Hey guys, I am in a weird situation where I have completed my landing formalities recently and my wife will NOT be able to do the landing before the expiry of her copr. Unfortunately there is no way she can travel before the expiry of her copr. I do understand that she will have to go through...

I'm wondering if I should travel back to Canada later (after about 2 months) by applying for a PRTD. Is it a simple procedure to obtain a PRTD? That way, I will be able to collect it from my friend in person when I visit the next time.

I will be doing a short landing soon and plan to have a friend send me the PR card by mailing it internationally. I read somewhere that "if the PR card is detected in the mail (they come with RFID on them these days I believe) during customs it will be sent back to the CIC." How much of this is...

481 is a wonderful score. I'm pretty sure you should get an invite in the next 2-3 draws. I'm not sure if I can help you with reference letters but I can definitely talk about using a consultant. I went through a consultant and personally regretted the decision. Not because they did not do their...

Thank you for your reply r_mittal86. Good luck with your job hunt! :)

@Chiyakam what is the best way to look for a job while you are outside Canada? Do they encourage Skype interviews?

Thank you Meya06 :) Your answers were really helpful.

Hey guys, I'm planning to do a short landing (1 week) in Toronto in July and am planning to rent a car from the airport during my stay there. Any suggestions on whether it is a good idea to rent a car from the airport? If so, which company is recommended? What kind of insurance coverage...

You can also send an email to cpc-ctd-ottawa@cic.gc.ca. I had replied to the passport request email and they replied within a week. Make sure you include the Express Entry application number in the subject of your email to cpc-ctd-ottawa@cic.gc.ca. Include the following details in the email...

There are a few things you will need to consider: Since you are beginning your process now, have a look at your CRS score. Do keep in mind that the cutoffs these days are hovering around 480. So you can expect an ITA sooner if your score is around that range. It is better to get your passport...

Hi Shruti, Were you able to find out the VFS equivalent office in the USA? I tried contacting VAC, LA and they told me they do not accept PR passports.

Can anyone help me out with this? When I call up VAC, Los Angeles they are saying they do not handle PR applications.

Thank you for your reply. I received a mail today morning with request to submit her passport to the LA visa office. So all is well now :) I believe the best way to get this done is to reply back to the "ready for visa" email with necessary details. (although the automated reply suggests that...

I tried looking up on the forum for any posts regarding this but did not find any. Please do point me to one if you find it. I would like to know the process of sending passport to VAC, Los Angeles for stamping. From the PPR email I see the following are required: 1. Passport 2. 2 Photographs...

I just wanted to update on my situation here. I received my stamped passport today along with my CoPR. However, they did not respond to my letter regarding the change of visa office for my wife. I guess I will have to wait for them to respond to my email now. :'(

Thankfully that is not the case here :D I would still be lying to them saying she will come later, knowing that she cannot travel before October 1. Dunno how much will that come back and bite me in the butt! :-X :-\

I did my medicals on August 27th last year. So I'm assuming the expiry on the visa will be around August 27th with a buffer of maybe 2 weeks max. My wife however cannot travel until October 1 as she is in the US and is in the middle of her H1b process. I will be receiving my stamped passport...

@jairichi I'm sorry, but your answer "yes" is for which question? :) Can I still get a PR card for myself ? Can they deny me the PR card as my spouse's educational qualifications were also considered during the calculation of the CRS score?

Hey guys, I am the primary applicant and will be doing the landing sometime in July. My wife however will be unable to do the landing before the expiry of her visa. I understand that this will mean that she will have to go through the PR process all over again. Unfortunately there is no other...

I would like to highlight one point about medicals which I wish I had known when I went for my medicals. If you currently live outside Canada and get your passport stamped after you receive your PPR, the expiry date on the visa will be the date your medicals expire. So, if you have taken your...
