Well then, to avoid the long post here and get around the inability to PM, I have posted more details here. It isn’t all inclusive, but it may give you more of an idea of my mindset in choosing Canada...

This is really a post to create a place where I could post this long response without cluttering up another post on another topic. There was some surprise that someone who is a US Citizen would be trying to get PR to move to Canada. This response was meant to help explain some of my thinking...

That's pretty cool. I love studying and learning languages. At one point when I was younger I thought I'd like to be a linguist/translator. In fact my university major for my Bachelor's degree was English/Linguistics. I have a minor in Spanish and am fully fluent (near native) in Spanish as...

Anu, I have a question for you. I do not yet have PR but am in the process as you can see by my details. I'm just thinking ahead. What is required of a person to rent a place in Canada? Do you have to have PR yet? Could you rent an apartment for a specified time (less than 6 mos since that...

Congratulations!!!

Nonetheless those of us who didn't and probably won't get one (because our VOs don't send them) are very curious as to what it says that is different than the PER. Thanks for sharing! +1

My application was received by Sydney CIO on December 24, 2014. I received the PER email on March 22, 2015. (88 days later).

Thanks. Someone else in another thread also told me something similar. PER = You should be OK. If when they do the PER one of the things they check is to make sure the cap hasn't been met, it just makes sense they would make sure the overall cap hasn't been met either. Thanks for the...

I read that, "[y]ou must promise to provide financial support for the relative and any other eligible relatives accompanying them for a period of three to ten years, depending on their age and relationship to you. This time period begins on the date they become a permanent resident." I...

Well, that is certainly a relief. This really does make sense to me. It seems to make sense that when they do PER they would make sure that the caps for the NOC as well as the overall cap haven't been met before they move your application to the VO. I could write a novel here to explain my...

Yeah. My NOC 2263 seemed to not have that many applicants. Hopefully that did save me. ;) What was your friend's NOC? What's your NOC?

I agree 100% and that's what I was thinking but then I read some posts saying otherwise. Hopefully you and I are correct that if we got PER we are OK.

This post is really scaring me now. My app was unfortunately not received until Dec. 24 as I sent it late waiting for PCC for my wife. After sending the request 2x with no success due to poor fingerprint images I could wait no longer and sent the application. I got my PER on March 22, 2015...

I don't know the answer about the photo but congratulations! +1

Sure have, as a visitor only though. My wife did two summers there also before that back when she was studying at the university. My whole family has stayed there the past 3 summers and plan to spend this summer there again as well when the kids are out of school. Already have accommodations...

I hope not. I think that was one of the things they checked for during PER...if the CAP was already met for your NOC. I would imagine that they would have also checked to make sure that the overall cap wasn't already met...I hope. EDIT: Maybe not...I was reading in another post that the...

We may not ever receive one. Apparently as I have read elsewhere, not all VOs send them.

:o LOL. I see you flying that TX flag on your profile. :P It is sad...it used to be that way. The US used to be the place to go. I think more and more there are Americans moving for the same reason immigrants have always moved from one place to another. Don't get me wrong, the US is...

Don’t lose hope. I have seen people who got PER back in September 2014 that got their MRs anywhere from 45 days later to 136 days later. It seems to me that the closer the application is to the December 31, 2015 cut-off for applying under the old system, the longer the delays are. It could...

Congratulations! The RPRF request comes before MR? Is that how it generally works? For I thought the RPRF occurred after they got the results from the MR. I only need PCC from the US for both me and my wife as we are US Citizens and haven't lived elsewhere. I submitted mine with the...
