My journey ends here... Collected my COPR and Passport from VFS yesterday... Check my timeline for details... I wish everyone all the best and may Allah bring the best news of your lives in this month of Ramadan.

Hats off to this forum...This forum is equal to 10000 consultants....

As I am planning my landing, I am a little confused whether I can land in Toronto instead of Edmonton which is written in COPR. I am a FSW not a provincial nomiation.

Congratulations wifiwifey! Truly the forum is of immense help. From previous posts, there seems to be no issue with landing in Toronto first. Just prepare to complete all landing formalities at your first point of entry and let the officer know you are on your way to Edmonton even if you will be chilling in Toronto just to avoid more questions. I also suggest you have your onward flight ticket to Edmonton available.
Have a pleasant trip and a great time in your new home :D

Thank you for your response!

But the point is I don't want to go to Edmonton anymore and wants to settle down in Toronto. In that case what shall I do?

Since you are FSW and not PNP, you should be free to settle in any city or province of your choice. You might just have an answer ready for your change of location in case anyone asks. Also check with another group to find out if anyone has done sth similar. All the best.

Congrats @WifiWifey for your Visa and COPR.

Why was edmonton mentioned in your COPR? Did you mention it at the time of your application?

Great news @owenaze,

Congrats for the PPR. Please share your timelines.

Am still a little confused as to when do we know which Visa Office has been assigned to us. I have no update since I submitted my AOR.

@sikkavarun. Thanks. My timeline is showing below ;). You can either call IRCC and ask or request for GCMS notes (preferred) to know which VO is working on your application. All the best.

Hi All,

Would someone be able to briefly share a start to finish process of applying under the PNP, FSW AINP etc. categories, just for me to understand how one gets qualified or is already qualified to apply. Would anybody be so kind enough as to explain how this process works? I know I could do all the detailed reading online but I am just looking for a brief summary.

I see all the applicants here applying for such categories but I never really understood it.
