Hola Kstamp, I didn't hired a lawyer, and I am glad I didn't waste my money. Even if money would not be an issue for you, I wouldn't advise it. For what I have read in various parts of this forum, hiring a lawyer does not makes it a much more speedy process. Many people here in the forum are...

Hi all, I also want to join everyone here to also say THAN YOU to all the people that with their comments and advice have made possible that I understood many things in this process. I was so happy when I discovered the forum, and have benefit from the experience and encouragement of other...

I probably sent between 10 to 20 photos, representing different times and events.

Thanks CANzanillo! Me and my husband will do our best to be there! It will be a pleasure to meet all!

Hi all, I also was told that I would be getting my PR card in 8 weeks when I landed last October, it actually took 108 days to arrive, including mailing time.

Ho extreme001, My ECAS never show "in progress" for when Cnada was processing my PR card. I received my card 108 days after I landed. Since you are not visa-exempt in Canada, after you have landed, you can only travel with your COPR (and your passport), between the US and Canada, by land.

Yes, with the SIN number that ayrazar mentions, you can work without having to wait for your PR card. You will need to present your COPR to obtain your SIN.

No, you don't make an appointment. You just arrive either at an airport or border crossing, and tell the immigration officer that you are landing. They will direct who to talk to, there is a mini-interview, they ask you very few questions, and you need to provide them a mailing address in...

Hi Jbodden, Oh, what a case I am!...I forgot that the Mexico visa office handdles the PR cases for a number of countries. Sorry this news will not help you, but I hope your process goes very smooth and fast!

If it is helpful, taking into account the issue date, mine took about a week to be delivered.

Hi, The Goverment of Canada announced that it will remove the visit visa requirements for Mexicans (follow link below). I don't know when that will be in effect. It may not be soon enought to favor you, but it is good news anyway...

I have seen this announced in the Mexican newspaper El Universal (link below), although nothing is said about when it will be in effect. I haven't seen any announcement at CBC News. http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/articulo/english/2016/01/29/canada-will-remove-visa-requirements-mexicans

Hi all, Well, after posting earlier today that I had not yet received my card...my card came in the mail this afternoon. Yeahh! Good look to everyone!

I landed on October 12, and have not yet received my card either.

Sorry nanniehn, I though you already had received your COPR. Mine was valid for one year from the date issued. My medical exam was expiring about the time they issued my COPR, and my passport valid for a number of years.

Hi nanniehn, the COPR paperwork received with the passport indicates the "issued date", and "valid to" date in the section APPLICATION DETAILS. You are supposed to land prior to the "valid to" date. Cheers!

No, the Mexican Police Clearance Certificate is required towards the end of the process. The instructions say that you must wait until receiving a request from CIC/Visa office to send it. The deal is that the "Constancia de Datos Registrales," as it is called in México, has a one month validy...

CANzanillo, Thanks for this suggestion! This information looks really useful and informative about the process. I didn't request notes, but I think I should. Saludos, Abuelita

Good news! Yes, the PGR gives you a letter in Spanish, and you need to have it translated by a certified translator, but I didn't had mine notarized, and I had no problem. Abuelita

Great! Congratulations! Thanks for letting us know. I am still waiting for mine, I keep seeing that the CIC webpage indicates that is taking longer and longer (number of days) to issue one, but I am now hopeful that I will be getting mine soon.
