I'm sorry you had such a bad experience! I had to "flagpole" at the Osoyoos BC crossing in May last year. I had a nice person who was calm and once I explained what i needed (i had already landed in Vancouver, but the officer didn't stamp my passport and without the stamp you can't apply for a...

Congrats!! I flew in to Vancouver in May to land as a PR. Landed at 1:30pm along with 3 other planes, so the line-ups for passport control were huge! I asked an agent which lineup to use as I was landing as a PR.. She told me to use the line that was for returning residents..so I got through...

Hey everyone! Got my PR card today..woohoo!! Its over for me. I started my full-time job yesterday, so happy to being on the way to normal life.

I thought it was pretty awful also! On the up side.... I just had a phone call and an email about jobs! So I have an interview this afternoon and one at 5!!!

In my case yeah. One place I went into with my resume looked at it and said that they couldn't hire me as not all my references were in Canada. I mean really? I've worked in Canada previously for 2 years, but that was 2005-2007. I never thought not enough Canadian experience would ever be a...

I worked at Bacchus on Glassford street, was there 4 years. I loved it there! Most of the customers were regulars and at the weekend it was super busy and we always had a laugh behind the bar....I would just like to find that here!? I'm finding my accent to be a big problem here, and I may add I...

I'm having the same problem! Left Glasgow on a good wage as a manager in a bar/restaurant, I've been applying for everything and anything also....I started as a part-time liquor store clerk....like 2 shifts a week! I suppose though I can use my staff discount to drown my sorrows ;) A jokes...

So went to service Canada today...got my social insurance number!! Start work on Sunday, sooooo happy! I wonder though, going through the US I was given a letter that stated I was refused entry. Is that likely to affect any further trips to the US?

To all you folk that got decision made or your COPR, congrats!! Make sure the immigration officer stamps ur passport if ur visa exempt when you land! ;) We decided to head to the US border today to flagpole(2nd time) I now have a stamp in my passport and will be applying for my sin first...

So I called the local airport as I was told by CIC that they could stamp my passport so I didn't need to wait till my Pr card came in the mail. The lady I spoke to on the phone was really nice, took my details and said she would call me back. She did, and told me that the officer in Vancouver...

So a wee turn in my saga of becoming a PR....the immigration officer in Vancouver airport didn't complete all of the paperwork for me when I arrived( prob cause he was busy talking to his buddy beside him about how much he made on his house sale!) So I have to flag pole!! What did I pay for...

Congrats! Make sure when u land the officer stamps ur passport! Cause if ur visa exempt u need the stamp to get a sin. Without this u have to wait till ur Pr card arrives, which is at the moment quoted as 6-8 weeks!!! This is the predicament I'm in at the moment....hopefully heading to the...

Hey all! So when I landed last week the immigration officer stapled my copy of COPR into my passport. I've read how important the COPR is and that I should keep it safe, like in a safe ;) The officer didn't stamp my passport, now I'm wondering should I take this out of my passport as it...

Oh well, I guess I will be a lady of leisure after all ;) I'm just glad to be here! Xxx

Hi all! That's me in Canada! Landed in Vancouver after a delay only to wait a further 2 1/2 hrs to see an immigration officer! My husband drove to meet me in the airport, so he had quite a wait, but I can't explain in words how I felt walking out of arrivals and seeing him! I'm in kelowna now...

So I got a lovely email from London yesterday! A personal one saying my COPR was sent out on the 23rd of April and the officer wished me well and said they hoped it arrived before departure next week! How nice eh!? I got home last night to find it had already arrived!! I thought it might be a...

Congrats on in process! For me it was 3 days till my home address changed to Canada and 4 days later I got decision made. :D

So I've checked ecas this morning and I have decision made!!!! Its been 6 months 1 week and 6 days since I applied. I can't explain how happy I feel. I have waited out the past 3 months without my husband, its been very hard but thanks to Skype its been a little easier! I fly to Vancouver next...

So checked ecas this morning......decision made!!! Woohoo!! Good luck to everyone waiting!! Xx

I really hope its soon! I leave in 10 days for Canada and it would be fab to land as a Pr! This forum has been a god send!! Especially since my husband moved back over.
