Indeed! Application sent March 3rd, landed July 23rd!

Just wanted to say, we went to the border yesterday to do my wife's landing. Whole process took less than ten minutes, it was flawless. I couldn't have done all of this without huge help from the people here. It's a scary process even for straightforward cases, and I just wanted to thank...

Excellent. Thanks a ton.

We did not apply for an extension. At the time, we believed that it would be a short time before her COPR was granted (based on when we applied) and that she shouldn't need to leave the country between the work visa expiry and her COPR grant. This was probably stupid and a misunderstanding on...

Sorry, I wish I was clearer on this, but I'm asking just in case I misunderstand. A few days ago my spouse received her COPR and we're trying to arrange a landing. It seems like it will take 2 weeks to even make our appt here in Toronto so we're looking at driving to the border. This email was...

Just so I am super clear, based on the CIC website it's only a commercial carrier that requires a PR card, right? For example, I live in Toronto and say I need to travel to the USA with my wife (who was JUST granted PR, as a US citizen) Could I safely drive to Buffalo, fly entirely within the...

I'm sorry, I mean the certificate. The linked document said they could inter-office courier the COPR to a regional office for pickup, but I suppose only in cases where it's urgent. That is assuming "decision made" means we're getting a COPR

Seems to indicate they're just being held, unless they're Urgent. I don't see a definition of what classifies as Urgent, but we're in Toronto and it would be so easy for me to go pick up the card. Hmm.

Today under Permanent Resident Application Status, it says Decision Made. Which I assume is great. The Canada Post strike is happening Monday. To those who have received a COPR, did it show up Canada Post? Does anybody know of anything CIC might be doing differently to deal with the postal...

Okay, doing my own research I think I was too hasty. Since Inland applications use a different set of forms (for instance IMM 5285 for inland, and IMM 5490 for outland) as well as the country-specific form we put in, there should be no confusion that this is an outland application. Amazing how...

Silly question, but in another thread I read something about the person writing "Outland Application" on the outside of the envelope, for their PR package. I'm not sure at all that I did this. Is there a way for me to check with certainty that the application is being processed as an outland...

Thanks a ton Aquakitty, that's a huge load off my mind.

Hello, hoping someone can give me some info with this. I worry that I operated on some bad information and screwed everything up. My wife is here on a PGWP which expires July 5th, she lives with me in my apartment, we've been married for 3.5 years. We submitted an outland PR application at...

All of that sounds reasonable and I understand. The only part that I don't really comprehend is the circumstances by which she might not be allowed entry. I understand that it's not a guarantee, it's up to the customs official, but is it a significant risk? Are border agents in the habit of...

So based on these replies: If we apply Inland, the application will take an extremely long time and she cannot leave the country during this time or she may be refused re-entry, or have the PR application denied at that point. If we apply Outland, when her PGWP expires in July she will receive...

Thank you for the info! I had not researched outland applications. Regardless of outland or inland however, is my understanding that we apply for an extension to her work permit, and that allows her to leave and re-enter the country (say, for a vacation in the late summer) even though her PR...

Hello, I've looked at this forum a ton as a lurker and now that we're filing for permanent residency for my wife I'd like to get your knowledgeable eyes on things to make sure I understand it the way I think I do. Facts: We have been married for 3.5 years, married in Canada. She has been...
