Like our friend said, the trick only works for the airliner/coach agents. At the port of entry you must satisfy the officer that you are a permanent resident of Canada. In the absence of a valid PR card, you are deemed a foreign national unless proven otherwise. This means that you should at...

other countries aren't interested in your PR card, so you can travel to where ever you wish with or without it ;) If you've already landed and you want to travel, have your CoPR with you when you come back. Also bear in mind that commercial flights won't let you travel without a PR card (unless...

Of course the agent would say no! But really, the only other "instruction" in CIC's passport request letter would be your obligation to inform them of any changes to your family/marital status before sending your passport. It's up to you to take the risk or not, but in my opinion, the worst...

If you're using Canada Post Xpresspost service, you need to write the PO Box address. Alternatively, you could buy a pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post and send it along with your passport and a copy of CIC's instructions with a more reliable courier to the other address provided...

If the call centre agent confirmed that the passport request has been sent to you, I would just send my passport regardless, with a short note saying "I haven't received the email that you sent me on May 27, but the CIC has confirmed, over the phone, that you have requested for my original...

DA20220 is not a Visa Officer; s/he's a program assistant.

That's CIC Call Centre. The agents have access to your electronic file. But it's not CPC-O's number.

BTW what did you mean by "calling" cpc-o? they didn't have a public phone number as far as I can recall!

When medical and security are passed, your file is reviewed by the officer who approved your eligibility and criminality. Then the officer makes a final decision (=approval).

As other members mentioned, your file will be assessed on the basis of the Ministerial Instructions in place at the time of submission which means your work experience while you were a full-time student will be taken into account. I'm not surprised that your immigration consultant has provided...

1. Phone the CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242‑2100. 2. E-mail is always more efficient, but if you clearly wrote your case number and UCI on your documents when you put them in the mail, they must have received them. 3. They normally read your emails, but they reply very selectively. You might never...

You'll be fine. It is up to you when to land as an immigrant. You can tell the border officer that you would like to land later on with your family.

valid and “accurate” advice, though this has been discussed on this forum many times in the past: So, if we forget about Canadian see borders with Russia, Norway, and Denmark in the Arctic, Canada shares borders only with the States. If you wish to use to your immigrant visa to land at a port...

If you're e-mailing the receipt, you don't need to fill it out. If you're mailing it, you might as well write those details, it won't hurt.

Their website must have all the information you need, and yes you should appear in person.

Once they ask for your passport, they'll issue an Immigrant Visa for you. You can use that visa to re-enter Canada and land as an immigrant. Once you land as an immigrant, you become a permanent resident and eligible for a PR card. So yeah, if you have your immigrant visa in you passport before...

I'm assuming for some reason you have a valid study permit but not a valid TRV. In that case, CIC says you should apply for a new visa only after you receive your new permit, and not simultaneously. (that makes sense, because people in CPC-Ottawa who will issue your new visa need to base their...

Right. If you know you're not sick and your doctor didn't tell you about anything anomalous, that line means you're done with the medical admissibility. If that line doesn't appear, though, it doesn't mean anything because sometimes they just don't update your ecas.

I know these details because I am a Cantaloupe! I hope this satisfied your curiosity :P

Canada and a couple other countries (mainly the USA) have agreements for info sharing. Don't worry about such things, they won't start making phone calls to ask around about you lol
