Where are you tracking the progress of your application? At the IRCC or VFS website?

Danielpng, have you received the PRTD? If so, how long did it finally take? I have sent the PRTD application through the VAC in Tbilisi, Georgia. Paperwork came to Ankara in late March. As of today, no news. So, I wonder, how long does the PRTD processing take in the Ankara embassy these days?

Are we talking about PR visa or PRTD? Those are two different things. When did you originally send your application? I mean, how long did it take before they approved your request?

As long as they accepted your DL for the knowledge test (which I assume you passed) I do not think you need anything else for the road test. Recognizing your two-year driving-experience is a different story. Usually your "long insurance letter in Dutch" needs to be translated by their approved...

Did the call center agent refer to any sort of publication or manual that deals with that? I mean, I hate to go to the ICBC office empty handed :-) Was the paper license that you partner got some sort of short-term temporary one? I mean, was its expiration date within a moth from the date of...

Thank you for the information. What was that yellow paper? Some sort of temporarily DL or else? Do you remember if it had an expiration date? I mean, was it something valid only for a month or two (like paper tags on your new car) or you could have used it for much longer?

Do you know where this info comes from? I wasn't able to find anything about it on ICBC's web site.

Any chance you remember where this info came from? I wasn't able to find anything about it on ICBC web site.

Is my understanding correct, that there is a significant difference on this issue between AB and BC? I mean, in BC it seems that if I prove two years of foreign driving experience I will be able to take the driving test right away...

Thank you again for your help. I wasn't arguing with you on this matter. I just wanted to show how much confusion regarding this issue is even among government employees. How can they expect ordinary people figure this out? Could my wife's becoming a PR be an issue if she lands before her...

I wish it was that clear. I spoke with a few people at the Visa Centers and they all seem to have a different opinion on this matter. One said that my wife will become a PR once she receives the PR card. Another one said that it happens when she gets the PR visa sticker in her passport. I asked...

Good. Could that be an issue if my wife lands before her parents come to Canada? In other words, she is not a PR at the moment they apply for the tourist visas. However, by the time they come to Canada (which should be in 3+ months from now), she could get a PR visa and, even, land (effectively...

Sure. I am Canadian, my wife is Russian. At the moment we are living in Russia awaiting for my wife's PR application approval (being 2+ years by now). My wife's parents want to come to Canada (and USA) as tourists. One of the questions on the tourist visa application form asks if they have any...

Thank you for the information. Can you refer to any document, which supports this point of view.

Hello, everybody, At which moment does someone become a permanent resident of Canada? Does it happen when the positive decision is made on his/her application (irrespective of the immigration category)? Or, when the PR visa is issued and placed in that person's passport? Or, when this person...

I am also confused by IMM5562. I am Canadian citizen, sponsoring my wife to come to Canada. I have already been approved as a sponsor. Now, after two years, my wife received the request for new medicals, an updated IMM5669 and IMM5562. Here are my questions: 1. IMM5562 is supposed to be filled...

Which one(s) do you mean?

In other words, the decision has pretty much been made? And all the paperwork they requested (passport copies, new meds, new bio forms and etc.) is just a formality?

So, is it safe to assume that once you receive a request for copies of ALL pages of the passport (why they might need it for people from visa non-exempt countries is still beyond me) it means that the decision is pretty much made? And that once they receive the requested (in addition to the...
