You can still apply for an urgent processing of PR Card, if you include proof of travel in the form of a ticket purchase. see PR card processing time on CIC website and follow instruction for urgent processing.
BCKev is right, or you may have children who do not want to immigrate with you, in order to keep doors open for them to immigrate some time in future you need to declare them and get the medical done, otherwise they can not immigrate later on
Its better that you write to them, suspecting a PPR email has been lost or not received by you. So that they can take a necessary action if email hasn't reached to you due to any reason.
They just mention that a decision has been made on you application and you will be contacted by the office. They do not mention a positive or negative.
Guys keep 10 working days for processing and 3 working days for courier. This could be upto 19 calendar days as 3 weekends may fall depending when your passport reached embassy. Before this ADVO might not respond to emails.
Place of marriage does not make any difference. Visa office can either be in the country of citizenship of the applicant or the applicable visa office of the country where applicant has legally resided for a period of at least 1 year.
Short Vacation should not be a problem, a longer vacation may attract CBSA attention to ask further upon return to Canada. entry through Kiosk is simple and easy, but recommended to keep vacations short.
ADVO might not have dispatched yet or aramex might not have updated in their system yet if they picked recently. you should be receiving any time within this week. good luck.
That is infact a good news, your application has come in process now, as soon as you do medical expect a PPR request in couple of weeks, you may also send a fresh PCC with your emedical receipt to be on a safe side. Good luck
If there was something wrong with your attestation you would get queries with your ADR. In Process is an indication that everything is good you should hopefully receive PPR in 2 to 3 weeks.
We picked our passport in person on the 11th working day. as our visa was stamped only on 10th working day and we had to fly in next 2 days, we emailed ADVO and they told us that aramex might take longer than 2 days and they allowed us to pick in person.
As you might recall that "march2014apply"...
We were in the same situation in UAE, our sponsorship application finalize and spouse landed already, kindly see response to all your queries.
1. you do not need to let any authority know about you wife's marital status change. She can continue to keep visa under her father sponsorship...
don't be panic, if you already received PPR or about to receive PPR means all your documents are complete. if you have provided a marriage certificate English copy attested by a notary or any govt authority then you are good. your application will be finalized soon, good luck
