The certificate contains a translation, the bottom part is automatically in English.

I applied upfront. Uploaded it in the appropriate section. Later I got a request for a Canadian PCC (since I had lived there for up to two years as well, however, the Canadian PCC was not part of the first personalized checklist). I am not sure about pick up. They just mailed it to my Dutch...

Hi. I am from the Netherlands. Not sure if it is different for citizens, but I received my Good Conduct Certificate within two weeks. Mind you: mail services are very unreliable nowadays, so it might be best if your friend just scans it and then sends it to you (you need to upload it digitally...

Hi Everyone, I landed on January 6th at Carway, AB. Today (February 22nd) I received my PR card in the mail. :) Total days, including mailing (from Sydney, Nova Scotia to Edmonton, AB) is 47. Good luck! It's a wonderful feeling to have the whole process complete and to hold the proof in your...

Just please note that I don't know if my extension would have been approved..... since I withdrew it before they started processing my application for a visitor extension (because I became PR in the mean time). Just sharing my experience and what I have done in that same scenario.

sorry, I meant the processing time for an ONLINE application is 40 days at this time.

Hi. I received my PR after six months and two days (Express Entry CEC Outland). My visitor status would expire on January 7th 2017, so I applied for a Visitor Extension on Dec 6th 2016(you have to apply 30 days before your status expires). I had a vacation planned to Holland on January 29th...

Hi. I had the same problem: my status as a visitor would expire, so I applied for an extension. My PR application (via Express Entry) was still pending at that time. Once my PR application got approved, I withdrew my application for visitor extension. This was no problem. However, the one...

Hi Nanha, I have no experience with the Super Visa. However, I have applied for a Visitor Visa a couple of times myself and I think you would certainly qualify. When I was visiting my husband, we provided the following to CIC: - his paystubs - bank account info for me, him and his parents -...

Hi Ben, Yes, your docs should arrive in the next couple of days. As long as you don't officially start work until you land, you should be ok! No reason not to continue the hiring process I would think.

I had reference letters in Dutch. I contacted my previous employers and asked them to write me one in English. Two of them asked me to help them do this, which I did. They then signed it and printed if off on company letterhead. This way, you don't need to get it translated. It is also a nice...

Which documents are you referring to specifically?

Hi, I obtained my educational credentials and other documents in the Netherlands. Institutions are usually willing to help if you explain your situation. I would do both: 1 ) have original copies (even if they are in foreign language) AND translated copies signed by University or other...

I did both. I included the letter of reference from two years ago and asked the same previous employer to write a new one to confirm the times I worked for them. If you left on good terms, this should not be a problem :)

Hi Ben. The time for me between Final Request and COPR in the mail was about two weeks (from inside Canada). Of course it depends on how fast you sent the required documents to CIC. I landed two days after I received COPR at the border with USA :)

I did not submit a birth certificate for myself in my CEC Express Entry application (and my application has been approved). I am from the Netherlands. Not sure if it differs per country, but I can't imagine it would. However, I did have to submit a copy of my husbands' birth certificate, to...

Hi Ben. Congratulations! This is the last step. You will receive the Confirmation of Permanent Residence by mail. You will then have to make an appointment at a CIC office, or cross the border to let an immigration officer sign your COPR and stamp your passport. Once you've done that, your PR...

Application fee is $490, and Right of Permanent Residence fee is another $490 I believe. So together that makes about $1000, correct?

Hi, I think your estimate of 3k is quite accurate. Fees (1050), language test (300), medicals (250), criminal record checks and all the other forms (pictures, marriage license, courier costs) really add up. The upside is that you dont have to show proof of funds for CEC. However, it is still...

If your passport will expire within six months from the day you apply, you should renew it. Then, update your passport information in your application. This will make sure it is valid when we process your application. Information above can be found on CIC website. Good luck!
