I had 2 NOC codes - I really only used one to support my application and I could justify the 12 months of employment with it. My other job is freelance, so its a little more difficult to prove as I am self employed.

darn it, I should have gone to Peace, they had ran out of Canadian flags at Pacific. I wanted a flag LOL!

I landed yesterday at the Pacific Crossing. I went over the border to do some shopping and when I came back the wait was less at Pacific than Peace so I went that way. It's fairly uneventful. You have to go inside to be processed, they ask if the info on the COPR is correct. Ask a couple more...

My COPR arrived in the mail yesterday! Dated January 30, and recieved Feb 7 in Vancouver. Today seems like a nice day to become a Canadian Resident. Going to land down at Peace Arch!

AWESOME !!!! congrats!! :D :D :D

Congrats! Looks like doing upfront medical may have expedited your application a little. My timeline is very similar to you, now in the waiting stages for COPR :)

Just checked ecas and status is now Decision Made!!

not sure who maintains our April 2013 spreadsheet, but should we put in a column for 'Decision Made' date? I would be curious to see the timelines on this from when medicals have been received.

woohoo!!

so not everyone gets a Passport Request? Was wondering about that - I am also from a visa-exempt country.

hooray!!

yikes that is cheap. I just got my MR done by Dr Ciszak in Vancouver BC - $176 was his fee ONLY, then $60 for blood work and $55 for x-ray.... The Doctor spent less than 4 minutes with me and his admin did everything else. Report was done quickly though and it was emailed to me 3 business days...

oh good to know! Thanks :) And congrats on the PR !!

Congrats Kaytea, Can I ask why the US did a refusal of entry? I would be concerned to have that recorded on my passport. My boyfriend has been refused entry before and they interrogate him every time he crosses into US now.

both ! I was out of Canada for the whole of December and only just back now. Medical set up for Jan 16.

Got the emails for Medical Examination request, Biodata and request for payment today!

Hey folks: Any more updates on medical requests out there?? Seemed like a bunch came through on October 10, but then it went very silent.

passport control did send me to immi office as they were trying to print off the new BOWP - but in the end they just let me through!

correct - when they approve the BOWP you will get a email and it says the new WP is in the mail. So I just printed that out and presented it to the border guys at YVR. They were able to see on the system that the new BOWP had been sent to me, so they just let me through - didn't even stamp my...

Hey there, I was travelling in the states when my BOWP came through. My WP had already expired but I knew the BOWP would be coming through and it was mailed to my Canadian address. When I re-entered Canada I had the BOWP approval email and they were okay with that. They actually tried to...
