I got my PPR on 18th Nov but from 19th the ECAS is not logging me is says the system could not identify me. I however sent the passport feeling that the site might get fixed soon, but still the ECAS is not opening. They received by passport on 2nd Dec. Do you guys think i should reach out to them why i am not getting logged in or wait? Any thoughts or suggestions highly appreciated....

Landed today via driving across border from US; was extremely fast and easy. I was not required to show proof of funds or any supporting documents; just gave the CBSA officer my COPR document, gave her my new Canadian address, signed the document and that was it. She gave me the second copy back with both of our signatures for my own records until my PR card arrives in the mail (she said up to 12 weeks for it right now!). I still can't believe how simple the entire thing was, and fast (about 15 minutes total from arrival to finish). After I got my copy of the signed COPR she told me I'm now officially a permanent resident as of today.

I did this in the morning and then went and enrolled in the provincial healthcare, got my social insurance number (SIN) and opened up a bank account. Tomorrow is changing licence plates and driver's licence (which will be easy since it's an automatic/instant exchange if you already have a US licence; you don't need to take any tests). Despite waiting over 2.5 years for my PR, the entire thing today took 15 minutes to complete.

Good luck everyone. I won't be reviewing this forum/website anymore since it has served its purpose for me and I've now completed my immigration. Until of course I'm applying for citizenship 3 years from today, in which case you'll be able to find me over at the citizenship forum It's been a long 2.5 years of waiting on here since I originally applied and it is nice to be able to say goodbye.

Hello All,

I have a small query regarding my medical examinations. I have received my request for medicals about 10 days ago and now I am planning to book an appointment. Can I book an appointment in a different city from where I am staying right now? (I stay in Gurgaon, India but am planning to book an appointment in Hyd, India since I am going on a vacation for about 2 weeks to Hyderabad)

Thanks in advance
Sarat

It doesn't matter where it is done as long as it is done!

Provided the doctor is approved by CIC to do immigration medical exams, you will be fine. All the best.

Hi, Paul 2587,

May I know what documents did you prepare for crossing the border by land, using your own car? Did you show any papers to the immigration pertaining to your car and what insurance do you have, US insurance or you got another one from Canada? kindly let me know as we are also planning to cross the border bringing our car. thank you... Or anyone please enlighten me with this as Paul might be busy already. Thank you

You don't have to stop at any check point when exiting the US. You only stop at the Canadian immigration station on the way to Canada. Similarly, while exiting Canada and entering the US, you only stop at the US immigration check-point. Hope this helps.

No I didn't. Not after medicals were received. I'm trying to keep emails to a minimum.

If I were you, I would email them.

I got landing papers today and did landing already.

They received my photos on Dec 2, Decision made on Dec 6, CPR issued Dec 2, received landing papers on Dec 11, did landing on Dec 11. I did not have to send the passport (visa-exempt), so it took only 9 days (more that 2.5 years all together)

Landing was quick and easy, standard questions from papers, did not ask anything else.

Praise God!!! Thank you, Lord, for a great lesson of patience, humbleness and trust.

I wish good luck to everyone on the forum! I am pretty sure, that most (if not all) of Buffalo cases will be finished by the mid 2014, so stay strong and grow in faith.

Congrats Fella!

 

[Jayson]

is employment letter needed for landing??

YES! One must have it!

Thanks Jayson.
