Friends,

After 11,5 months of application reaching Buffalo, 14,5 months after application reaching PNP office, 6 years 8 months in Canada, today I'm officially a PR

The process was smooth as I decided to land in Canada. I arrived at the CIC office at noon after sneaking out from work. They were on lunch break as well. There was only me and another couple that were having an interview for their family sponsorship application. They were really nervous and bought ALOT of paper work (like 3 binders worth). I brought some paper work as well just in case

When they called my name, the IO asked me to check to make sure the CORP has the correct spelling of my name, DOB, place of birth etc. etc.

She asked me to initialize the following fields:

1. Are you single? Said yes, she said are you sure? no common law partner? I don't have a common law partner because we don't live together and she's Canadian anyways, so it doesn't matter. She said OK then

2. Do you have any dependents? No

3. Have you been denied entry to Canada? No

4. Have you been convicted for any crime? No

5. Do you still work at <current work place>? Yes, I have a letter from employer, it's OK don't need it

6. Do you still live at the address provided to CIC- yes -OK your card will be sent there

Then she saw the photo and said it's too big and told me to go get another set just across the street. Said OK let me call my boss and take an extra hour for lunch. Got the photos back in and then she told me to sign the COPR, congrats you're now PR

She explained the responsibilities of PR, days in Canada etc. and that's IT!!!!!!!!!!

Walked to Service Canada and got my SIN renewed, went back to work super happy and will quit in a month

Tip: Send complete application when you can
Bring extra photos in case yours don't work

Thank you very much everyone for providing great insights and advices and your timelines! It has been very much helpful for the forum

I will still come back from time to time to hopefully help people are still in the process

Congratulations my friend. You may now explode with happiness (Vbomb).
Check your ECas.

Positive. Transfer to LA means no IA from Buffalo and other consulates are generally faster. Depending on your situation, you might get a PPR within a couple of weeks. See trackitt.com for cases similar to yours.

same as mine. medical's done jan 2011 but until now no ppr request yet, my file was transferred to LA March 31, 2011.

Hey,
I landed at North Portal, SK on April 5, 2011 and we rented a car from Budget. I have my own car but just wanted a change. No one is going to ask you anything about the car - your husband can take his car or rent or borrow- just make sure its registered and of course have insurance (just in case). Another thing - tell him to check the roads - Estevan and Weyburn has been flooded with Spring run-off. there might be some roads closed due to the flooding. Good luck. People are good and you will be fine. Read my posts for our experience.
