I left it over the border this time for the 72 hours and it worked out fine on my second try :P Got the paperwork done, now just waiting for the RIV people to get back to me with instructions to take it in for a federal inspection.

Yeah, I was turned away, and really can't wait any longer so I just left it in Buffalo Friday night. Seriously praying it will still be there when I go to pick it up again haha

Yes that's exactly what I meant, sorry for the confusion x) It 8 weeks still an accurate timeline of how long it takes? We are moving around the 8 week mark so I don't know if I should risk it making it here in time or call them and give the new address and risk it coming there too early lol. I...

That's interesting! Didn't know there would be a PR card line. I'm worried, we are moving literally at the 8 week mark after I landed and I hope the PR card arrives before we leave or else I'm screwed :/

6 days only, I think. Well maybe 5 technically? If I'm remembering correctly, they sent the COPR out on September 25th and I received it October 1. But I didn't see a DM until the 26th, so it was already in the mail one day when I saw DM. Does that make sense? haha

Aww, I just logged into ECAS for the first time in a while to see what it says. I have a new line: 4. [My Name] entered Canada at Fort Erie Peace Bridge on October 5, 2015 and became a Permanent Resident. Makes me so happy to see :D I don't think I ever got a line saying they sent me...

Congrats Panamai!!!! I'm stressed as hell, went to the border today to try to export my car US ---> Canada but they wouldn't let me because it has to be in the US for 72 hours first?? So I literally have to dump my car in a parking lot somewhere in Buffalo and pray it doesn't get towed/stolen...

Thanks Dave.

Yaaaay! I've been rooting for you!

Hooray!! So happy for you, Edin!

Thanks guys. I'll go ahead and apply for that ASAP then and see what happens :P

You applied for OHIP (assuming you're in Ontario)? Does anyone know if we can apply for that right away? I was told at the border I can't apply for OHIP until I've been a PR for 3 months, but on the official application, it says nothing about that.

You will be fine submitting it later. I submitted my medical about 2 months after I applied and everything worked out just fine.

Congrats to everyone with a DM, and batch request too! For those asking to compare to others' timelines, I received the intent to reside letter July 30 and had a DM September 26, so about 2 months. I never received a second batch letter asking about police checks. My COPR only took 6 days to...

This is a standard email, nothing to worry about. I got the same email and got a DM about 2 months later. Just send them any proof you have of Canadian residence. I sent things like my sponsor's employment letter, T4, pay statements, proof our condo purchase, etc. A lot of it I already sent...

Lmao, sir!! Well I'm glad email proved to be useful. The call centre agents really have no clue what they're talking about. I swear they just make things up when they don't know instead of admitting they don't know, which does no one any good.

Congrats to you!! I got my COPR in 6 days. Won't be long for you now!

No updates, just DM. I was able to call the call centre though and confirmed for me that it was an approval and told me when the COPR was mailed out, so give that a shot if you are curious? Ooh, what country were you born in? Why'd yours go to Ottawa?

Congrats o6ocpaka!!! COPR will be there soon! Jamsham, I feel like you are single-handedly paying all of the salaries of the CIC employees with how many notes you order, lol! I hope they get to yours soon.

Haha, thank you! :) I will keep my fingers crossed that yours is approved soon!
