Thank you all for your suggestions. Unfortunately there are few jobs being advertised. Everytime I saw a job advertised that I was qualified for (over and under) I have applied for it. I should have mentioned that I also hand delivered my resume all over the city (I took photos of the...

I don't know if anyone is still reading this post but I wanted to throw my story in. I am married to a Canadian and I am a Permanent Resident. I moved to Saint John, New Brunswick in February 2011. Since that time I have applied for over 40 positions and I have only received about 3 calls for...

Hello everyone, My son and I are flying up to see my husband for Christmas. We did not expect PR so quickly and the trip was already planned so we are not "landing" at this time. My flight arrives in Toronto at 3:25pm from Bermuda and departs for Halifax at 5:10pm - 1 hr 40 minutes. Is this...

Do they send a letter back with your passports telling you the date you have to land by?

Hi, Buffalo sent my pp back yesterday. I have been checking the USPS tracking number since they received my pp's and the number gave me nothing until I checked this morning. Just keep checking. As soon as it leaves Buffalo the information will appear on USPS.com. I actually didn't expect...

Hi Angel B, I sent our passports to Buffalo last week and they are on their way back to me now. My time is also almost up!

Okay, I sent my passports to Buffalo and they received them last Friday. I just checked the USPS tracking number from the envelope I included and the passports are on their way back to me already!

I just read your older post and I can't believe how long it takes for you and other inlanders to get PR. One would think they would want those already in Canada to start contributing to the economy (taxes ::)) and what about the welfare of the children?? Your case is so obviously genuine. I...

Hi! I did get PPR on Nov. 2nd. In total from the date I submitted my application on Aug.13 it took 2 1/2 months until PPR. Looking at other timelines I see now how very fortunate I am. I can't imagine having to wait as long as others. It seems a bit miraculous - and they didn't need my FBI...

Thanks! My mother-in-law always asks us to bring Bacardi with us and whenever we fly direct Bermuda to Halifax we can carry it on to the plane but when my husband flies via Toronto he always has to pick up his suitcase and put the Barcardi into his suitcase before it can go onto Saint John (he...

Met my husband in July 2006 Moved in together in 2008 Married March 2010 Have lived together in Bermuda from 2008.

Hello everyone, there may be a separate thread for this bit I thought a few of you would have an answer if you have been traveling back and forth to Canada. I am flying from Bermuda to Halifax next month via Toronto. I usually take the summer direct flight to Halifax and go through Customs...

This is the exact information StillSmilin and myself have been looking for. I am flying to Canada to spend Christmas but I am not ready to do the "landing process" as I still have to pack up all of our belongings and in order to have the customs duty waived on everything I own, I have to have a...

Hello, Well I finally received the AOR letter today (after I received the PPR email)! :D Funny thing is, the letter is dated October 21st but they postmark is November 2nd!! No wonder I hadn't received it until now. According to the letter, they were only waiting for my RPRF which I paid...

Hello, I sent my passports to Buffalo on Wednesday by Fedex and Buffalo received them Thursday. I am flying to Canada in December to spend Christmas with my family and do not plan on officially landing at that time (do I have to land at that time?). My question is when I do "land" will I be...

I am flying up to spend Christmas with my husband but I am also not ready to do the landing. I too would like to know if we can fly up with the visa in our passport without actually landing at the same time.

A big congratulations Angel B!!! So happy for you!!

Thanks! Apparently sending emails does not hurt your application although I never came right out and asked for exact information. As I never received the original letter I don't know why they returned the personal information but I would think that they returned it because they have finished...

After 3 emails to Buffalo and 3 responses telling me to allow sufficient time for delivery of an "information" letter they sent to me on October 21st, I sent a 4th email this morning asking them to please email me a copy of the letter as I hadn't received it and I was aware that they usually...

I am answering my own questions above! I sent Buffalo another email and they finally sent me a copy of my letter a fe minutes ago! Not actually AOR but PPR! Now I have another problem! They only gave me 30 days to send in our passports and 16 days have already passed from the date they...
