I left Canada while my IEC was still valid and returned as a visitor 4 days after my IEC expired. My PR application was in process and I didn't have any trouble coming back. My officer was really nice and didn't ask any questions. I would enter after your IEC expires, bring proof of your...

I was in Canada and needed 3 German police certificates in the last 3 years. It was no problem at all. It only took 10-14 days from my application until I received my police certificate

Some people were asked to do a re-med several months after their first one expired

I was approved as common-law but I was in Canada on a Working Holiday and Young Professional visa so having a joint bank account, mortgage, insurance etc. wasn't a problem... - joint rental agreement is the most important thing - try to add him to your bank account. This should be possible as...

I went through Vienna and it was a nightmare. Processing times went up 3 or 4 times when my application was sitting there. When I got approved processing time was 14 months, I got approved within 12. I was one of the lucky ones. Everybody else around me was waiting way longer. Processing time is...

Thank you

Hi everybody did someone in this group travel alone with conditional PR and can tell me how it went at the border? I landed as a PR in May 2014. I just booked a flight to Germany for May 2015 to finally see my friends and family again (after over 2 years). My common-law spouse can't come with...

You are right. I was really lucky because I didn't have a very "strong" application (moved together after 10 days, and applied after exactly 12 months living together) and received my COPR under 12 months. But 17 months is really ridiculous. Seriously, it is not fair to all of you. Vienna...

Maybe. We applied exactly the day on which we became common-law and weren't asked for the form. We knew I would get condition 51 for sure.

I applied as common-law and never had to sent in this form. It depends on the officer, I guess

You don't need a US visa because you don't enter the US. You tell the US officer that you want to flagpole, they give you a piece of paper that you withdraw your application to enter the US and an officer will bring you back to the Canadian border where you can land

When I landed the officer called my boyfriend to the counter and explained us condition 51 at the same time. So your partner will know about the condition if you enter Canada together on your "landing day"

Does anybody know after how many months of living (with work or study permit) in Canada an applicant can apply outland through Ottawa instead of his/her home country? I thought it was after 12 months but I can't find any information on the CIC website. The question came up in a FB group

You can apply through Ottawa as well if you are a temporary resident (work/study permit) in Canada. I applied through Vienna because I didn't know that I could have applied through Ottawa. It took exactly 12 months for my COPR but most of the people at the Vienna VO are waiting even longer right now

Oh wow, what a nightmare. This is insane :o

Yep, it's an error. I received this message several times

Everywhere I went my passport + COPR were accepted. Did you have these two documents with you? My PR card arrived 68 days after landing (landed May 3).

@chala: Have you had your interview yet? If yes, how did it go?

I didn't have any problems. My work permit expired on March 26, 2014. I went to the states from March 23 until April 2, 2014. I came back as a tourist. The officer didn't ask any questions and gave me a 6 months stamp. But it looks like you applied inland. Then you should NOT leave Canada. You...

675 photos??? This is way too much. I only had 15 pictures for a 12 months relationship
