Congratulations. Didn't know that ECAS showed status of PR card. It took a good 8 weeks for us to get it consistent to some blog reports so be patient. On the other hand, make sure you apply for OHIP early.. Some report that you can start counting towards the 3 month moratorium from date you get...

Most of the times, since the medical expired while it was in process, they will make decision one month before the expiry or extend the medical. Don't worry

I strongly advice taking direct flights or connecting through Asia (ie Narita, Japan or Incheon, Korea) The reason is that PR landing is a complicated process that takes a long time but there is no way of predicting how long it will take for whatever the reason. For example, the officer who...

I think they mentioned being closed only for two days so not too bad

Maybe once I get all the details ironed out I can begin a thread on how to settle... also a nightmare... But for now, first steps should be: - get medical insurance (CIC recommends a few on their website I believe) - get SIN - get library and bank account (new immigrant accounts don't seem like...

Hi. We got PR early July and landed with no issues shortly after in Pearson. Sorry for not updating as often but it has been crazy adjusting life here, learning English, finding a job. The landing experience was nice. The officer was quite friendly and informative. However, the logistics was...

True true.. It has been crazy with all the running around for adjusting here but also wedding preps and looking for a job.... How can I update?

Thanks.

Hello. Trying to help parents visit from China. Submitted visitor visa application online. I keep on getting emails that there is a new notification and that I should check MyCIC, but when I log in there is nothing. This has happened already 4 times in the past week. I am afraid that I am...

Of course I read the link I posted... What I meant, is if the limit for not reporting is $10K per person or per family. The reason is that we do not want to fill a long document listing too many things as we want to avoid secondary check which lining up only can take an hour and another hour...

Hi. I have a question for parents to visit us in Canada from China. Is it recommended to apply for supervisa from beginning or do you recommend doing tourist visa first and do supervisa at next trip once they already have history of having visited canada?

Hi guys. So anything else that we need to show other than COPR? Are there interviews? What is the process and what do we need to prepare? Thx

Hello. This question is not for spouse but for parents. Once my wife gets PR and we schedule wedding here in Toronto, we need to get her parents to come so they can attend the ceremony. Which is the safest and fastest way of getting them here? standard visitor visa? Any tips? A travel...

Since you only have 30 days left, to avoid delays or missing the deadline, I would write to CIC and ask them. If you resend the old one assuming they lost it but happens to be that something is not to their liking you may miss the deadline to send the proper one.

Thanks a lot.. This helps a lot.. Wow.. they got it so fast...

I hope so. My story is not a layover. My spouse has more family outside of China so we were thinking of doing a small farewell party slash reception in Korea before coming to Canada. Didn't want to raise any red flags or suspicions. Thx

Just wondering, if a spouse was approved as as family class outbound sponsorship (China), does it matter if she lands to Canada from another country? Will this raise any red flags at interviews at airport?

Question. The maximum amount of cash that one can bring is $10,000. I plan to go to pick my spouse. If we both carry the cash, is the new limit $20,000 or is it still $10,000 per application or per family?
