    Congrats, @kc247 ! Do you mind sharing your updated timeline please? Also, how much time do they give you for sending them the copy of the PA's passport and return label? Is it 30 days? Thanks in advance, and congrats again!

    Soft landing over Christmas & then returning to US

    Hmm... this is news to me too. I always thought there is some maximum amount of time a permanent resident can travel out of the country, or they may risk being denied for re-entry. I suppose you're saying this isn't true? So, once a permanent resident "lands" in Canada but leaves shortly...
