So guys,

Here comes at least one good news, I received my passport back yesterday(20131202) and did the landing today(20131203) at Thousand Islands Bridge near Kingston,ON. Everything went well, the officer didn't ask me for proof of fund or employment letter, she just asked me for my apartment address in Canada so that CIC can send the PR card to me. Then in the end she said you are permanent resident of Canada now and welcome to Canada with a big smile on her face (which was really nice ).

The PR visa was issued on 20131113 which was also the day they requested my passport. And Admin please update the tracker, thanks

My journey to PR of Canada ends here, I'm very much grateful to everyone on this forum for your invaluable comments, suggestions and helps. I pray to God that all of you who are still on your way to PR of Canada will hear good news from CIC in a very timely manner. Ameen.

In the end, please be patient, I know how it feels cuz I was rejected once before and I'm almost finishing my Ph.D. study and in the process of looking for job opportunities, and I was asked a couple of times by the prospective recruiters before if I was PR of Canada.

Anyways, those of you who need any help or advice may post in this forum or PM me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Stay positive, people.

Congrats. I am about to receive a job offer. HR already knows that I am not a PR. Asked me to provide a work permit. Problem: I cannot get a full-time work permit unless I defend my thesis.

This is so pity that we have to study hard, but even when we find a job, we have to struggle with rules, officers, system, etc. to convince the managers that "hey, don't worry pleaseeeee, I can get a full-time work permit once I defend my thesis".

Managers, HRs, do not like this, they are not aware of our situation. They prefer someone who has a PR or at least an open work permit in hand, which is completely understandable. It's all because of the rules!!!

It's the fact that we can simply miss good opportunities and offers only because of the rules!

Landing done today at Thousand Island bridge. Nothing required once you tell them that you are from PhD immigration stream.

It was a pleasant experience. Thanks for support and help.

I will keep trying asking the same question until I find someone who had the experience of adding a spouse to their application. Is there anyone who added a spouse while application has been in process? I have a hard time finding info about what we should do. Thanks a lot. This forum has been very helpful

All you need to do is to email them and explain that you want to add your spouse. That's what CIC says you should do. They'll let you know what documents you should send.

Try to PM Otacon, he added his wife after getting his medicals as I remember.

Good luck!
