I landed at Beaver Creek YT on 29th Aug (Friday evening). The present processing time to get the first PR card for new immigrants as per the web is 34 days. There is no update on my card status yet. To day I happen to give a call to the office of the Border Security Force at Beaver Creek to...

Hi, I read in the CIC website that "ECAS" statuses are generally updated every Tuesday. (If at all they update !! - I have seen applicants reporting no update or late updates as well) Also "Processing Time" estimates are generally updated on Fridays. (Again if at all CIC updates)

We drove from Alaska and made the "Landing" at Beaver Creek on 29th Aug. What a pleasant welcome at the Canadian Border Security Post! (Quite a contrast to American side)

I don't have a clue about Family sponsorship and medical waiver.

Please be aware that your Canadian PR visa stamped in your passport, is valid for a "SINGLE ENTRY" only. Once you enter Canada for the first time, which is called the "Landing Process" for your immigration into Canada, that visa becomes null and void for all practical purposes. You will submit...

My friend, I understand your concerns. Please don't think I am trying to discourage you. You should understand the realities. This happened a while ago, may be five years back..I knew one family of three sisters and one brother, all well qualified and experienced applied to CIC for immigrating...

In my opinion, the best option available to you, is to send your passport through your sister who lives in US and request her to mail by FEDEX. But I would strongly suggest to buy the prepaid "Canada - Xpresspost/USA" from Canada and enclose it self addressed for the return service. It comes...

Medical When you are advised by CIC (through NDVO) to do your Medical, they will send you the printed medical forms for each one of you generated in their system with unique IME number and bar code, which you are supposed to carry with copies of your photos. You can do your medical with any...

Re: Passport Expiry dates and Canadian PR stamp Yes, That is what I understand ... it takes approximately 3 months to get your PR card. I guess the IO at the port of entry will ask you to furnish him with an address where you would like to receive your PR card. In case you do not have an...

Passport Expiry dates and Canadian PR stamp I see postings from some members having concern about their passports getting closer to expiry dates. I think the following explanation will clear some doubts. CIC after approval of your PR visa will send back your stamped passport with that shining...

Apart from hand writing my address on the prepaid "Xpresspost/USA" envelope correctly at the "TO" column,, I wrote my address at the back of the envelope as well in block letters, to be on the safe side. I found the address sticker provided by Canadapost was fairly small. However when I...

Passport sent on 17th Oct and received back on 2nd Nov. You can see it on the profile under my name on all my posting.

1. Sending scanned copy of RPRF by E mail is perfectly fine. 2. If your Doctor is CIC approved,(I hope you have chosen the one from the list at CIC web site) he knows what to do. Since you mentioned that the Doctor had sent the report electronically, he is E enabled. So submission of medical...

Blood work is done at random not on fasting. (My medical exam was at 14:30Hrs) I don't think it is a disqualifying factor if blood glucose is above normal level. I guess blood check is done for HIV and not glucose. You may like to confirm it with your Doctor's office where you intend to have...

Hi Thanks to all who have congratulated me filling this forum with their messages. I am humbled by your congratulatory posts. Normally I would have preferred to send pm individually. I have not decided yet when to migrate to Canada. Probably in the coming summer I will move. By then, I wish...

The Canadian PR process successfully ended after 5 months and 28 days !! Hi Everyone, Finally I got back my passport with a shining Canadian PR Immigrant stamp for a single entry to day. I had mailed my passport by Fedex on 16th Oct to CPPO which they received the very next day. In the whole...

Finally got my passport back from CPPO today! (Passport sent on 16th Oct / Recd by CPPO 0n 17th Oct / CPPO sends back after visa stamping on 31st Oct / Received today on 2nd Nov.

My observation: Normally CPPO hands over the packages to Post office in the evening for shipment. So if you want to see if the tracker is getting activated for the first time, I suggest you do it after18:30Hrs Eastern time. (Mine got activated at 18:26) No use in logging in other times to...

Just now my tracker got activated. I hope to get my passport in a couple of days.
