My AIP was Nov 30, my medical expired around Dec 10, and I got the DM letter Feb 7. Landed Feb 27. Hope that helps.

Thanks and good luck to you too!!

Hey everyone, can't believe the day has finally come. I landed this morning at Vancouver! I was very nervous because I didn't know what to expect, so here is my landing story in detail. Hopefully it will put some of you at ease! My appointment was at 8:30 am this morning, as I said in the...

Hey Liza Laziza. I got the letter requesting additional info at the same time as AIP, it was actually in the same letter.

That was similar to mine. They didn't say it was a group session though, they just said that office space is limited so only bring yourself and sponsor.

CrazyLucy that is totally different than the letter I got for my landing interview... :o I thought the landing interview was more of a formality to confirm your name, address, etc. and give you your permanent residence documents. Now I am freaking out a little. Are they going to drill us...

Ardmac that is really strange. Vancouver said I had to have my sponsor come with me. So the poor guy is flying in from work for tonight, accompanying me to my landing interview tomorrow, and then flying back to finish out his work for the week. An extrememly expensive one day trip, but we didn't...

I've been through a similar situation. If I were you, I would enter as a visitor (make sure you have a return flight booked for 6 months from then, because you want to prove to them that you will leave the country after your 6 months are up). When you apply for your extension, you will have to...

I don't know if this helps, but my husband and I met in February, got engaged in July, and married in December all in the same year too (2010). We had a ton of proof of our relationship though, things like my parents flying out for the civil ceremony wedding, my parents paying for the second...

Hey missha, they asked me for my police certificates from the UK, and they asked me to send them proof that I renewed my US passport (the one they had on file was going to expire within a month). I phoned to ask if I needed to re-do my medicals, but they told me I didn't. I'm sure that one...

Hey all, Just wanted to update and say I have my landing interview tomorrow at 8:30am in Vancouver! I'm so excited but so nervous. Has anyone landed in Vancouver and do you know whether they have a photo place there? I'm going to London Drugs to get my photos done today, but I'm nervous they'll...

Thank you canadiancitizen!!!!! I love that! :) I just phoned and they told me my landing date is February 27!!!! The one thing though is that my husband will be up at a camp job during that date... does anyone know whether I can go without him or if I'll need to re-schedule? Either way, this...

I am literally shaking with excitement... checked eCas on a whim this morning, and it says... We received your application for permanent residence on December 20, 2010. We started processing your application on February 7, 2011. A decision has been made and you will be contacted...

Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone has experience with interviews after AIP and before PR. Is this a common thing? I haven't been asked for one or even heard anything from CIC in awhile (so discouraging!!), I was just curious whether anyone had heard of that happening.

I'm not sure, but think you may need to fill out an application to be deemed as "rehabilitated" from your offence. The CIC page explaining this is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/rehabil.asp4.

Hi everyone, and congrats to the recent 2nd stage approval people!! I have a question about UK Police Certificates... Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that 9 years ago, when someone was 17 years old, they received a caution from the police in London for the possession of a very very minor...

Hi again CrazyLucy, I think we're in really similar situations. When I received AIP and OWP on Nov 30, they only asked for my UK police certificate (I lived there 10 years but US citizen; and they didn't need FBI check because I was 14 when I moved to England), and for me to renew my US...

Hi CrazyLucy, I'm in the "mail queue" too! I received AIP and OWP on 30 November. I also received a letter asking for a copy of my renewed US passport and police certificate from England (I was stupid not to have gotten the police certificate done sooner). I sent in those documents to Vegreville...

Hey everybody, Can anyone tell me which page has the most recent chart from Love_Young? Also, I got my work permit in the mail yesterday! Yay!! :)

Hi everybody, long time no talk! The last time I spent a lot of time on here was the end of August, and I was mega-stressing out. One of you (Love_Young maybe?) suggested I take a break, and I did. And it helped, a lot. I was away longer than I meant to though, LOL. GOOD NEWS! I checked eCas...
