Never mind, I just googled it, which I should have done in the first place. It's all moot, a PR cannot hold a Canadian passport. :(

Once my wife has landed and obtained her PR card, which will be in her maiden name: 1.) Can she receive a Canadian passport? 2.) If so, while still holding an American passport, or must she relinquish it? 2.) Must her Canadian passport (if she's able to receive one) reflect the name on her...

Excellent! Good to see the results of their effort to streamline straight forward applications is coming to bear. Kuddos to the Canadian government for seeing the need and making some of those necessary changes. While some of us who applied this year may have gotten caught in kerfuffle of any...

Thanks, on both counts, Isometry!

A country is only as "civilized" as those who reside within her borders, what they believe and how they behave according to those beliefs. If a nation is inundated by those who believe it's perfectly fine to use others to further their own ends, with nary a thought for the individual they're...

Once a person has received their COPR, they can land by themselves, can't they? They don't have to have their spouse present?

I posted a strong word of caution a couple of weeks ago to those who were sponsoring people from a specific country and my post was removed by the mods after people claimed it was racist. I tried to point out that it was nothing of the sort, I was simply pointing out that there's a reason the...

Might want to buy a lotto ticket while you're waiting! :D

My wife sent her RCMP clearance letter (that arrived quickly, only 3 days from when she had her fingerprints done electronically) and a copy of her passport yesterday. C'mon COPR!! :D

Great story, Creampop, and CONGRATULATIONS!

This type of situation is precisely the reason so many legitimate marriages are scrutinized to the nth degree, often causing tremendous difficulty for those involved. The man's a fraudster, plain and simple. When so many make every effort to deliberately and conscientiously abide by the law...

Congrats, New Guy! We're hoping my wife's RCMP clearance letter arrives early next week (should be processed by the end of today) and we'll be able to send it in with her PP copy as requested, with COPR following soon after...

PPR request yesterday, November 20th. She was also asked for an RCMP clearance letter, which surprised us, but shouldn't take too long as my wife had her fingerprints done electronically within hours of receiving the request and they should be processed within 72 hours, by Friday afternoon at...

Congrats, Creampop! I'm sure you're greatly relieved! Happy landing...may it be soft!

I'm sorry, Dr Eng X, truly. It's been a pretty gruelling ordeal for you, as well as some others. I'm not sure why that is, it would surely seem there are some serious inconsistencies in how the process is handled. I do sincerely hope you hear something very soon.

Oh, that makes sense! Thanks for that info. You should seriously become an immigration consultant, you know, the silver lining in the cloud of the many trials you went through to become a PR! Maybe folks would pay you the big bucks! ;)

You can add a change to our status too, Parker24, my wife received her PPR today!! Actually, not the passport, but a photocopy!! I'm amazed, actually, as I thought she was being processed through LA and from what I've read, they require the entire passport. But the agent she's dealing with...

My wife received her PPR today!! Actually, not the passport, but a photocopy!! I'm amazed, actually, as I thought she was being processed through LA and from what I've read, they require the entire passport. But the agent she's dealing with is out of Ottawa, she's to send the copy there...

Parker24, that's AWESOME!! Congratulations!!! C'mon CIC, let's get the rest of March processed (and all the Jan. and Feb. folk who are still waiting!)!!!!

Didn't even occur to me to check their website, where's the head slapping icon when you need one? Guess she'll be a mere week or so away from delivery (if she hasn't already birthed) when we hear, sure hope it gets approved, can't imagine why it wouldn't, but there's always that niggling...
