    Do you get a stamp on your passport for PCC when you submit to BLS?

    I got my previous PCC 2 years back, before coming to Canada. I had done that in person in Bangalore, and my passport has a stamp on it saying "PCC issued for Canada" by the superintendent at the RPO in Bangalore. Now, if I were to submit my passport to BLS-Toronto for PCC, would I also get a...

    Mailed passport for TRV stamping with my new PGWP...how long does it take?

    I sent my passport for TRV stamping last week, and my return envelop tracking number has not been activated yet. To those who've already been through this process, how many days did it take for you to get your passport back from CPP-Ottawa?

    I just received my nomination certificate. Should I apply for PR immediately?

    My issue is that I do not have any immediate family living in Bangalore (or India, for that matter)...but can you tell me what exactly type of documents you used, and what your family did to get your PCC processed? I have a cousin in a different city...so I was thinking maybe I could ask him to...

    Which immigration office should I write in my PR application? [urgent]

    Great. It looks like CPP-Ottawa is now referred to as CPC-Ottawa, just for future applicants. This is the mailing address: Case Processing Centre – Ottawa 219 Laurier Avenue West, 7th floor, section B Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1L1 Canada

    Which immigration office should I write in my PR application? [urgent]

    I had initially put CIO-Sydney, Nova Scotia, but it seems this is not correct. I'm in Toronto...which immigration office should I write, and what is its address? I checked online and it appears this is CPC-Ottawa...but I also see references to "CPP-Ottawa"...so I'm confused.

    Should I travel to Bangalore to get my PCC instead of with BLS? I'm in Toronto.

    Can anyone who got their PCC recently tell me how long the PCC process took them through BLS-Toronto (start to finish)? I'm in Toronto now. I'm seriously considering going to India in August to get the PCC (I have an overseas trip before that, so I can't give up my passport to BLS before...

    I just received my nomination certificate. Should I apply for PR immediately?

    Do you know how long it would take through BLS in Toronto? My issue is I need my passport back in my hands by end of August, and the earliest I can send my passport to BLS would be end of July...giving me 4 weeks. I've read horror stories in this forum about how it might take well over that, and...

    How many months after PR application does CIC request for PCC?

    My understanding is that that the PCC will be requested a few months after the medical request. Is this correct?

    I just received my nomination certificate. Should I apply for PR immediately?

    My biggest concern is that I have not yet applied for my PCC from India yet. I understand that I can mail in my PR application without the PCC yet, and can send it across once it is requested. I am planning on going to India in August to get my PCC directly. How long does it typically take...

    How long did it take for CIC to return your passport with TRV counterfoil?

    I just applied for a new TRV based on my PGWP work permit, and expect CIC to request me to mail in my passport within the next week or so. I'm curious - how long did it take you to get your passport back from CIC after you mailed it in? Which was the quickest method?

    Temporary Resident Visa extension with new PGWP

    I just graduated from school in May, and was just granted a new PGWP. I am now applying for an extension to my TRV. In the eligibility questionnaire, what do I put in the "current immigration status"? Do I put "student" or "worker"? I ask, as when I get to the application in my CIC account, I...

    How long would it take to process a new PCC through BLS-Toronto?

    I had gotten a PCC 2 years back, from India itself (in Bangalore), just before I came to Toronto. I now need to apply for a new PCC; I am in Toronto now, so will be using BLS. Does the fact that I already had applied for the PCC 2 years back expedite the process? I will need to travel overseas...

    PGWP: Length of validity begins from date of issue?

    My PGWP was approved on May 26, 2014, and shows validity until May 26, 2017. Is this correct? I will be joining my company on September this year, and was expecting validity until September 2017.

    PGWP: How long does it take to get it?

    Thanks, you're right. I see on the website that my PGWP was just approved and mailed out. Do you (or anyone else) have any idea on my questions on the TRV extension?

    PGWP: How long does it take to get it?

    I applied for the PGWP on May 16. Does anyone know how long it has taken in the past for the PGWP to come through? The reason I'm asking is that my TRV and study permit expire by the end of August, and I have a trip planned in early July...so ideally I would like to have my PGWP and TRV...

    I am graduating by May. When is the earliest I can apply for PGWP?

    Thanks. However, I do need H1b for client visits to the US (I'm joining an MBB firm), and the firm's lawyers had already applied on my behalf. If I could push you further...would the US only care that I have a valid CURRENT residence permit (which I do - a study permit + TRV), or that I need to...
