Your PR card can be sent to you or you need a travel document for returning residents from the canadian embassy or in main land china from the visa processing center. You need all your documents that proof your permanent residence status ( COPR, Passport with Visa ). More info here...

Congrats to all who got their visas and landed. Good luck and a speedier process for those who are waiting. Looking back, it was frustrating at times but it was super fast for us.Thanks for all who encouraged, helped and congratulated us on our Journey here.

Congrats to you for landing Fencesitter. Your PR card will arrive at the address you have on file within 60-70 days. Ours took 65 and arrived just 2 days before my wifes flight date. She is of course back to China for the spring festival.

COPR is enough in your case. You are from a Visa exempt country.

Take the photos with you when you land in Canada. Congrats, now you can even go in your trip.

I think in our case it even helped that the medical was about to expire as it caused a fast tracking of the application in its last days and we received the passport back quickly. It is always best to submit all that is possible right away to avoid delays later.

No. They take a photo there when you go through immigration.

Great to see quick turnaround times and smooth success. My wife is now 3 weeks in Canada and our 6 months wait seems do far in the past. Waiting now for the PR card.

Coming back here after a while away. My wife landed on Nov. 10th after super fast 6 month process via Hong Kong. The landing was fast too, just 20 minutes filling out stuff, answering questions, etc. Now that she has landed, the next thought comes up of what if she wants to go back before she...

Here the promised detailed timeline of our application from first moment we had contact to CIC to receiving the visa: July 2011, One month after marriage, TRV applied and denied. Reason: No outside country experience, not enough financial background. Medical done Nov. 15th 2011 in Guangzhou 09...

It's official. My wife got today her passport with visa and COPR document. She will land in nov. 10th in Toronto. Good luck to all Aprilicants. All wait has an end.

Big congrats.

We stick around a bit. Yes, we can do that. The time lines are posted roughly in our profile under our names. I can post later dates and days between steps, so others get a feel how long something takes. Amazingly, the registered mail from HK to Zhuhai took only 3 days. China post had it for 2...

Yep. Nov. 10th it is, landing date. Visa expires 14th November, 1 day before medical expires. The waiting has an end. Good luck to all who wait. This visa office is fast and accurate if you have done a good job preparing the forms and documents and if your case is genuine and straight forward.

Bang, my wife got the registered mail notice from the mail man. Just as you said FS, one week after status change. She is getting her package from the post office. I am sleepless and full of expectation. This Journey comes now to an end. :o ;D

If you follow the timeline of FS and mine you notice that we got the passport request 6-7 weeks after file transfer which I consider very early. Your transfer was mid October, so there might be no mail before end of November. The address change will be dealt with rather quickly, so I would not...

They have sent our passport request and additional doc request via snail mail. I would send them a change of mailing address via the ecas adress change reporting option. They will answer with a automated reply email within a day and change the mailing address accordingly.

Congrats and we will follow suit if we only receive that passport back. My finger itches to book the Nov. 10th flight. Hold the number two spot overall warm for me. haha, we will be possibly number one for the ones flying in out of country?. :P

Religions all have the same background in spirituality. Only the power thirst of middle ages have distorted them to being conceived as different. CIC cares only if the relationship is genuine. Explain how you both stay to each others culture and religion. The most important part is the love...

You have to sit it out. They send it to Mississauga and you will keep your spot time wise. I have seen another person sending the app to a different CIC center and they got their approval within the posted timeline. There is nothing you can do at this stage other than wait.
