Bump! Adding a comment to make this post appear in the first page. Some of the newcomers might get some help. Thanks, GS

Hey All, I landed as a PR on Jan 15 at etobicoke. The process was very fast and smooth. My spouse (my sponsor) was with me but she was never asked to show her id or address proof. I went before the appointment time, got a number (as you get in any service canada/service Ontario location) and...

Hey All, So many good news to share so wondering where to begin. We were Aug 2, 2013 applicant. Ok, received my DM email yesterday (received by spouse) and were so happy. And today, I received the landing interview date (etobicoke center) which is just next week! Thanks everybody in the...

I don't think that's entirely accurate. I agree that it is risky to go into your home country and request for a travel visa as it may be denied. However, after receiving your work permit, you can get a multiple entry visitor visa within Canada by applying to CPC-Ottawa. This ensures that you...

I am Aug 2 applicant, still waiting for my OWP. I called CIC last week and they confirmed that my OWP is being processed in Vegreville office but they cannot tell 'when' the processing will be ending. Asked me to call back after Nov 14.

Good news, Thanks for sharing! I am in Toronto (Aug 2 applicant, received AIP on Oct 15) and still waiting to get my work permit. Hopefully will get it this week. Has anybody recently applied for TRV (sticker on passport) after getting the work permit which is required to travel in/out...

S.S. Kingston, Fishbone; Thanks a lot for the reply and for the great moral support. I called CIC and the helpful (ok, he was a bit helpful) told me that the Work Permit is issued by Vegerville and not CPC-M. He said "When CPC-V transferred the file to CPC-M, they would have kept the work...

Hey All, I received my AIP on Oct 15 (Aug 2, 2013 applicant) but I am still waiting to receive my OWP. How long does it normally takes? Should I check with CIC call center if it makes any difference?

Nope, still waiting for it. Do not know when I will receive it :(

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed. Many thanks!

Hi Ponga, I am from India and have already submitted my police clearance both from India and from Canada when I started the application. The email specifically says only to submit fingerprint (and nothing about police verification) to RCMP. You said that "This is in addition to whatever you...

Hello All, I received another email from CIC asking me to submit my fingerprint and medical test results. Did anybody went through fingerprint check? How can it be done and what is the fees? Please let me know.

Thanks All, I am really happy!! I was so depressed this morning and then suddenly felt so great after receiving the emails. I applied for a work permit after receiving my AOR (about a month after I sent my PR app) so hoping to get my work permit soon as well. How long does it takes to receive...

Hi All, I just received my AIP and a request for medical in Toronto/GTA. I have few questions and would appreciate if anybody can answer them. 1. How long does it takes to get an appointment? 2. Do all doctors charge the same amount for medical test or is it different with different doctors...

Yay....................... one more AIP! Just received two mails from CIC (Aug 2, 2013 applicant). My wife (sponser) received an email that she is eligible to be a sponsor (is this AIP?) I received an email asking me to undergo medical test (I didn't submitted my medical before, will do it...

CIC website status says they have completed 80% of cases which were submitted before Aug 2 (on Oct 8, 2014). I am Aug 2 applicant and still waiting. Nothing, and I seriously mean nothing seems good. Calling the call center is a waste of time. It feels so dark, so terrible, so depressing .....

I didn't applied for a work permit along with my PR application. I only applied for a work permit/change of status/extension *after* sending my PR application. Only one application my friend. My consultant suggested that I should apply for an extension/work permit once I receive AOR. So I...

I posted the letter and yes, I was having a PGWP. I received an email roughly 3 months after sending in the application. I think your common-law partner will also receive a similar email (but not sure, please check with CIC). I am adding the letter here again. The following information is also...

Thanks, did it and attached the CIC letter image to my last reply.

Hey Friends, Seems like a lot of early Aug applicant are getting their AIP/OWP today. I am a 2nd Aug applicant and eagerly waiting to get the news. Fingers crossed! A lot of people asked if I had a PGWP. Yes, I did. I was an International student and received a PGWP which was about to expire...
