    That is so true. :) BTW, if you are OINP, why does the mail mention Manitoba? I see "Ready for Manitoba https://extended.cc.umanitoba.ca/ready-for-manitoba". I guess this is a generic mail they send out to applicants in the last stages of approval.

    Any movement from CIC's side is good news, and am glad to see progress on an Outland application. I just hope this wait isn't as drawn out and painful as it was with OINP. 'bestofluck' and others here know what I am talking about!

    Schedule 'A' is usually requested if i. your application has any gaps in the timelines, ii. you answered 'Yes' to any of the background-check related questions, like a visa rejection in the past (this is quite common these days as you come across a dozen people whose visa applications were...

    Oh well, this looks like progress though. BTW, have you requested for your application's GCMS notes? I haven't planned on doing so yet, but was wondering when one should start considering requesting for it.

    Hey Raj, how common is it to get these verification call from VO? I haven't seen many cases getting these calls. Is it a new norm now?

    PR and time to enter canada

    Q1: How long do I have to enter Canada and apply for the physical card? You have to 'land' before your medicals expire, which is 12 months from the date of getting it done. Going by the dates you have posted here, I would say you have to land before Feb 14th, 2018. Q2: If both me and my spouse...

    {India-Specific} Getting your PCC from a PSK

    I carried a copy of my ITA, but wasn't asked for any proof. My wife however was asked to produce evidence that we have applied for a visa to Canada. So, the ITA should suffice.

    Post ITA, how many months bank statements should one upload ?

    My bank (Citibank) issued a "current balance statement" and statements of the last 6 months. They apparently do not issue an average balance statement. I explained this in my LOE. You can do something similar.
