Congrats Canada_2010,sit back and enjoy!

I am glad I never got asked for that,I have never heard of a certified Concrete finisher in Scotland,or anywhere else in the world but Canada. My employer did mention in my letter that I did have plenty of years of experience though which I am guessing helped.

You could be facing a ban of 2-5 years I'm afraid to say. You should have contacted CIC like the poster above said,I know it's easier said than done,especially when relying upon the employer to keep you employed to gain the CEC experience.

Me too,there is still a slim chance that if a CIC office monkey manages to hit that 'print' button I could have my COPR for Easter weekend! I'm not holding my breath on that though lol.

Indeed you can,but it can take 10 days-2 months to get an appointment at a CIC office,whereas you can drive to the border at any time pretty much. My TWP would expire before I managed to get an appointment,plus I have worked 6 and 7 day weeks for pretty much the past 23months so I feel that I...

I had DM on ECAS on 24th March,I called CIC on Wed and was told it's a positive decision which made me happy,but they had not sent the COPR,I called again on Friday 27th March just to see if COPR had been posted as 3rd April is a holiday Friday so I would have had a long weekend to drive from...

They will be tired from clicking the 'YES' button on several applications last week,its CIC they need to take a wee break for a week or two now lol.

The CIC guy I spoke with said to leave the BOWP application in place for just now just in case I don't get COPR and activate PR before 20th April,I think we will get it,its not hard to click print and post a piece of paper lol. From what I gather I can cancel the BOWP application once I get the...

My application took 10 1/2 months to process up to decision made,just waiting on the COPR letter now (UK citizen). Everyones case is different though,a guy I work with applied 6 weeks before me and hasn't even had MR yet,another 2 guys applied a week after I did,they have not had MR yet...

I would call CIC and ask,better to be safe than sorry!

I called CIC again today to check if my COPR had been mailed yet seeing as decision was made and updated on ECAS on Tuesday,I fancied going to Montana for Easter weekend to activate our PR seeing as I have the Friday off anyway,they still have not mailed it. I should be patient after waiting 12...

As far as I know truckers don't qualify for CEC.

Lol damn straight it's a day I will NEVER forget! I spent yesterday morning very happy,then the afternoon and start of my nightshift in shock lol,it has sunk in now and I am happy about it now,thankfully Alberta healthcare covers most things,and my workers union covers anything else.

No! You cannot claim ANY expenses from PR costs,not for PR,not for medicals,not for CELPIPS,IELTS,police certs,plane tickets,rent,visa's or anything at all related to PR or coming to Canada.

Mine came just in time,found out today the missus is pregnant lol.

CIC told me today on the phone it can take up to 1 month. I am hoping that my COPR arrives next week for convenience as next weekend is a long weekend,ideal for a trip down to Montana.

No live trace means there is no criminal record,my record said the same thing,and they accepted a copy of my UK police report for a firearms license! I called CIC today to check on the decision that had been made on my PR,it's positive although the COPR has not yet been posted,typical I'll bet...

I doubt it. My missus done the medicals with a cyst the size of a grape on her cheek and nothing was mentioned.

Thanks Sylar!

Holy heck,just checked my status like I do EVERY day,pretty much like all you guys do I'm guessing haha. I noticed this line in ECAS now :) A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision. Better be PR approved! I only emailed them full...
