    It was about 2 weeks from when they got his pgr and when they requested ARC. But this was way back in sept 2012. When things seem to be moving ALOT faster than 2013 so far. And even for back than we received it faster than most. Most people were still about 3-5 weeks.

    If you send the original Birth certificate and marriage certificate. They will return them to you at the end of the process. My husband sent his original birth certificate and they sent it back to him with his visa and confirmation of PR :) Thanks!

    Hey, we applied common-law as well. 1) YES, the medical must go with the initial application. 2)Yes I believe those are the right forms, although for some reason only the first one is loading on my computer. so I cant confirm the other two. 3)My husband used his passport AND IFE for the...

    For the IFE, when we printed out the for we just put N/A in the expiry part. And we didn't get the photocopies certified. And yes definatly do the medical before!! I have seen it causing a 8 month delay because someone didn't send in their medical with the initial app. What do you mean for...

    Im not sure what they do if you don't add them, I just know we were advised to add all the forms that are on the checklist. To cause less confusion for the officer. Also what did you use as your national identity info ? did you put anything besides the passport ?

    Hi Bibitte, I don't have answers for all your questions, but I have a couple. 2) the birth certificate needs to be the original when you send it, so if its legalized and an original, you can send it as is. Not sure about the marriage certificate though, we applied common-law. So someone else...

    October 25, 2012 is the exact date I am pretty sure. But he is right, you need to land by sept or else your visa will be invalid and you will have to start the process all over again. You just need to land in Canada before your medical expires, there is no need to get another medical done...

    Your Pr confirmation? Do you mean something else. A PR confirmation is the paper they send you when your application has been approved and completed and you are ready to arrive/land in Canada as a permanent Resident.

    If you sent the receipt with the initial application, that's fine. you don't need to send it again. Missisagua will put it into the system that its all paid for and such and Mexico will see that aswell.
