Anyone here receive their PR card yet? It's been 10 weeks since I was got PR, and they said 7-9 weeks until the card arrived in the mail... should I call the callcenter? ::)

So I landed today officially in Calgary! (my info is already on the chart) It was more or less what everyone said here. The interview was mostly a formality. Our interview was scheduled for 9:45 am, so we showed up at 9:30. They led us to a line to pay the $490, and here's where my biggest...

Because of typo ;) I have to pay $490, just like everyone else! And congrats on the landing date, yay! :)

I just got the letter with my landing date! It'll be May 17th in Calgary. laksdjflaskdjfalsdfkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlnnlkajdflkajsdflkajsdfj :D

So I got a letter (from March 27) confirming that I have PR and telling me to wait for Calgary to send me a landing date. Yay! It says I need to pay $450 before I can be given PR. Since I know it can take a long time before the landing interview, I think I want to get a temporary SIN number...

Today my ecas changed to "Decision Made"! There's nothing else new, but I'm pretty sure that means PR :D I HOPE SO Also, to everyone on this forum: you've been such a tremendous help. I'm so, so glad this resource exists. ;)

I love the useful statistics! They really are useful Thanks so much for the update 8)

Nope, not yet! But I was told that the website would take a few days and the letter wouldn't get to us until next week. ::)

Berber_amazigh (May 18) and I (May 24) both got AIP today, Mingming :)

By the way, if they want extra documents (new medicals, etc), where do they usually tell you? In the AIP letter, on the website (ecas), or both?

I didn't say AIP because she didn't say so on the phone, but she mentioned OWP and getting a work visa-- so I think that's AIP, yeah. They received my application on May 24th, 2011 and started processing on June 2nd, 2011.

;) ;D ;) I just called, and according to the woman I spoke to, I was granted a work visa (OWP?) yesterday! Oh, goodness, I hope I get PR soon too. I wonder how long until I find out? I hope they won't want any renewed documents....

Thank you! Nothing yet, but I'll check every few hours.

Congrats, Berber_amazigh! I'm glad you got it so early this week ;D

Missha, yes I hired a lawyer for the process. I needed police certificates from four countries, and I sent my application with two of them. I sent the other two later, when they arrived.

Urk, seriously?! :(

I'd give them a call, Berber_amazigh! You're within the current timeframe of applications (19 days a week) and it does seem to take a while for eCas to be updated. I'm crossing my fingers for you! As for everyone who's gotten good news this week so far.... congrats! ;)

Sarahkhans, I had to request a police certificate from Pakistan, and it took several months. I'm a non-national, which may have affected the length of time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took just as long as nationals. Have you tried calling the Pakistani consulate you applied through to ask...

You do need to get those! (Be sure to get the medicals at a place on the list approved for Canadian immigration. The CIC site lists them, including for Calgary.) You might want to wait for the medicals, though, as putting together the application can take time and if CIC takes as long as it has...

I think that's for the best! Since they told you personally to do so. I guess me and the others will find out soon enough if we needed to too? I'll post here if I find out that's the case.
