Actually, I got my GU2 at around 5:00pm ET today. Thanks!

Oh wow! I thought that it takes 2 weeks to get GU2!!! Is there a reason why?

I still haven't received a GU2. My GU1 was last October 23. Others have received a GU2 on Nov 6!

I do hope that GU2 takes ~15 days. I got GU1 on Oct 23 and no news yet today so far. I'm outland PR.

So it seems like 2 weeks between the ghost updates. What does it say in the status now? Did they say they have mailed your card?

I landed on Oct 4 in Toronto and I was able to link my PR card application on GCKey shortly, the day after. I noticed that many of the folks posting here are inland applicants. Any outland applicants here who landed? Is there a separate thread? Can I see a tracker of some sort, just like the...

thanks, everyone for the feedback!

Hi, I recently landed in Toronto and I'm having a hard time looking for an apartment in a neighborhood that I like and close to work and at an acceptable price. I am currently in touch with a realtor whom I met through a rental posting on Kijiji. He just gave me listings today but none of them...

Hi everyone, I will be landing in Toronto next week. This decision is a bit sudden since I recently got a job offer and thus I have to travel soon. I have yet to sort out temporary housing. I will deal with long-term housing once I land. It is hard for me to find a reasonably-priced airbnb for...

Hi @Raptor33, I wanted to send you a DM but I couldn't. Anyway, have you already landed? May I know what industry you're in?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm now trying to message hiring managers on LinkedIn but I don't have premium so I add them first. May I know what industry you're in?

Noted. I have a US phone number that I put in the resume. I wonder if they'd bother checking the area code!

This forum has been very helpful to me and I'd like to give back. I already have my CoPR and I'm just figuring out the next steps for the move to Canada. A little bit about me: I submitted my EE profile when I was 30 yrs old. I have a PhD from the US, 3 yrs work exp in the academe, top IELTS...

Hi, I already have my COPR and I'm planning when to move to Canada. Of course, the ideal situation would be that I get a job before landing. I think this question is more suitable in this sub since the one on finding work in Canada seems to be primarily for those without visas yet. I've heard...

Hi, did you use a real estate agent? If so, may I know what are the reputable real estate agencies that you used to help you find a place? Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the responses ! I forgot to mention that I'm planning to settle in Toronto for the meantime.

Hi, I've recently gotten my copr and I'm planning to land sometime in the fall. My plan is to stay in an airbnb for the first couple of months. Eventually, I'd like to rent an apartment. I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I saw a list of websites like Kijiji.ca and viewit.ca to search...

Wow thanks for the advice! Yes I know it sounds like a trivial matter. It just hit me that, because my end goal is really citizenship, if my middle name is not reflected in Canadian documents, it will be "forever gone" as I'll be renouncing my former citizenship and my country's passport will...

Yes! but when I lived in the US, most of the forms I filled up asked me for a middle name, if available.

Wow, thanks! this is such a relief. I was searching left and right about this. :)
