I'm in Whistler so just up the road a bit :) Not 100% sure yet but i think we will go on a little vacation to US/Mexico then land when we fly back in. I did consider doing landing at Vancouver office but it all depends on how long it would take as i've heard a month or so (my visa is fine until Nov but my bf is on a tourist visa). We don't have a car and I was just worried if i did the bus to Seattle then they may not wait for us and we get stuck at the border til the next bus etc. Plus I could do with a vacation :)

You mean your PR visa until Novermber? That means only 4 months time to land.

No sorry I mean my current work visa expires in Nov. I think my PR visa is valid until April or May 2013. My PPR email had 2 different dates so I'm not entirely sure haha. Good old copy & paste by VO :)

Hi fellows,

I just got my passport back from Seattle. The whole process took only 25 days given that I am in Canada and they sent it by standard post.
Hope all of you hear a good news soon.

Congratulations, Eco. you said only take 25 days to get back your passport? Does it calculate from the day your passport reach Seattle office to the day of 08aug yesterday.

Mine sent on 02Aug , arrived 07AUG, and I sent an email to inform them my wife's pregnant, so I think my case would be some delay. : (

Good luck, buddy. :D

Thanks Wendy, I sent it on 12th and it reached there on 16th, I guess. I am in Alberta.
I got a letter explaining what to do and the Confirmation of Permanent Residence. I am sure you will get yours soon.
good luck with that.

Thanks loveson, 25 days is from the day I sent them to the day I received the passport. Yours is gonna take a bit longer, I guess, since you will have an angel soon. So I hope you will get your passports back by mid september, most.
Good luck, buddy
