Yes I'm definitely very unique hence my name!
No, I do not reside in Canada, I'm in the US.
I actually went in person to Buffalo this past Tuesday and got the visa stamped. I just did not want to mail my passport and go crazy waiting for it in the mail.
Excellent. Good luck landing in Canada. Just add 'eh' at the end of every sentence, you will do just fine.

winnipegmb, don't worry. because you did the medical check in Sept, it will be considered as time frame as well.

I just wonder why PPR is communicated thru e-mail? if we can't get that e-mail, how can we proceed it . there is no letter.

You're in a much better than spot than most. Consider this; I got an AOR two days after you and I still don't have any PPR (probably not for another month given my bring forward date).

That is right, super. Mind you, we folks (in Canada) have the advantage in Landing - drive out, pee and drive in... But yes, nature does not favor us in physically going to USA, getting visa stamped. I pray your PP gets to Pigeons for delivery today.

Congratulations. Didn't I say that. LOL.

I would say Wednesday maximum but Tuesday most probably and Monday chances are VERY slim. Really it all depends on the flights - for example: I dropped my parcel at 4 pm on Wednesday and one flight took it all the way to Stoney Creek, twon next to Fort Erie and it was delivered FRiday early morning.

Tuesday is my best guess.

hehe. Tell him to take it easy. We have already booked a rental car for April 15 to do the landing (We do have a nice and clean car but since the drive is 6 hours, a change will be good)...

Monday is too early and rush is never good. Good luck.

Can you tell us your experience once you do yours. Thanks.

yes sure. He will be back to our home country few months later, so he will bring some stuffs back to here, which we will declare those thiings will arrive later. He does not have to pay the duty if he enters to Canada again... so I prefer to list as many as possible , even you finally don't ship them or bring them, at least you declare so you can take advanatage of the duty -free for the 1st time immigrants. ( no value limited, I called the border of service and asked already)

Good for you, Super. That was exact 15 days. Let us know when you get it. Arrange all the papers for the last step and then celebrate. Congratulations again. I am sure you cannot wait for Tuesday...
