Thanks Asbereth and mkrp :). I am glad this struggle is finally over for me :D . After Asbereth's experience, I was mentally prepared for worst..lol. You did a very thoughtful thing by sharing your experience Asbereth.I thing the good experiences can be skipped by the bad must definitely be shared because they give you a heads up at least. If I wasn't expecting a jerk, I would have been very very upset with the opening statement of the officer who helped me.....He would have completely spoiled my mood and ruined my experience..lol...Anyways, it doesn't bother me and now it doesn't matter as well.

I just shared it, so that other people are not taken aback if they come across a rude officer. Imagine you just got passports and documents back after visa issuance and you go for landing procedure, all happy and full of smiles thinking that you almost already have your PR (actually you almost do) and then you have to deal with this jerk of an officer, who makes you feels that as of now you are a nothing and you may still be denied the permanent residency. And when after half and hour or so he actually tells you that you are finally a permanent resident, you will be so angry /upset / worried, that you may actually not even enjoy that moment..lol...

Thanks Guys for all you help, once again.

Thanks a_nashed :)

This reference letter was successful.

The leading statement for RA/TA is Post-secondary teaching and research assistants assist university professors, community college and CEGEP teachers and other faculty members in teaching and research activities at universities and colleges.


You can get your TA reference letter from the you department easily, make sure they write all the duties that you are assisting in.

Good Luck!

I ordered mine on the 23rd of May and after 37 days of waiting and a couple of email reminders I get this reply that absolutely makes no sense to me whatsoever !!

Good morning,

that is weird :mad:...do you have that confirmation e-mail they send after you submit the request ?...it has a reference number on it that you can site....maybe email them that number as well...but then if you are applying again for it, you can very well do it under the privacy act and get it for free... ;D ;D

JVJ, congratulations :D !!! I think I must have read it from some manuals that it is the duty of these officers to welcome new PRs to Canada, and congratulate them. I wonder why some are so hesitant in doing their jobs (I did not get congratulated either, she just read me my rights and responsibilities at the end). But anyway, nothing can take it away now, and again congratulations :)
I didn't get congratulated either.

I did apply under the privacy act before and had an automated email sent to me with the temporary tracking number. I guess its a system/server malfunction. Lets see what happens on my re-application !

Is the information on CAIPS closer to the date of request? Although it takes around a month to get CAIPS, from my file I could see that the
request date was 10 April and generated date was 12 April, but the file reached me on 10 May. I have recently submitted additional documents, think I should wait for a month before I order CAIPS to know what action they have taken on my file.
