Yes, you can always change your address. Just inform them of any changes including end of contract, etc.

You got to be kidding! Right? If you have an immigrant visa why would you put there that you are only staying for 28 days? Sorry, but the border guard is correct. You can't possibly be establishing residency if you are only staying for 28 days...

From what I know, (and I don't know much, as I am not an expert) you can only extend for another 6 months, and that might not be even enough for you before the Immigrant Visa comes out!

Your passport should be on it's way! My visa office is Abu Dhabi as well but changed my address to Vancouver as I have been in Canada while waiting for my Visa, and it took them exactly 10 working days to complete it, not 10 calendar days, then you have to add the transit days for Aramex as well...

thanks OhCanadiana, I will be doing the flagpole thing at the Peace Arch in Douglas since I have been here Vancouver for more than 2 months now! I am just waiting for any of my friends to drive me!

this is not just a "poem", it is taken from The Bible, Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3: Verses 1 to 8.

hi hgg, my wife had her landed procedure last 16-may and they told her it will take 6 to 8 weeks before i will get my PPR, up to now I have not received my PPR, so as you can see i am eagerly counting the days and wishing i will get an e-mail or letter soon...

pretty much in the same boat as you are...

just a heads up! i was trying the Qatar Airways booking and for some reason YVR or Vancouver Airport is not showing at the moment... i don't know... :-X

Thanks, I need all the encouragement as the waiting is killing me!

ok, let me add some more... ATM, the cheapest fare to Canada from UAE is Qatar Airways, however, BA and KLM are very competitive... I like KLM, although there is like a 4 to 6 hrs of waiting in Schiphol Airport, but there is a nice lounge where you can stretch... of course those who are going...

@ OhCanadiana, you have just summarized it all! Thanks... I intend to wait it out a bit, coz from what the CIC Vancouver guy told my wife, it will take 6 to 8 weeks for the letter to arrive from Abu Dhabi VO, so crossing fingers... thanks again!

sorry, i thought "landed status" would be clear... she has been in open visa status from LCP, the "landed" procedure is when she receives her COPR last 16-May-2012, hence her PR card will be in the mail soon. as for my status: Application as a spouse was Received 20-Dec-2011, start process...
