from "in process" to "decision made". I have yet to hear from the lawyer firm assisting me and my wife in this endeavour, since it is the place the CIC will send the "letter concerning this decision". I am hoping for a positive...

And.....if it is approved....will the CIC send some of my documents back? (I noticed that some on this froum actually did get their docs back). I also saw on this forum that a quick decision (this being 1.5 months) means everything AOK? I will find out soon enough. Any comments? Thoughts?
