Thanks! We arrived at the border at 9 pm and left precisely at 10 pm. No people, but we waited a bit for our refusal letter from US side. Not sure what was the issue, perhaps it was our daughter who in fact has passport from visa exempt country. Maybe they were deciding whether or not to put an...

So we landed last night at Rainbow Bridge with incorrect original entry date. Brought that email with us and showed to the officer. He was a bit upset as he has absolutely no way to make any kind of changes there. But he wrote on my husband's CoPR a little note saying that the date is incorrect...

Well, it is their standard number.... I tried couple of times today and for the love of me cannot understand which option is mine to make an appointment. Or is it just the question of getting to speak with an agent on whichever option?

I am trying to find info how to land at CIC Office, but they say you need to be invited.... How can I make an appointment? Also, has anybody landed at Toronto Pearson without physically flying off anywhere?

My husband (PA) and I both applied for BOWP online after filling out questionnaire. Due to god know what wrong answer our kid got omitted and we were told to apply for her on paper. Oh well. These funny requests do pop up from time to time, also during regular visitor visa applicaitons (for...

These are my intentions exactly! Will print it out and insist they do it. Will try for sure. ;D I was positively shocked to have received it so soon!!!!! Don't think that ever happened before. And will report after it is done. Can someone quickly tell me if I can do landing same way as...

Forgot to mention, that last night after discovering the mistake with original landing date, we sent an email to CIC to the address shown on cover letter that accompanied CoPR. Just now received a reply:

Thanks! So peeps at the border _for sure_ cannot do that? Or is it up to immigration officer?

Hello ! Got our CoPR yesterday and the same issue - PA's original date of entry is incorrect. What is up with that and CIC? I can see from this thread that we can still land with no problem, but obviously would not want anything to interfere with subsequent citizenship application. Funny thing...

Hello kind people, Finally got our CoPRs in the post. Yay! Need to land now. We are living in Toronto, so I am still trying to understand the process of landing from within the country. Somebody mentioned it can be done at the airport? Meaning crossing the border and walking right back in...

Oh thanks! It seems we are going through FSW2. It seems no preference is given to either one kind? Everyone is waiting for such a long time.

Apologies for a rookie question but what's the difference between FSW1 and FSW2?

anupr, as far as I know you can change your employer but then you need to 1. go through the same process of getting new Work Permit and 2. notify Ottawa of all the changes. ' I would include the new Work Permit, all the forms where changes got made (the principal, the background). And of...

Is there anyone on this thread who applied directly to Ottawa?

Well, that's just the thing. We are still applying under the old rules so I was a bit worried since the centre opened so recently...

Thank you so much, Trick. I am leaning more towards Ottawa even because I am already here in Canada and it will be easier sending additional documents and so on. So if people are waiting since Jan 2010... It's over 3 years now! Am I reading it right? What about trying to speed up the process...

Hello kind people! Can anyone post an update on Moscow's timeline? Is it still around 13 months or has it shrunk/expanded? Many thanks!

Hello everyone! We are getting ready to apply now but thought I'd ask here first. CIC website shows that processing time for FSW in Ottowa is 8 months but after reading this thread it sort of looks untrue. I have a choice of applying either to Moscow or to Ottowa so need to decide very soon...
