Based on my own experience in moving to Canada and the abysmal experience in dealing with the various Canadian authorities prior and after moving here - I'd have to say that the decision to emigrate to Canada was the worst decision and the biggest mistake I ever made. The numerous authorities...

This is where I found the location information for Immigrant services - I'm sure you could check directly with them if your PR card can be sent to them. I cannot now find where I read this information so please check that it is correct. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/map/services.asp...

Well, I'm glad that was simple enough to resolve! I have no intention of lying or misleading anyone - and would advise anyone else in this position to do nothing other than tell the truth about their intentions. As pointed out in this argument - if you have no intention of moving to Canada then...

You will have to check and get other advice on this but I'm sure I've read something along the lines of; you have to give a residential address for PR card and driving license etc - PO box addresses will not be considered as residential addresses. However, you can use the address of your local...

Thanks for the confirmation of that David1697 - that's very helpul.

OK - thanks for confirming that, I was under the impression I was waiting for a PR visa from what I have read on the CIC website - confusing to say the least! I assume the COPR wall also have an expiry date? Should I expect CIC to request my passport or will they just send/issue the COPR? I...

rhcohen2014, that has confused me even more - surely it's a PR visa I am now waiting for in order to 'Land'? but I am aware I do not need a visa to travel to Canada as a visitor.

Thanks Steaky, The visa expires 12 months from the date of medical! so how long approx does it take for the visa to be issued after the medical? That's a very small window of time considering how much needs to be done, assuming it's going to be a few months before I get the passport request.

I have some questions which I cannot find an answer to so I would be greatful for any guidance; I'm currently waiting for my federal self employed visa to be issued by London, I believe I have to be considered as Landed in Canada for my PR card to be issued. The problem I have is that I have a...

I've applied as self employed - federal.

Thanks for the replies; CIC have sent the appropriate information for the medical - and I've since found out that Right of Landing fees is a term no longer used (which begs the question, why use that term in an email to applicants!) as it's not the "Right of Permanent residence Fee" My medical...

I'd be greatful if anyone can help. On the 28th of August this year I received and email from Immigration stating; Dear Client The Officer has now issued instructions for medical and Right of Landing fees. Medical instructions will follow under separate cover. Sincerely, But I also...

Thanks for the info Noosh - it's much appreciated

Yes it was under Federal, not Quebec. I've scoured the net for info and find it hard to get any solid info' on what's actually going on. I would have thought that considering how many peoples lives are in limbo at the moment, information from the relevant departments would be a little more...

Hi sckel - the Visa I've applied for is Business class, self employed which I believe is part of the Investor/entrepreneur series of visa's, I may be wrong on that though. However, the visa I've applied for is definitely as stated above. Hi Lubs - it clearly states on my acknowledgement letter...

I'd be interested to know if anyone knows the reasons why the Entrepreneur class visa are taking so long to process for UK applicants. I made my initial application in February 2010, the payment receipt and acknowledgement letter I received in March 2010 stated that the approx processing time...
