Hey guys. It has been a while since I posted, so I wanted to drop by and give an update. We completed our PR landing on the weekend of May 16th at Peace bridge (Buffalo and Fort Erie). We drove to the bridge, showed our passports and COPR to the border immigration officer and were told to park...

So you listed your spouse as "non accompanying," which means she CAN NOT travel with you to Canada since she will not get a visa. If you want to change the spouse to "accompanying" before your application processing is over, then you should add her as "accompanying" by contacting your VO...

No problem for landing. BUT, you might have problem travelling with the expiring passport. A lot of airlines won't allow you to board the plane. So you should also renew your passport and travel with the two passports.

Your PR visa will be cancelled, application will reopen, and visas will be issued together when the spouse's processing is complete. This is IF you get married after stamping and before landing. If you get married after landing, you will need to sponsor your spouse through the family class.

Received on Feb 10. The visa was stamped on Feb 13, and tracking for return was activated on Feb 18.

We received our passports with visas today!

Passport with visas received today. This ends our wait for the maple leaf PR visa. Good luck to everybody else!

They only asked for documents and forms needed to add the baby to the application. Additional family information form is NOT one of them (since it is for your extended family that cannot be part of your application). So this form is not required.

Not necessary if one has LMIA approved permanent job offer or PNP.

A CIO agent told you that? Once the file gets transferred to a VO, CIO DOES NOT send any mail/email. And once file is transferred, CIO can't give you information about your file since it's not there anymore. So the person is probably giving you wrong information (not uncommon). An AOR is...

Ottawa sends MR directly without AOR. It usually takes a month or two from PER to get MR from Ottawa. But if you just added your wife, you should expect some delay.

I have no idea how you understood this from what I said. Even though we don't know for sure how CIC or any VO works, we can certainly look at the trends and form some sort of rational opinion. After all that's one of the reasons why this forum is so helpful. And it doesn't hurt that some...

From US. Thanks.

The opening of file for review is generally first in first out. BUT, the COMPLETION time of all the required checks and reviews varies for each applicant based on their history. Hence, MR and PPR aren't always first-come-first serve since those depend on how long it takes for all the checks to...

Today begins with a great news for us. Expresspost tracker activated last night, and expected delivery is this Saturday. Our passports reached Ottawa on 02/10 for anyone interested.

Visa is issued for all members of the family at the same time when all the checks are complete for everybody. With spouse's medicals pending, the PA can't get visa until after spouse's (and the baby's) medicals are complete.

PR visa is a one time visa that will let you enter Canada. This visa is valid one year from medical. Once you use this visa and enter Canada within the visa validity, you will then get PR card, which is then valid for 5 years from its issuance.

This is normal. This means you 4 years Pakistani degree is equivalent to a 3 years Canadian degree. What is important is that this means you will get points for a Bachelors degree.

Congratulations! It's funny how you were just asking everybody else about their tracker and turns out it's your turn for the update!

I am confused. Do you already have an ITA, or is your question related to filling out the express entry form? If it is about the EE form, then like I said in my previous post, you will have an option to choose if the work experience was obtained during a full-time study. If you choose "YES" to...
