Not sure which office you will land, according to the agent in Vancouver office. He said they are using new system. Presentation took around 45 min. At the end of presentation, the presenter use a ruler to mesure each applicant's PR photos. The presenter said there was once someone brought 8...

Hi everyone, Today, we got the CoPR at Vancouver office. Including us, there were 11 couples. At the beginning, all of us got together in the same room and listened to the presentation for 30 min. Basically, what you can do with PR and when to apply for citizenship. After that, all went back to...

I got both stage approval and my landing interview is next week. The reason I ask is because it seems to me the duration of OWP is related to the process of 2nd stage. In other word, if people receive 6 month work permit, they may get 2nd approval very shortly. If 1 year OWP, that means 2nd...

Just receive my Open Work Permit yesterday. Interestingly, it only valid for 6 months. I though CIC usually will issue 1 year OWP. I wonder if everyone also receive 6 months work permit? ;D

You just need to keep calling them.

SMA.DE, why don't you give them a call and let them know you paid already? I have a feeling your receipt of payment was lost somewhere while processing. ;)

I did pay for the fee and included the receipt in the application. On landing letter, it didn't say "our recordes show.... fee". It did say"Please bring proof of payment for the Right of Permanent Residency Fee.". I recommend give CIC a call and tell them you have paid the RPRF already. You can...

Just checked ECas today (haven't check for last few days): Both Sponsorship and Permanent Residence Application Status have changed to DM. My landing interview is next week in Vancouver. Will share interview process afterward. ;)

Congratulation! Thank you for sharing. I will update if there's any difference in my interview next week. ;)

For those who may be curious about PR card processing time (I believe count from the day of landing): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp Currently, it's 55 BUSINESS day (almost 2 and half month). I believe, you still can't travel out of Canada until you receive the...

I think the sponsor should show up. On my interview letter, it highlights "Please ensure that your sponsor attends the interview with you as there may be a requirement to question". You can bring your own interpreter, no babies or small children. At the end of the letter said, "if you are...

This is how it go through: I received AIP letter on Sep 10 by mail(I didn't check my mail box the week before). Then, I checked ECas, it was still "In Process" in Sponsorship Application & PR Application. So, I through it will be at least another 2 months for 2nd stage approval. So, I didn't go...

So landing is the same as interview? The interview office is in Vancouver. According to the letter, it's also PR card centre. ::)

That's why I'm kind of worry... The letter didn't mention any about 2nd stage. That's all I got from my ECas (posted previously). The letter only said interview date and bring your travelling document and 2 piece of photos for PR (not passport). So, does it mean we will receive PR on the same...

Today, I went to my mail box and found a letter from CIC. I though it's the Work Permit (I've talked to one of the CIC agent before, and they said I will receive next week in following week). …………… I opened the letter and it said "You have scheduled to appear for an interview and to receive...

Hi, I have few question about maternity and parental benefits. If my wife (applicants) gives birth, can we or one of us get EI during maternity and/or parental leave? I understand we should not apply EI during the PR process. Does it mean that we can apply EI after we received PR card? or my...

Just checked ECas, the status has changed from Received to In Process. Following is the ECas message: _______________________________________________________________________________________ We received your application for permanent residence on November 2, 2011. We started processing your...

Thank you

Hi, I'm just curious what happen if my wife is pregnant and/or give birth during the waiting process (before stage 1, before stage 2, before interview, before landing). Will the new born baby affect the waiting time (lengthen the process) of current stage or CIC will re-evaluation from stage 1...

Just saw your message. I was busy working recently. Good to know other applicants who are also in same month. Hopefully, we will hear good news in October. ;)
