Maybe they scanned it just because we were together. I am not sure, since I didn't really pay attention did the other Canadian passengers' passports get scanned, but I could tell a lot of people were approaching the boarding counter, and some passengers were even called by name to come and...

I can partially confirm what you are saying. I am NOT visa exempt. Recently I traveled to my home country (I have a PR card). On the way back, they asked for my PR card even for the first flight that didn't go to Canada (Zagreb-Frankfurt), and to board the flight to Canada I had to go to the...

Since the CoPR is meant for the applicant, it is always sent to the applicant. Sponsor has nothing to do with it.

I believe he mentioned to say you are a visitor to the airline company, not CBSA. Anyways, to clarify, for anyone who is visa-exempt: DO NOT say you are waiting for your PR card to the AIRLINE (you have to lie, so do this only if you are comfortable with it), but you have to tell the truth to...

I really don't know. My Ecas updated within a week, so I didn't really pay attention to other people on the forum, when did theirs update. Maybe try searching through the forum to see what others are saying...Sorry, but I don't want to start guessing.

I didn't really have problems, since my PR card and MSP enrollment came in the same week, so I used my PR card for the BC services one. I know some other people had problems getting their card with CoPR. I guess you are right, it depends on the agent. Anyways, can't help much to people trying to...

It wasn't really a problem, I was just wondering back then what was the difference. It turned out it doesn't matter if it was a stamp or hand signature, I got my SIN with no problems. I am not sure about OHIP, since I am in BC, and here you cannot get your BC services card without a PR card...

That is their policy, not to check until the posted time has passed, although some of them even mention 2 weeks after the posted time. As I said, I didn't see anyone complaining about the PR card not being processed, at least not on this thread, so it must be rare. I wouldn't worrh about it. The...

I wouldn't worry about that part, they will never send a card to an address outside of Canada. I am sorry, I cannot give you an advice about this, since it hadn't happened to me and I am not sure how it works. If you do make a solemn declaration, you will have to wait another 3 months for a...

I advise you both to call CIC and check what address they have in their system, since it is often different then ecas. Also, regardless of what they say they have, try and contact someone at your old address and ask them nicely to contact you if they get your PR card. It has happened a few times...

I don't understand it either, but they said file it, and you know Al Capone's story, soooo :D Better to listen to them :P Well, T4 only shows how much you have earned. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't actually send the slip to the CRA? You have to save it IF they ever decide to check your...

I can, probably you think it's the same thing (read my signature line >:( ). It has happened before that Canadapost loses mail, even Xpresspost one. Unfortunately CIC is very relaxed about PR cards and they use regular mail. I will never understand this, and how come they are not worried about...

PR cards for different family members often come separately. Maybe wait until the end of this week before reapplying?

Yeah, I read it, too, multiple times. But as I mentioned, both the accountant and CRA said I had to file taxes, and in 2014 I was actually only a visitor. I also tried to confirm with CRA does it mean I CAN file them if I WANT TO, but they said I HAVE TO. I called three times, got different...

You are right, I can assure you that there is no such a line (we sent you correspondence...). The only other line you will get is after landing "name entered Canada at border crossing on date and became a Permanent Resident. Some people get a new section for PR card later on, but most don't...

Not really true. In 2014 I had a status of visitor in Canada, but since I got my residency in early 2015 and didn't leave in between, I was considered a resident for tax purposes from the day I arrived in Canada, and had to file taxes, although I had no income and didn't go for any benefits. I...

No problem, I try to help if I can :) At least you know on time, so you can make arrangements. I am sure most people are normal enough to understand such a situation and contact you if/when they get it (if you explain it to them politely).

I am so sorry to hear that. The reason you got the request is, apparently (as I was told by some CIC call agent that sounded like he actually knew what he was talking about), they do some "processing" for the card first, which takes a couple of weeks, and AFTER they're done they scan the photos...

Mail forwarding doesn't work for PR cards, because they come in an envelope marked "DO NOT FORWARD". Someone back a couple of pages mentioned you can use some other sort of mail forwarding, so search for it. Canada post will not do it for sure!

I had the same request back when I was getting approved, and I thought that happens only if they move your file from one office to another (like mine, from Vienna to Ottawa), or for non visa exempt persons. Weird. In mine actually they didn't even ask for appendix B, they just asked for pictures...
