Thanks for starting this thread, hope others share their experiences as the wait is quite nervewracking This is my situation to date According to on line status, my pr application was received April 18, 2013, started processing May 28, approved July 10. So far 85 days total and haven't heard...

an update on my pr card application: Although I neglected to write N/A in a few places, my application has been approved HOORAY according to the website which I was able to access using my on line payment #. I guess they are not as strict as they make out to be My timeline: App. sent April...

I always ask for a stamp on my passport lately whenever I travel or re-enter Canada even though border entry is scanned. The agent is happy to do it and this will help with future residency renewals

After much research , I have concluded that it is better to send as much supporting documents as possible with the application as long as they are well organised. I attached bank statements, employment records, cbsa record, frequent flyer statement. This could only help the decision and might...

I got on the quick shuttle in seattle to vancouver where the bus driver scans your passport before you board to speed up processing at the boarder. Was in a dilemma as to if I should enter as a visitor or a PR with landing paper and US passport as I had overstayed my last visit to attain PR...

Finally decided to cross back into Canada by bus as I'm not much of a driver to rent a car. All my months of worry about getting interrogated and reported were unfounded. Just showed my Us passport, BC ID card and told them I was a PR and showed my landing paper,was never asked where was my PR...

Thanks Msafiri, for helping me to understand my options but the call center supervisor explained I would go thru more rigorous secondary questioning at POE if I enter by commercial carrier. I have the necessary RO with documentation but after a long plane trip would rather not be grilled for...

Recently asked this forum if I would be able to return to Canada with Landing Document , US passport, and supporting proof of PR obligation days and the replies were that once I have visa exempt status, I could be admitted at POE with a commercial carrier, as long as I have proof of time spent...

Thanks for your wise advice. I will try to relax while awaiting reply. As my application will most likely be returned as incomplete, do they usually return it for necessary corrections? Any idea if the original application date would still be the same in regards to calculating for the qualifying...

Thanks Senorita Bella, I don't have a tracking # as yet as the PR card application was just sent in last week. I have noticed more errors, like not writing N/A in blanks. I will try to send in amended application with cover letter explaining. Any one else with this problem?

Was your application not sent back?

Can I send in additional info one week after my PR card application has been sent in? I neglected to write N/A on application in questions that don't apply to me. I was hoping to rectify this mistake if at all possible

Anyone get their application returned for not writing N/A in the questions that don't apply to you?

I am applying for PR card, my first one after landing in 1974. Haven't received a tracking # as yet only tracking # from Canada Post Courier. Just sent in application last week. When and how do they usually send you a tracking #.Is it sent to your email address you give them on your application...

Finally sent off my PR application with all the required documents. I had to include certified originals of name change docs as needed but I now realize I checked off all my document but neglected to check off NAME CHANGE DOCUMENTS on the Document checklist, although they were enclosed. Might...

thanks Leon, I don't want to be reported and technically I would need a travel document to reenter as a PR without a PR card. Perhaps I could return as a visitor and if queeried, tell them further I am coming in to await the decision and or appointment.

So should I return as a visitor or PR?
