NOPE! you should have either your pr card or travel document with you when you enter canada again. CoPR can be used but only when youre travelling between US and canada with non-commercial vehicle.

I thought they didn't send PR card to an overseas address ::) Do you have someone checking your inbox in canada? Well, you can call the call centre to see if they have any record of it. I've seen ppl whose PR card was lost in transit. If that's the case, you might have to ask for another card.

well if you wanna travel in the meantime/ wanna change your passport now, you can :D i called cic call centre last month or so (i still had time to change my name on passport but not for PR card) i asked if i can travel with my old PR card and new passport while im waiting for the new PR card...

was it a paid vacation? if so, you can apply on March 4th. but if you werent paid during your vacation, it wont count towards your experience and you will have to apply after April 4th.

congrats!! :D I am also considering a legal name change! i didnt realize how long the processing time for the 2nd card was lol its a good thing that you can still travel with your old PR card in the meantime again congratulations and hope the rest of us hears a good new too :)

yeah, i dont think there is a medical category for CEC or PR in general :) just gotta use worker instead. Also, I would scan the information sheet and email it to cic, just to be safe.

if they didnt even look at her passport, how would they even know who she is and whether she had an administrative refusal or not? it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me yeah, okay. maybe itll be different from agent to agent. i guess my friend was lucky?! i dont need a visa to go to US so...

i do not agree with you. my friend didnt have a US visa so she just went to US border and told them she was there to do landing. they didnt even look at her passport, gave her a slip and explained to her how to get back to canadian side.

yes and no. for example, i did upfront medical and i never received a medical request from cic but ive seen ppl who also did upfront medical and still received a MR. so it is really different from case to case. at the end, it doesnt make much difference to your case as long as you inform cic...

that is horrible!!! the date on CoPR is one of the most important information on it!!!!!!! well, that is the date you officially became a PR and they use that date to file your new SIN, health card, etc. does that mean they dont consider you as a PR yet or that everything is on file and they...

i havent done a regular medical so im not so sure but was there a piece of paper with your UMI on it? if so, then scan that document and email it to cic

once you finish upfront medical, they give you a piece of paper with UMI on it. scan it and email to CIC ;)

i dont know if this applies to your case, but even if youve work over 30 hrs/week, you cant count as extra week. lets say you work 45 hrs/week at company A, it would not make 1.5 week. it is still a week worth experience.

not an issue. CEC doesnt require you to stay in Canada.

a reference letter is essential but so are T4 and NOA (notice of assessment)! you need a proper document proving you filed your tax (and they can tell if you were self employed or not). so, nope. a reference letter alone isnt sufficient enough.

For CEC, you can't be self employed. So to me, if you work in private settings, it sounds like you'll be self employed and you won't be qualified for CEC. If you are working for someone else, your employer can write you a reference letter with working hour and other necessary info and you can...

you can use the company letter and your pay stub to verify 2014 work experience.

MR can happen before or after eligibility assessment. unfortunately, there is no solid step by step rule. it is up to VOs

they ask you to select the visa office but all CEC application is processed at ottawa so dont worry ;) but you should inform them about the address change. best of luck for the rest of process!

its now called "Case Processing Centre: Ottawa" but yes, you should put ottawa
