Your DMP should have provided you with a tracking number. Ask them for one, if they cant provide then just pray

For those who have received their passports back, how long does the courier take? Pls indicate your locations specially the ones from Calgary/alberta
As far as I know, the Seattle VO no longer uses couriers to send back the passports.

Readytofly is right. As of June 1st I think it was VO's are no longer able to use couriers to return passports. They will only use regular mail with no tracking available and the letter someone posted on this forum previously states they accept no responsibility for lost items etc etc. Bit scary considering it's a passport but that's the way it is unfortuantely :( I believe you can still send your passport to the VO by any means you want i.e. courier, it will just be returned by regular mail so expect it to take weeks or a month to return rather than days :)

We are in US and thank God our status doesn't expire soon, otherwise I don't know what we would have done, but still I don't understand why is taking so much if the documents on file have been already checked, there is no criminal record, and the medicals are ok....

Hi all,

My WP will expire by the end of Sep 2012. Does anyone know if I can change my status in the US to B2 (Visitor) or get a visitor visa to Canada from here. Please advise and let me know the procedure if so

Thank you

Hello everyone! God is good all the time!

I just want to let everyone know, as of today, we are officially permanent residents of Canada. It has been a very long journey. Blood, sweat & tears all paid off. We got our visas stamped on 21 June & received everything back yesterday & we did our landing today (coutts,AB / sweetgrass border). By the way, for those single applicants, if you guys are contemplating on getting married, PLS DON'T HESITATE to do so, I got married while my PR is in process stage then I added my spouse to my file then after a month we received her MR. I received my MR a month before her & we did our meds together (advance meds on her case) then after 2 months we received PPR. So, IMO, its better to add her asap than sponsoring her as a spouse. Anyways, I sincerely thank everyone on this forum & thread/s. I wish all of you guys all the best & hope to have your PRs done soon. Don't forget to pray & everything will be okay! God bless us all

well everything was straight forward. we went to the US port of entry. US officer asked us where will we go & told them what the purpose was. she took our passports, asked us to park & come inside the US imm bldg. inside the bldg we waited for quite a bit & an officer gave us a form saying, we weren't admissible to the US. The officer told us to show the form to the CANADIANS & he gave our passports back. We then did a u-turn going back to CANADA with a US officer assisting us where to do it. Right in front of us after we turned is the CANADIAN PORT OF ENTRY (obviously). We told the CANADIAN imm officer what our purpose was, collected our passports, gave it back to us with a YELLOW form to be brought inside the CANADIAN imm bldg. Inside, we were the only ones to go through the immigration section. An officer asked us what were we there for & told them about us doing the landing. He asked for our passports, COPR & work permits. He asked to confirm & sign parts of the COPR & he didn't return our work permits coz we won't need them after all. Then we were done. He just congratulated us, we said thank you & drove back home.


XD I LOVE CANADA

Any PPR/good news anyone? Seems to be at a standstill right now.

Congrats flipn0ob. I can't believe your passport return took 6 weeks. Scary to be without it for that long!
