hi all! finally got my passport back from buffalo. i thought the visa would be inserted in the passport, but what came was a huge triplicate printout form IMM 5292 (con) B (06-2004) - Confirmation of Permanent Residence. that has my photo attached to it, and a bunch of blanks i guess i fill...

hi all, just wanted to let you know my experience arriving in vancouver last night without having gotten my visa yet. i was super nervous, but approached the customs officer, he asked why i was here, said to visit my partner for the holidays, he asked how long we'd been together, i replied 4...

hi all, just nervous and would love some input. i am flying back to bc this weekend, did not have time to get my visa from buffalo, so am just planning to say i'm visiting my partner and family for a long christmas visit/vacation, and hope that my middle of the night plane arrival means sleepy...

hi yooper, yes, the email was sent to me, the applicant for permanent residence. the email address i received it from was bfaloimpa-ap@international.gc.ca and the subject line had my file # beginning with F and then my full name and some codes in [ ]. hope you get yours soon!

thanks, scylla, jstnmlr, and doctorkb! i still haven't made up my mind 100% but emailed Buffalo last night, and received a message this morning at 8:59am. Pretty good! Good morning, This is in response to your email below. Please be advised that if you choose to submit your passport in...

Thanks, scylla, I understand I can't land with the letter, but am wondering if they'll hassle me about a return ticket or how long I'm staying etc.? I usually try to have a return ticket within 6 months just in case whenever I arrive in Canada, but as I'm planning to stay, don't want to...

Could really use some advice. I'm trying to decide if I should fly to Buffalo, rent a car and get a hotel to get my visa, at a great expense, so that I can land when I fly back to BC in two weeks from tonight... OR If its okay to land in Vancouver with a printout of the PPR, I can even have...

okay, further research is telling me that you won't be taxed on jewelry or antiques. i hope that's true!

Hi All, Have a quick question. Just got PPR and will be getting my visa in Buffalo and flying back to Canada. I am working on my list of items to declare, but on this trip I am traveling with a laptop and iPad which belong to my partner, and were purchased in Canada, though I don't have any...

Yup, common law app. It seemed like an eternity, but really 5 months and 4 days ain't too bad.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just got up and checked my email, and had one that looked weird and spam-like, but it was my PPR!!!! Now have to decide if I'm going to trek up to Buffalo in the next two weeks or if I have to wait til I get back to Canada before sending off my...

Hi AW2011, I'm not sure what day the Medical Results notice showed up, I noticed it on 10/17, when others were saying it was showing up. I asked the folks in the Buffalo outland thread about the timeline from "In Process" to "PPR" and it seems from their experience that it could still be a...

hi all, i am a june outland buffalo person and just saw on ecas that my permanent residency app is finally in process as of oct. 26. pardon if this question has already been asked and answered, but is there any kind of general time frame from date of in process to ppr or is it totally random...
