    There seems to be a delay in processing PR cards. Judging from some past comments here, I'm not the only one waiting. I landed on Feb. 4th of this year and I am yet to receive my PR Card. I just called CIC customer care (1 888-242-2100) and after a few verification questions, I was told mine was...

    I finally landed in the local CIC office in Edmonton this morning. The whole process took about 30 minutes and all I needed were the letter from CIC, my passport and my current study permit. No passport photographs or bank account statement necessary. I applied using work permit from my country...

    I just called my local CIC office in Edmonton to book an appointment for "landing." I got February 4th. So, I'm just gonna stay ans do it here. No flag polling for me. If you are in Edmonton, you might wanna consider this option.

    Mine took about a month to show. It is good practice to confirm with the clinic that they have actually sent the results across. If they have, I see no reason why you should worry. I know, easier said than done.

    "PS: I am NOT AWARE of any country..." That shows my lack of knowledge already. Lol. It's English. Besides, don't know what immigration policies have to do with passports of CITIZENS. Thanks for your comment too.

    You guys crack me up. You have the choice whether or not you wanna staple your SP to your passport. The last time I left the country, i went without my SP and I was allowed back in after a few questions. Having said that, it is good practice to always have your SP stapled or tucked in your...

    Jan 5th. Its a bit too early for you to see updates. You should start getting concerned if you see nothing after 2 weeks. Meanwhile, call the clinic to confirm that your results have been transmitted to CIC

    Guys, relax. We are all in the same boat. I would panic if other guys were getting PPR and I wasn't. No one has gotten PPR since November. We all can't have issues with our applications. If you have done medicals and submitted the requested documents, all that's left for you to do is wait. For...

    It really depends on how reliable the process back home is. I did not get mine until I was asked by CIC and it took me less than 2 weeks to finger print, mail it home (Nigeria) and have the certificate mailed back to me. I used UPS for both stages. If you are not too sure, you might wanna start...

    Sorry to hear about your situation. Going to the branch might be a better option than talking with someone over the phone. These directives are however central and might not be reversible. For guys applying in the future, just to let you guys know that you have the option to pay your fees online...

    Thanks for explaining darknight1. I however believe that once toy have been asked to go do medicals, you have been found eligible on all counts by everyone. The only that ng that can disqualify you from then on is if you do not supply a requested document or smth goes wrong with security check, etc.

    I'm confused here guys. You have done your medicals. You also received a mail during your document request which stated that you have been found eligible for the stream under which you applied. Why then are you still worried about the calculation of points, etc? This is not a critique. I'm...
