Our PR card arrived 52 days after we landed. The border agent filled in some form online and we never had to submit any application for the PR card. He did it for us.

Yes, Med request and RPRF is the biggest hurdle. Nine weeks after that we received CoPR. Others were much quicker.

Report all work experience or it's misrepresentation. You don't have to substantiate it all with reference letters.

If you leave Canada before the PR card arrives and after you've landed, then you will most likely need a travel document to re-enter Canada. You get the travel document when you are outside of Canada and at a Canadian Embassy. It is good for one re-entry. If your citizenship is from a...

No need for an HR letter. The letter from your supervisor/prof needs to be complete. Check with sample letters and use the word 'assist,' identify the lead statement, and a reference a substantial number of duties

Correct, I never had an HR letter either, and I landed two weeks ago.

I landed on 26 July 2014 and was told PR card would take 6-8 weeks.

You send the fingerprints to RCMP. RCMP uses the fingerprints to do a security check on you. The report containing the results of the security check is what CIC wants. RCMP will send the report to you or to CIC. Your choice.

You can have RCMP send the results directly to CIC or send the results to you and then you forward the results to CIC. My partner needed to have RCMP done and she had RCMP send results to her and she forwarded the results to CIC. This is to catch any mistakes that RCMP may make, ... like...

Excellent!!! Good Work!!!

Landed two days ago (Saturday evening around 7pm). Aside from having to take a ferry from Victoria, BC to Port Angeles, WA, it was quick and easy. After the round trip ferry ride, we waited ~20 minutes while the rest of the ferry passengers went through Customs and Immigration. Then they...

Same with me, … I provided all of that and just landed two days ago.

I am sorry, but from what you have stated, you do not have sufficient funds nor sufficient work experience. Please know that the minimum one-year continuous work experience needs to be from a single NOC code. You can have additional work experience from multiple NOC codes for purpose of...

We received our CoPR in the mail today and will land the weekend of the 26th, 27th. :)

Actually, my name is much more common than my partner's and they asked for RCMP from her and not from me. Who knows what they're thinking?

they never asked for RCMP from me and I have never sent in one and I have a "Decision Made" in eCas.
