I had applied for OWP as soon as I got AIP (a day later). It took 2.5 months, which was more than it took from AIP to landing interview =)

ahaha ;) The name is because I'm from France =) =) but I guess it gets confusing in Canada =P

I already explained my whole landing interview story and I just wanted to say thanks everybody for your support. This forum helped me a lot ! You guys rock ! Today, I received a mail from CIC with my open work permit ... 2 days after becoming a PR ... ahahah completely useless

not home right now but will send you one of the letters once I get home

I doubt you lived in a different place every single month for 12 years ... So: Jan 2000 - July 2000 address 1 July 2000 - Feb 2002 address 2 Feb 2002 - April 2003 address 3 etc etc same for the jobs/activities.

This must have been really tough, a lot tougher than for me and I already thought it was hard ;) Great he was able to do it :)

I had to fill out all addresses I lived in since I was 18, which was only 6 years at the time I filled out my application. In these 6 years I had lived in 3 different countries, worked in 4 countries, been to 3 universities and lived in 15 different addresses. I did provide everything. Fill it...

We got only of of the letters notarized out of the 4. I guess if you have enough proves, then notarizing the letters isn't necessary

If you give me your personal email address I can send you one or 2 that we sent so you can see what they look like. We sent 4 in total: one from a colleague of mine (who actually introduced us), 2 from friends that my husband knew before in knew me and one from my parents in law

It was in Calgary ;)

You can but you will have to explain how you plan on supporting her

Do they give it no matter what ? even if you're not from a visa exempt country ? that's nice =) =) it would make sense. it should be the same in all provinces

Hi there ! First comment as a Permanent Resident of Canada =) =) I'm so happy now ! Here's how it went: my appointment was at 2pm. I got there at 1.15 (yes I know, it's very early, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be late =)) When I arrived, there was a huge line up (probably 50 people)...

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I landed yesterday and was able to get my SIN straight after. I was told that this is possible only for people from visa exempt country and provided that the CIC agent stamps your passport, signs it and adds the COPR number underneath the stamp. Hope...

Landing interview today at 2pm. Wish me luck =)

When we filled the application out we wrote, for common-law: 1 year after we moved in together for the relationship: the day we started dating

=) =) =) =) my pleasure :)

A support letter is a letter that your friends or family members can write to say that they know you are in a genuine relationship. It is better to have them especially if you're not married. We got some close friends, colleagues, and my parents in-law to write letters. They were very touching...

I agree it should not be like that. However, there are always reasons behind timelines. If everything was fair, if every country was in peace with the others, and if there was no economic/political/military reason to prefer some countries over others, all timelines would be the same =) =)
