Landed today via driving across border from US; was extremely fast and easy. I was not required to show proof of funds or any supporting documents; just gave the CBSA officer my COPR document, gave her my new Canadian address, signed the document and that was it. She gave me the second copy back...

Hi cam, yes, they did; I applied April 2011, updated docs and med request were end of September 2013, PPR was mid November, received the COPR/visa about a week later (I didn't have to mail my passport, only a scanned email copy, so they sent my COPR/visa within a few days of that).

Thanks alwayspositive & feng... Yes, I think because I didn't have to send them my passport, just a scanned copy of the data page, it went faster. I emailed them the scanned data page on the same day I got the PPR email; the following day my ECAS status changed to 'decision made' and about a...

Thanks!

My COPR/PR entry visa arrived in the mail today - I'm home free 8) Planning on crossing with my wife in early December.

Congratulations alwayspositive!! Was about two weeks after my third ecas line (med results received) before I got the PPR email, though someone on here got the PPR the next day after the third line so it could be any minute now for you! It will come soon, get ready :)

Your case is definitely an example of how everyone's application is different. For most of us, our ECAS status was stuck in RBVO until we received med requests, and didn't change in the ECAS status line until after our PPR. For me, my status only just changed from RBVO to 'Decision Made' last...

The good news for you is that unlike most, you will not need to send your passport to CIC once you get your PPR. If you come from any country in the EU, the US, or any other country that doesn't require a visa to visit Canada, then you will not need to send your passport to CIC; instead, CIC...

He said proof of funds OR employment letter; if you are FSW2 you should have an employment letter and if you are no longer employed then you will need to provide POF. You are correct that if you are FSW2 and either currently employed in Canada or with a job offer, you don't need POF, but you...

zw, if you are already in Canada and you have a job offer, the docs might be different anyway. If you've been in Canada the entire time since you applied for PR and you haven't left at all, they might not even ask for a police certificate (you never know...). Additionally, if you have left...

Alwayspositive, you are honestly the best person on this forum. I believe very much in karma. You will get your COPR soon, my friend. Keep staying positive and don't change a thing :)

After, about two days after the MR/RPRF request. And unlike some here, I was required to send everything back to CPP via regular mail; there was no mention of emailing the docs that could be scanned like the proof of funds. I am not sure why some get to email this stuff and others (like me) had...

zw: Yes they did ask for extra docs, oddly enough they asked for them in the meds request and additional docs in a second separate email request. Same as everyone else - asked for updated forms, proof of funds, and police certificates. The only difference I can see between our requests and most...

Thanks everyone for your congrats :) Sending our passports to Ottawa tomorrow, will be living in Canada by the new year. If you have any specific questions for me please message me, as I am not able to get on this forum very often (wife won't let me!). Will be back on to share the landing...

10 minutes ago I GOT MY PPR!!!!!!! I'm a FSW1, applied April 2011, RBVO June 2011, medicals late September 2013. For anyone else with similar stats, be patient, it will come soon! The PPR email literally put tears in my eyes. Two and a half years and it is finally over. Good luck everyone, it...

Congrats!!

Thanks, you're a world of help to me as usual ::) It is obvious that it varies since a cursory search on here shows some people get 1 year expiry dates, some get 6-7 months and for some it apparently says something along the lines of "valid until expiration of passport or medical exam...

Friends, can anyone who has received their visa and passport back tell me/us when your visa expires? I have read on here that the entry visa expires the same day as the medical but then I've also read that the some PR visas expire 6-7 months after issuance, i.e., you have 6-7 months after your...

Hello, you should check with your doctor to see if they will accept you for an exam with just your UCI number. The first two examiners I called (both in NY state) said I needed the biodat page (IMM 1017E) in order to make an appointment. However, the third examiner I called (in Toronto) said he...

Usaca, interesting question. Most state police agencies will give you same day service with background certificates but give you the option of getting it in person and notarized; the notarization is often what makes it 'original' when there is not an official original signature and/or something...
