They might also question PR's who travel and re-enter alone. This would affect me next year when I fly to Germany alone to visit my family. In case, of course, there is a note about my conditional PR in the CBSA computer

I thought the same

The COPR expiry dates vary. Sometimes it's 12 months after the medical exam was done, sometimes it's 2 years after the medical exam was done and the expiry date of my COPR was 12 months after sponsorship approval/1 year and 6 weeks after med. exam

It took 13 days for my COPR to arrive in Canada. Try to stay patient. You're almost there ;) You have to either leave the country and re-enter or you book an appointment with your local CIC office (phone number on your COPR). You have to check the expiry date of your COPR. The waiting time...

They just keep it there for 7 days, don't they? Be careful that they don't send it back to Vienna

Don't worry. It will be your COPR. I received the same message :-)

The 5 year rule applies to the sponsored person who is not able to sponsor a new spouse for the 5 years after he/she landed. The 3 year rule applies to the sponsor who is not able to sponsor a new spouse within the 3 years after his/her first spouse landed

My spouse was married to a Swiss woman and sponsored here for PR. She landed in Canada in 2009 and left Canada again in 2010. They officially split up in 2011 and got divorced in 2012. 3 months later I moved in with him and exactly 12 months later we applied as common-law. Couldn't find any...

Congrats to everybody with good news :D October is an active Vienna months. That's great :)

Why did you get a passport request? I guess you are not German, right? Because Germans don't need a visa for Canada

Correct, I'm one of them ;-)

I have only one thing to say: print the Facebook message and go to the police

Re: Landing in Canada question True :-)

Send them an email and ask what's happening. I did it, too and found out that they sent my COPR to the wrong address

Re: Landing in Canada question You have to live 3 out of 5 years in Canada to maintain your PR status. I'm allowed to apply for citizenship after 2 years of being a PR because I lived here 2 years on a work permit which counts as 1 year towards citizenship. You have to live in Canada for 3...

My landing experience was a full nightmare. Started with 20 cm of snowfall that day (it was May 3rd!!), a grumpy border officer outside and the really mean officer inside (as I explained a few days ago). The only friendly people on that day they were the US officers when I flagpoled. Usually the...

My spouse is 13 years older than me. We never thought this could be a red flag. Don't worry about it

Although Vienna is a very slow visa office your PR will probably be approved within 12-14 months. During the process you are allowed to go back to Germany to work for a while and enter Canada as a tourist. I wouldn't apply inland. As I said above: Your inland app stage 1 would take as long as...

She wanted to come to Canada because of her husband not because it's Canada. Why should she land if the only reason to come here was her husband???? Just shaking my head right now. I'm just here because of my spouse. I would never be here without him. I had a better financial status in Germany...

Ok, regarding landing at a CIC office: When I received my COPR it expired three weeks later. I called the number on the COPR to make a landing appointment in Calgary. The waiting time was 2 months so I had no choice than driving to the border instead. The border officer in Coutts was mad...
