I took my oath today - that's the end of the line for me! About 130 of us on the Zoom call mostly from BC, AB, SK and MB, the whole thing took just over 2 hours. Lots of happy faces and red & white paraphernalia - despite being a virtual ceremony you could tell how much everyone had waited for...

I also got the official oath invite by email today (November 23 on Zoom). Wish it was in person but oh well. Type: Single, online Location: Vancouver Application submitted: November 2, 2021 AOR: February 8, 2022 Background check complete: July 21, 2022 Test invite: July 29, 2022 Test taken...

Same here - I'm a Vancouver online applicant and my tracker now shows an update for the oath ceremony taking place November 23. Looks like I'll see you there! Hooray! Congrats to others who have also received good news recently. Type: Single, online Location: Vancouver Application submitted...

Thanks bud! If there's anything I learned from my PR experience it's that IRCC operates without any observable logic or accountability whatsoever.. so I don't even try to figure it out anymore!

Hi all, just thought I'd share my timeline here as well. Type: Single, online Location: Vancouver Application submitted: November 2, 2021 AOR: February 8, 2022 Background check complete: July 21, 2022 Test invite: July 29, 2022 Test taken: August 4, 2022 Test marked as complete: August 10, 2022...

I'm pretty sure the border officer made a mistake. They're not always on the top of things unfortunately. Unless they suddenly changed the rules somehow without telling anyone. The only issue here I can think of is the fact that the permit you need is for a new employer. Did you have any...

No signature on the physical card. I think the signature is included in the data within.

I received my PR card today. Landed on May 27. I did get ECAS updates about my PR card. I know it doesn't happen for everyone, so I guess I was just extra lucky.

Yes I did - I have a separate application visible for my PR card below the actual PR application. Both now show complete. The PR card application appeared there last week.

Just received my PR card in the mail today. Took only a few days to arrive after it got sent, which is a happy surprise.

I received my PR card in the mail today. That's the end of this journey! Lots of luck to everyone who's still waiting.

My ECAS says my PR card was put in process August 17 and mailed out to me on August 24. Haven't received it yet, hopefully next week. I landed on May 27. I have no idea why my ECAS shows updates about the PR card, when for so many other people it doesn't say anything.

I landed on May 27th, and my ECAS says my PR card was put into processing on August 17 and mailed out on August 24th. Haven't received it yet; hopefully next week. And FYI, not everyone unfortunately gets ECAS updates about the PR card. It seems completely random who gets them and who doesn't...

I'm a PNP instead of CEC, but just wanted to let you guys know that my ECAS was just updated today. It says my PR card went into processing on August 17. I landed on May 27 at Peace Arch BC.

If you can restore your status to visitor, then after the restoration takes effect you'll be in Canada legally, and you should be fine. Obviously you can't work while on visitor status, but at least you can stay here without worries. When it comes to flagpoling for a new work permit, you can...

If your only concern is how fast you can get PR, then my advice is to look for any other province except BC, Alberta and Ontario. Generally those three have more people coming in that what the system can handle, so it may be easier to squeeze through in one of the other provinces. It's very...

It really does not matter. It's just a formality that doesn't carry any actual significance.

Congrats! It's great to hear that your PR journey ended the way you wanted it to. :)

For me the tracker said it was successfully delivered even though it wasn't in my mailbox. So obviously I freaked out... but turned out it was marked as delivered when it was placed into the grey Canada Post hold box around the corner (the one where they leave all the bulk mail in the morning...

It'll take a few days. I didn't check my ECAS every day so I'm not sure exactly when mine changed, but it was within a week.
