So, with all this talk about couriers... ups or fedex? Ups seems to be a little more confident in their services. (in terms of committing to service dates)

my husband has used both UPS and Fedex to send different documents to Mexico. He preferred UPS.

Send them an urgent message and say that the photos were received by whoever on what date.
They did similar things like that to us, saying they didn't receive it.
Well we sent then an email as you told me, and we resend everything
This time with ups, the package was received today, so we are in the
Wait again, hopefully we got it soon and good luck
To everyone in here.

My wife landed Aug. 2nd and everything went smoothly. The process took less than 10 minutes. I wasn't allowed to go with her into immigration. They asked her a few questions and that was it. We didn't have to show any lists of what we brought or were planning to bring at a later date.

The immigration officer told her that she would receive her PR card within 6 weeks. My question is how long has anyone that completed the process actually had to wait for their PR card. I checked online and some people actually waited almost 3 months, some a little more and some a little less.
Anyone have experience with this timeline? Thanks.

congrats!!!
I know some people are waiting months for the PR card.. and having to redo photos as well.
My husband received his card on Monday, and he landed on June 16... so 7 and a half weeks!

Interesting, I was allowed to go into immigration. I was her interpreter for the question from the immigration officer.
I thought the officer said 2 to 3 months but I could be wrong.

Being using the Confirmation of PR paper for many things.
Bank account, credit card, YMCA Immigration Services (english classes), SIN card
Maybe get Ontario Photo card
Waiting for bank statement to apply for OHIP.
I haven't got insurance for my wife yet. Not sure what to get for a stop gap of 3 months until OHIP kicks in

Please learn english before coming. It will make your life easier.

This may have been answered or discussed before. Received the Decision Made.. yahoo! (June 2015 outland)
We now need to send the passports from Santiago to the Embassy in Mexico.
We were going to use the FEDEX in Santiago at:

Plaza Comercial J & K
Jardines Metropolitanos
Av Padre Ramón Dubert 15,
Santiago de Los Caballeros 51000,
Santiago,
Dominican Republic

Anyone else use this FEDEX and was it a problem having FEDEX be the return Courier ( prepaid). I plan to use this FEDEX office as the address for the package to be returned to from Mexico Canada Embassy?
What is the delivery time usually?
Any more or other advice ?"
Any idea what a turnaround time might now be within the Embassy?
Any advice?
thanks all
