Congratulations Love Young! This is amazing feeling to get back to work and for me it felt even better than landing ;) And you got the job so fast, it's amazing. Wish you lot's of luck and hope you'll enjoy the job! Take care, O.

I am with you Magpie, feel for you! Being almost thru with CIC (just waiting for PR card to arrive, which apparently will take longer than promised 6 weeks) I still remember all the wait and frustration I went through. My impression of CIC has always been as un-accountable organization, which...

Ironboy, I didn't put names & dates of birth on the pictures either, just relation to sponsor and month when photo was taken. We've been sending pics covering over 4 year period and it's hard to remember exact date when one was tken unless it's printed on the photograph. Don't worry, it...

Pepe 261! Medicals are valid for one year and if expired CIC requests to redo those. That happened to my colleague, they've sent him a letter one week after his meds got expired.

Just had not so nice experience with BMO... I've been in Canada for over two years now on work permit and already have VISA with RBC & Master Card with do-not-remember-who-with. I applied for BMO Master Card being their customer for over a year so they've requested a collateral deposit as I do...

not all of it but a lot of stuff is true ;) some is really funny... thanks for the post!

As to medicals you better wait until they request to re-do them. I had the same thing and asked CIC what to do so they've advised me not to rush and wait. That's from my experience...

Here is my timeline, looks NICE, isn't it? ;) We received your application for permanent residence on September 30, 2010. We started processing your application on November 18, 2010. A decision has been made and you will be contacted. Medical results have been received. We sent you...

Hi all! I've landed yesterday afternoon in Halifax and now can call myself Permanent Resident! The process took approximately one hour and a half as first we had to wait for about 40 mins while they processed payments and then everybody (appr 40 people) were invited into a conference room...

Hi all! Just short update - I've been wondering either my sponsor has to go with me at the landing appointment at local CIC so I called them today to be on the safe side. They told me sponsor does not have to be there as it's not a requirement. Just wanted to let you all know, and I'm in...

Hi all! Question - my landing appointment is set for next Wednesday and it does not say anywhere in the letter that sponsor have to be there, too. Is that the case or we both have to be there at time of landing? Thanks to share your thoughts.

True Russian ;), I do not think they will process your application longer just because they gave her OWP for 2 years, unless they're going to request more info or something has expired. It would be better if she would have a job at the time you're going to travel and employer's letter with her...

Congratulations fleurette!!! It's a really good feeling to know that immigration saga is over ;D it gives you freedom! Feels like being out of detention ;)

Hi True Russian, I did travel being on WP, but is was not OWP, just regular WP and I did not have any issues re-entering. Latvia however is visa exempt country so may be that's the reason why I didn't have any issues, but still... What's the expiry date on your wife's OWP?

Congrats fleurette!!! Have a great weekend all!

Hi Tuggie, I was able to get ahold of them on Thu & Fri afternoon, just keep calling and eventually you'll get to the queu. Good luck!

Hi All! Just wanted to let you know that I've received 2 letters from CIC Vegreville last night dated Jul 22 confirming that both stages of my PR application have been approved. The one I got last week reg landing appointment came from local Halifax CIC office so apparently Vegreville advised...

Congrats LY!!! ;D Now you're 100% permanent resident! Enjoy the long weekend!
