Re: 2014 November Applications Yes, unfortunately the Liberals will ensure that the nation invests in as much into annoying, useless, expensive, politically-fun things as possible. I would have to imagine that NDP would have been even worse. Democracy can be annoying when the majority of...

Re: 2014 November Applications Just cross your fingers that NDP never wins or they'll undo all the progress we've made toward diminishing union presence.

Re: 2014 November Applications I estimate that 80% of my posts on this topic result from your replies. So when someone else has a problem, and I explain that their problem is common and express empathy for this situation and share their frustration, that is one post. The following five posts...

Re: 2014 November Applications I think the problem here is that you have a hard time separating my interpretation of the regulations from my dissatisfaction with the regulations. I fully understand the regulations, *but*, and here's the tricky part: I am dissatisfied with them. Shockingly...

Re: 2014 November Applications It'd be even more frustrating when you bring in a letter from an employer, then they notice you're type 27 and they refuse you anyway because you don't have a *real* work permit. What's even more ridiculous is that sometime you can get a clerk that is so dumb...

Any PR cards received recently? For the first time in my life we got a moron at the border who was all bamboozled by the landing paper stating we were PR instead of the actual physical PR card. Also, is there any way to determine if you were actually approved by OHIP, or is the notification...

Wait time for renewing a card is 182 days, and the time to issue first time cards is 52 days. They're working on renewals submitted in July. So I guess what they meant when they chalked the delay up to the "Holiday rush" is that people in July, literally as far from the Holiday season as the...

Every guide you've ever seen is meaningless without someone interpreting it. Bringing in a guide or a printout from a webpage that says that you require exactly what CIC says you have means less than nothing unless the person at the desk buys into it, that's why every single guide or resource...

Existing in this process for all these months has taught me that there is a large fuzzy gray area starting at the beginning and ending 3-months after PR is granted. Work permits, study permits, refugee status, job offers, letters from the principle, vague, randomly worded letters from CIC that...

Finally tricked them. Victory at last.

That would make the most sense... but my expectations were low. Thanks!

Does anyone know what kind of timeline I can expect out of getting an OHIP card? For example, assuming that I've finally tricked the clerks at OHIP in to giving us coverage, and they put a certain date that coverage will begin on, does that mean we'll actually have a card by that date? If my...

Apparently Atanto landed September 14th. Going by previous posts. So it looks like PR cards are taking roughly 49 days.

Does anyone know if this website is accurate for PR card arrival? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp

If you just log into my ECas, my wife's status is "Application Received", but she's landed already. If I log into her's, her status shows that she's landed. You might not get any information at all, ever.

What really doesn't make sense is that spouses of foreign skilled workers get in immediately, and spouses of skilled Canadian workers get in after the cows come home.

Yep, that's how Canada rolls. You should get your AIP in June 2016, or maybe it'll get worse and you'll have to wait till 2017.

Zion has a failed refugee claim and a conditional discharge. They are both likely working against him. The conditional discharge isn't a conviction, but it is an arrest and a verdict of guilt, but supposedly is without punishment provided the "conditions" are met.

Call center is useless. Even if they're nice. They can't request a document to be re-sent unless it is outstanding for 40 days. Also, it takes about a month for the agents to address a request from a call center agent. I talked to the call center about my missing AIP, and they found that the...

Do all of the following: 1. Order Notes. 2. Call the CIC Call Center. They are useless and won't help you, they'll probably even tell you that you need to wait another 10 months to be allowed to ask. 3. Call the CIC Call Center again. Try again a few times. 4. Contact your local MP's office...
