Hi there. I got my passport back with my visa stamped. Just wanted to say thank you for all these people helping each other. I'm really glad we found this forum. Good luck to everybody who's still waiting. And maybe see you in Vancouver.

Thanks for the answers. Unfortunately I don not have a HR education. I got a business management education and I am working as a recruiter for temporary work and it doesn't require any HR-certificates. Also I only worked in this job for 2 years so I guess I won't qualify. But I got a decent...

Thanks for the advise. Now I understand why it could be a disadvantage to send those reference letters. As said in Switzerland it's completely different, I am working as a recruiter in Switzerland right now and here it is weird to not have reference letters. Of course a reference letter is...

Hi there I have posted this under "finding work in Canada" but it seems like that part of the forum doesn't get a lot of attention.... Since I got my PR and am flying into Vancouver by the end of October I am starting to apply for jobs soon. And here's my question: My wife is Canadian, I am...

Yay! I just got an e-mail request for my passport to stamp the visa!! so happy! Any experience with Paris on how long it takes them to stamp the visa and send the passport back?

Hi there My wife is Canadian, I am Swiss. In Switzerland you get a reference letter from every employer and it is necessary to include every single one in your application. If you leave one out people will think that you have left the employer on bad terms or something else is wrong. Since I am...

Now that's something usefull. Saves me a lot of trouble! Thank you eletyl!

Hi there Through this forum I found out that the updates on the ECAS system are made on Tuesdays. However I don't know what time on Tuesdays - if there even is a specific time. Today is Tuesday in Switzerland, however it's not Tuesday in Canada, yet. Does anyone know if there is a specific time...

I'm no expert but I have submitted my application through Paris and I had to provide criminal records of all the countries I've lived in for more than 6 months except Canada. As I understand it they have access to your Canadian criminal records and therefore it's not necessary to provide the...

Thanks for the answers.

Hello there. Can someone pls confirm that this means I will get the visa in the next few weeks? They stated in their last letter that the visa is ready to be issued as soon as RPRF is paid and medical results have been received. They have received the medical results and we have made the...

ok, thanks. Would you advise to wait with quitting jobs (3 months notice)? As far as I understand there's basically nothing that could stop them from giving me the PR, right? The plan is to keep working until the end of October and move to Canada in Mid-December...

I was shocked to hear 2 months. I thought it's normal to pay the final payment at the end. Just to clarify I am talking about the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). Thank you for the quick answers.

Hi there. We got a letter on June 17th, saying that CIC is happy to announce that my permanent residence will be issued as soon as they received the final payment and medical results. We've made the payment and when I checked online two days later it stated that they have received the medical...

Hi there We are applying from Switzerland and have sent our application in the beginning of February. Last week we got a letter saying that the visa is ready to be issued as soon as the final payment and medical exam gets in. We have made the final payment and have submitted the medical with...

Hi there Sponsors from BC My wife is from Vancouver BC, too and we're gonna move back there by the end of the year. Right now we are living in Switzerland and after submitting the application for family sponsor in the beginning of February we got a letter last week already saying the visa is...

Hello there I got a letter last week saying that my visa is ready to be issued (yay! much faster than expected) as soon as the final payment and medical exam is received. We made the payment. However I did the medical exam already in January (before sending the application for family...

Hi there Does anyone know how much time you get to move to Canada once the visa gets approved? We are applying now for the Visa. If it takes 11 months we would be ready to leave right away after getting approved. However if the process wouldn't take that long we probably would prefer to stay...

Thanks for the help!

Hi There seems to be some confusion about where we should send our application. We are living in Switzerland and applying from here. We are pretty sure that we need to send everything to Paris (my medical examination form is already on the way there). However we've had some conflicting...
