I'm glad I'm not the only one this morning dealing with technical issues! Hopefully it's resolved soon so we can all be on our way :)

I took CELPIP in 2014 because it was recommended to me by other people for being much more straightforward than IELTS, it was 100% computerized, and you can finish the test mostly in your own time which I liked. With IELTS, it takes much longer to do on the day of your test, and you may have to...

That's what I'm hoping. I don't have my work permit anymore, the border officer took it when I flag-poled. But I'm from a visa exempt so I don't think I will have an issue boarding a plane to Canada as I don't need a visa to be here.

Yeah, I saw that link as well. I'm flying out next weekend so it won't apply to me yet. Thank you though :)

That's great news to hear! :) Perhaps I will just do that and hope for the best!

I do hold a visa exempt passport. But from my understanding, it is a risk flying BACK into Canada without a PR card even if you are visa exempt. (I can get past the airline no worries... it's coming back in that is what I'm wondering about and want to know if anyone has actually done it and...

Katie, I'm in the same boat. My card was sent in June but I never received it! Sent off a solemn declaration today and have to wait another 3 months to get a PR card. I have a trip to Mexico booked next week as well... so now I have to change my flight to land in the U.S. so I can cross by car...

... if you did fly back in without a PR card... did you encounter any difficulty? What was your experience? Thanks!

Yep, it's the same for me. I only have 1 address showing... "Your current home address"... but it's FINALLY been updated to my show my new address, which I changed on June 28th.

That's really awesome news to hear! :)

That's good to know... I hadn't heard of anyone doing that. You were lucky for sure! :)

No, I don't think so. I'm from a visa exempt country and I don't think it's any different for us flying with no PR card. We probably very well could enter Canada as a "visitor" by flying with no PR card, but that could look quite suspicious to the agents if you have a Confirmation of PR...

Yup, unfortunately this is true. I am suffering through this right now as Canada post mail forwarding is useless for pr cards. My pr card is somewhere out there and wasn't forwarded to me and I have to wait 6 weeks to see if I get it re-sent to my new address according to cic. Beyond frustrating.

You're welcome. Here's my full timeline: We received your application for permanent residence on May 20, 2014. We started processing your application on March 18, 2015. Medical results have been received. A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this...

I did my Medical in Jan, paid upfront that day, then got COPR 2 months later in March.

I'm from visa-exempt and after I paid upfront RPRF, my COPR was posted to me in the mail and that was it!

Thanks so much Xpress :)

Hey guys, Apologies if this question has been asked already, but has anyone driven from the USA to Canada in a rental car without a PR card with no problems? I know the website says: If you return in a private vehicle, like your own car If you return to Canada in a private vehicle, such as...

Thanks for the reply Andrew. Did you apply in Rome in person? Or by mail? The thing is, I'm going on my vacation for a week, so I wouldn't be able to mail anything off and would need to get my document on the spot.

Hey guys, I'm flying out of Canada on August 22 for vacation and because Canada post does not forward PR cards to another address, and will send the card back to CIC, I am without my card that was mailed on June 29. (I'm from a visa exempt country but that doesn't mean much because I'm flying...
