Landing next week Hi Everyone... Well, my wife is planning to "land" next week at Toronto Pearson. We have her passport, visa, COPR, and duplicate Customs Form B4...any final advice? She is pretty nervous, but everyone says this should be a "breeze"!!! Compared to the application process...

Thanks for the info....will allow enough time to go to the Sevice Canada offices!!

Hi... Can anyone tell me how common it is to be able to apply for a SIN during the landing process? Is this generally part of the process...at least at the larger airports and border crossings? I plan to "land" and then return immediately to the U.S., but I wanted to apply for a SIN while in...

Re: Processing times @ Los Angeles We applied July and the application was transferred from Buffalo to LA on Sept 16...and we got the passport request on October 21...she is from the U.S. with no dependents accompanying...so it was pretty straight-forward. Good luck!

Hallelujah!! We just received our letter requesting my spouse's passport!! An early Christmas present! So, despite being transferred from Buffalo to Los Angeles, we were still under the average times. I guess the next step is getting ready to land?

My wife's address-of-record is in Colorado...but she is visiting with me in Canada right now. I just checked on Trackitt and we are the ONLY app listed in L.A.!! May turn out to be a good thing....who knows?

Our application began processing in Buffalo on August 27, but now I learned through Ecas that the file has been transferrred to the Los Angeles office....presumably to "expedite" processing, but I suspect it will just slow things down....Buffalo seems to be sending a lot of applications to other...

Hi folks... We are on the leading edge of this group and I just learned through Ecas that our application was sent from the Buffalo office to the Los Angeles visa office on September 16. I have been led to believe this is usually done to "expedite" processing, but would rather have stayed with...

Thanks for the info...I think we will change my wife's mailing address to Canada while she is here.

Thanks for the info, folks...do you know if having the passport sent to a P.O. box in Canada presents any problems? Piscesman

We are making steady progress...my wife's application is in the Buffalo pipeline. She is planning to be with me in Canada until the end of November (she entered in early August with a return ticket to the U.S...no problems at border)...my question is this: if, in the happy event that we...

I have been remiss in reporting our progress given that we were on the "leading edge" of the group...we received our AOR letter from Buffalo with a file number, and processing began on my wife's application on August 27. Ecas has been updated and we are in the system. I have been amazed to see...

Hi Everyone... I just checked my mail (I have been away for about a week) and lo and behold, we have received a letter from CPC-M approving my sponsorship application! It was postmarked in Mississauga on August 11...well under the 42 days...more like 30 days, because the my application was...

Hi... I know we are outside your group's timeframe, but I thought you might like to know that my sponsorship application was received by CPC-M on July 15th and I have not yet received any communication from them. I am hoping to hear within the next 7-10 days. The average time was reported as...

Thanks PMM....this site has been a real help for us...wish us luck! Will continue to report progress! Piscesman

Hi... Sorry...I'm sure these questions have been answered before, but I am not finding what I need when I search old posts. Section C, question 6: Address of principle applicant. If the address given in a) IS in the country of nationality of the person I am sponsoring, do I need to check...

I would like to get some clarification on photos required for the PR application. My spouse is applying from the U.S. and she is including two dependent children who will NOT be accompanying her. The Document Checklist specifies four (4) photos of each, size 1-3/8" x 1-3/4", and the...

Again, thanks for the information...we will be sure to put "Due Date" and "Canadian Immigration" both on the envelope and the covering letter...hope that we receive results in 4-6 weeks! Piscesman

Thanks so much for your advice, Emmy...we are just getting started with this (although we've been collecting documents for months!). We may delay the medical exam until later...the only unknown is how long it will take to get the police report back from the FBI. Do you have any information on...
