Hey everyone! I know no one writes here anymore, but I wanted to say I was just reading the posts from late 2012 and early 2013 and they still make me laugh. I hope you're all doing very well wherever you are, thanks for making this process a lot nicer! :)

Congratulations SM!!!!!!! :) I'm so happy for you, you've been so patient and had to wait so long!

I don't know if this helps but my husband brought our dog and it was really easy! We just got a vet certificate stating the dog's name, breed, age, weight, chip, vaccinations etc. And the vet also certified our dog was from a rabies-free country. When we arrived (at Toronto) they pretty much...

I don't know if it's true as mine said the processing started on the same day they made the decision! I know VOs are trained and surely capable of processing those applications fast but even so I believe it took them longer than that! Unless there's something I'm not understanding. :)

Hi! Are you from a visa exempt country? If so, London doesn't send a passport request, when a decision is made (given it's an approval) they will just mail your COPR to you :) Your COPR will have a date written on it and you have to land on or before that date.

SwedentoQuebec: I am so sorry to hear that and I wish you all the best. Kram!

Happy Canada Day everyone! And congratulations DGT!! Great to hear you're now a PR!!

DGT! Congratulations!!! Excellent news! :)

Wow, I understand how bad that must have felt! And yeah, you're right, I had a return ticket also, forgot to mention that! I hope you'll get good news soon and that this process is soon over for you! :)

I did the same, and I was quite nervous. I didn't have ties to my home country but I would've left before my 6 months was up. The CBSA agent actually started saying "that's a long visit...that's a long visit" but turns out I was approved the same day so he saw that on his computer while I had no...

bscinto92 CONGRATULATIONS! Yayyyy!!!! I'm really happy for you! You're almost done and landing is the easiest part! Trust me, I was worried about pretty much everything on our application too :) BrazilianGirl: hahaa maybe it's worth trying, stay away for another few weeks and let's see how...

:) It feels weird to be honest! But good weird haha! I have to admit Canadians are super super nice.. I can't even count how many "welcome to Canada" I've heard...at the border (CBSA and Customs officers), at Service Canada...and pretty much everywhere else :D I don't think my country welcomes...

Hi! I don't know about Toronto but I can tell you my experience: My husband and I went to primary inspection together. Then the CBSA inspection officer (or whatever is the proper name/word!) told me to go to secondary inspection (called Immigration Canada or something like that). My husband was...

Congratulations bscinto92! :) Hope the rest of our group also gets their COPR/PPR/DM soon!!

Hi! It says on CIC's website that they're working on applications received on October 8th at the moment, so I'm sure you'll hear from them in a few weeks! You can check that at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp :)

I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone for all your help. I landed today and thanks to the advice on this thread, everything went well. I still feel weird that the process is done now, especially since others including Scottishmaple and DGT should've gotten their DMs before me! I hope it's only a...

Hi :) I'm a visa exempt citizen and my VO is London, and once they make the decision (given it's an approval) they send you the COPR by mail and that's it :) So they don't need my passport, they didn't even ask for copies of all the pages of it, they just sent the COPR and with that I can land...

Hi BrazilianGirl , whenever you have time, can you please correct my info on the spreadsheet? I didn't get a PPR, and it wasn't on May 6th :) They actually made the decision on April 23rd and sent the COPR by mail. Haven't landed yet though :) Thanks!

DGT: Hang in there!!! I hope you get your COPR soon. Korma: thanks for the "administrative refusal"-info!

Thank you canuck_in_uk and Sweden! :) I thought there's a question about previous refusals when you fill out the ESTA form? I'm not sure though, of course administrative refusal would be the easiest thing to do but I wouldn't want any problems with ESTA in the future! My husband and I are...
