Oh, no, definitely be honest with them. I don't think the question effects the decision. I think perhaps they want to know your plans and have you be prepared for the border if your card hasn't arrived yet. rhcohen2014's advice sounds good.

I'm not entirely sure why she asked that question, but since we aren't, I said no. I'm also planning to travel home now that everything is done. I miss my family and 2 years is so long! But we can't make the trip just yet, we have other things we need to get in order. Plus, the paranoid, worried...

My landing date was yesterday! We were super nervous as well. We actually got to the office a whole hour before our appointment. Our appointment was in Saskatoon. I gave the letter I received in the mail to the gentleman at the door and he took it to the window. There were two ladies before us...

Quick question, is it necessary to bring a copy of your application with you to the appointment to finalize the PR? My appointment is on Tuesday and I've been searching high and low for our copy for a week now and I cannot for the life of me find it. Even our digital copies have gone missing...

Oooh! Oh my goodness! I had no idea this was the DM! Oh, this is such good news! I'm so glad I came here for clarification! Thank you so much! And thank you even more for the estimated waiting time. I've been waiting by the phone for a week now, so maybe I'll give that a break.

I received this email on Feb 5th. When I get the call, will this appointment be the interview? Anyone know about how long it takes them to contact a person to arrange the appointment? A few weeks?

Okay, so I received my meds request yesterday and I've got 60 days to get the medical exam done. I'm freaking out a bit because I'm worried I'm going to get to the appointment and not have everything I need. The letter specifically says that I'll need to bring "Any medical reports or test...

I'm in Saskatchewan, so I think I should be fine. The letter I received said I'd be receiving my work permit soon and that, if I hadn't already, I could apply to study as well.

Thanks everyone! I'm still in shock. It hasn't sunk in yet that after over a year, we've finally moved to stage 2. The waiting has been such a strain on our marriage. Hopefully with both of us working, we can move forward a bit. :] Here's hoping our good fortune is shared with the rest of you...

I just need to share. I'm so excited. We sent our application in on July 31, 2013. This morning I checked my email and we FINALLY made it through stage 1! My husband was approved as my sponsor and I'm FINALLY going to be getting my work permit. I can FINALLY get a job and I can FINALLY get some...

As others have said, the medicals are optional to be sent in. For my husband and I, the medical office we were working with was really jerking us around. I originally had an appointment which was cancelled because the panel physician went on vacation. When it came to rescheduling and I called...

That's super great to know, thanks Alurra! I mostly just wanted a timeline to go by, so having this rough estimate is good. I've been prepared for the long wait for a while now. I've actually embraced my crafty side and have been knitting, spinning, and crocheting just to keep from going mad...

This is exactly what I meant! I've been confused ever since they told me they received our application. Although it is nice to have confirmation that the email I got on the 30th of last month was indeed our AOR!

Is the AOR when Stage 1 starts?

I'm thinking that may take about two weeks, then. Going from one coast to another plus crossing the border between countries may delay it. Don't take my word on it, though! Hopefully it gets there a lot quicker!

Depending on what you send and where it's going, I'm pretty sure it'll take anywhere between 1-3 weeks. My mom and I send mail frequently back and forth to each other. She's in Pennsylvania and I'm in Saskatchewan. We're not in the big main cities, but letters for us take about a week and...

Thanks for the input, Nigea! My husband and I just talked about it and we decided to go with the visitor extension for now. Otherwise we'd be really rushed to get our immigration forms put together and sent out by the 9th. The visitor extension can be sent out later today and we'd rather be safe...

Okay, so I think a little more clarification is in order here. My passport was stamped for June 9th. Would sending in my OWP with my inland application before that date grant me implied status, or would I be better off applying for an extension as a visitor just to be safe before we send in the...

This is good to know. We were planning on submitting the OWP with our immigration application anyway. So from what I understand here, if we submit all our forms (OWP and PR app) on June 6 and they're received June 7, I will have the implied status? So if we submit all our forms and wait for...
