Hey everyone just thought I'd post my experience and timeline for all those people stuck in the waiting game! I applied outland through the Buffalo office and sent my application in February 2011. CIC did not start processing my application until early April 2011. I got confirmation of my...

Thanks for the quick response. The border is 8 hours away so I think we are just going to drive down and cross it and come right back. I've waited a year for this document to come, no way I am waiting 3 to 6 more weeks to get an appointment to land! I'm taking care of this, this week! ;D

Hey all, my journey is almost over! 8) Today I received my COPR in the mail after a month waiting for it to come back to me! I have a couple of questions for those of you who have already landed as Permanent Residents. 1. I called to set up an appointment with the number provided and the...

Thanks guys, you rock!

First off: I got my passport request email!!!!! :P I am almost at the end of this hellish waiting game and could not be happier. However, I do have a couple of questions: 1. It says in the e-mail that I can send in my passport or scans of all my passport pages. Whats the catch with this...

I got my medicals done in Dallas, TX for around 175$ US. That was after I called around to all the clinics offering it and found the best deal. Some wanted 300$ for it!

It was sent on January 6, 2012. When I went and checked my spam folder it had deleted all messages before January 7, 2012. Hopefully Buffalo can resend the e-mail. I don't think its fair that they have us wait for months and months at a time with zero contact then expect us to pick up a VERY...

I was wondering the same thing. I had originally e-mailed asking because I hadn't received a letter in the mail in the 2 weeks since my decision was made. When I asked what address they'd be sending the letter to(my wife's or mine) they responded saying they sent me an e-mail. Is this not...

Hey everyone, Buffalo e-mailed me back saying that they sent a PPR letter in an e-mail on January 6, 2012 to my correct e-mail address. Problem is - I never got an e-mail from them. I e-mailed them back asking them to resend it but was wondering if I can go ahead and submit my passport...

That was my thread Here's the link to what people wrote back to me with: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/passport-requests-t90145.0.html;msg1148317#msg1148317

I am from the USA, but my application has not been approved yet. A decision has been made in my case though so I am just waiting for the letter to come in the mail. ;D

I did not write my name and DOB on the back of my photos that I sent in with my application. Why would you need to do that when they have all of that information on the sheets they are sticking the photographs on?

I did this! I sent in my application and went to visit Canada. I did not have my wife with me, but I brought my receipts and a copy of my marriage certificate to customs. They stamped me in for 6 months. Then I applied for a visitor extension for 75$ and got a year extension on my status. I...

Make sure you are logging in with your sponsor's information. It took me a while to figure out that I had to log in with all my wife's information instead of mine because she was the one sponsoring me to Canada. Identification Type: Client ID# Identification Number: ******** Surname/Family...

I was in a similar situation. I went to Canada(from the US) to visit my wife on February 3, 2011. I got stamped for a 6 month visit. At around four and a half months into my visit I applied for a visitor extension. I sent in copies of my receipts for payments I made to my permanent...

Absolutely right, I simply forgot to put that line in there. I do always tell everyone I am visiting for official purposes. Thank you for catching my mistake

Excellent, thank you very much

I got married to my wife while visiting Nova Scotia. Then went back to the USA and started the application process. We waited a month after the engagement to get married. I'm not sure if Quebec is any different, but it sounds like you are trying to do the same thing as me just in a different...

You're always better off applying outland for Permanent Residency. The process goes much faster than if you apply inland. I applied outland and then proceeded to visit my wife in Canada and live with my her for the past year while my application was being processed. We actually sent it to...
