As far as my search goes, there is no website for landed immigrants to check their new PR card status online. You will have to call their customer service number.

I landed 21 July and got my card 7 Nov. That's about 3-1/2 months. Anyway, I noticed that my citizenship is wrong on the card. So I called back today and was told to wait for a form to fill and send that back to them with the new card and a copy of the landing document showing correct...

If you are used to really cold weather then you may ignore the rest otherwise if you coming to Alberta in the Winter especially in Nov or after, make sure you have winter clothing before you land. A family told me that they landed in Nov. some years back with mild winter clothing and fell ill...

Fresh update as of now. Just talked to a very nice CIC rep. who said that many of their clients are facing delays in new PR card being issued. She even said that the CIC PR card issuing office is giving priority to new PR over PR renewal but it's still taking long. Finger crossed here. Waiting...

I used the following form. Made copies. One for things I carried with me, one for items to follow. I also asked how long do I have for my things to following me; the customs officer upto 1 year. However, please verify this on your own as well. Also make sure you make copies for your records...

I landed July 21 and still waiting for any communication from CIC. I called them 3 times so far. The last time I called it was over the 53 business days which is well over the 43 or 45 business days they ask you to wait for your card. The said they would send a notice to the PR card office for...

It's so so. I would say the IT market in the US is actually hot right now. Here in Edmonton it definitely isn't that good. Someone here told me it's a little better in Calgary but no more better than the US. I am still getting emails from US for contracts. Other negatives in Canada are: higher...

After working in the states for years and never given a solid chance to become a permanent resident, got tired of it. I have accolades, excellent job recommendation letters and even the proverbial "I'll hire in a split second should you come back to US" etc...... but the immig. system in the...

This thread has some suggestion from folks on the forum. Hopefully one of them will work for you. Good luck. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/how-to-reach-cic-call-centre-toll-free-number-from-outside-canada-t24877.0.html

I have the same story almost, except that I landed in Edmonton and actually am staying here. I do not plan going back to the states. The only difference I have is that I am still waiting for my PR card. Just talked to them on the phone. Make sure you call them or else it would be delayed even...

I landed on 21 July. I have the same concern, but the officer told me under the new rules, new immigrants no longer have to personally apply for the card. And that at the landing time, immigration officer like himself are to apply for the PR card right there even if we don't have an address yet...

I got mine in exactly 13 business days (about 2.4 weeks) from the day I they received my passport. Hope this helps. I sent it March 5th 2011.

Crap, I typed gibberish. Anyway what I meant to say was that the 2nd photo was included in the return envelop along with the visa stamped passport and COPR. There was nothing written on or about the 2nd photo. If they used it for scanning the photo for the future PR card purpose, that was nice...

Same here. When I received my passport with the visa, I had one photo affixed to the COPR and the just returned in the envelop. There is no writing on it the 2nd photo nor their is any instruction for it. My guess, it that they used the 2nd photo for scanning purpose to be put into the resident...

Yeah, my only reason is to help the folks who are still is pre-visa stamping quickly find relative information in this list. Where as folks likes myself who are now thinking and planning to land, use another leaner list. But we can't do this unless most of us do it. If anyone agrees with this...

Should those who got their visa tamping, post comments/questions on a more relative list/forum Like the "http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/ainp-srs-h1b-landing-experience-and-post-landing-related-activities-t46784.0.html" And leave this very useful forum for those who...

Kevintech, Please don't be disheartened. I was in the same situation until 3 weeks ago. Just stay put. The tension won't go away until one lands and then gets the card in mail there. But if I can get it with multiple document requests from Buffalo after my medicals, you will get it too. Good...

Avalap, Thanks for sharing the very useful information. It gives me and I am sure to others the confidence to know that the Canadian Immigration authorities treat people well unlike their US counterparts who look at each of us as you know what.... I am myself planning to move (not planning to...

Does anyone know about Google voice works in Canada? I mean that it can give you a Canadian number, i.e, Fully Canadian Google voice?

I thought you had some good points even if they came with some very strong opinion and I thank you for at least the good points; but seriously you are too much for me. No offense intended but I have decided not to reply to your posts anymore. :-X
