CPP-Ottawa

[computergeek]

hi all,

Our case was of ADR and we won ADR hearing last month on 4th Jun and we received letter in 2 weeks time that our appeal has been accepted and they gonna process the file again. 3 days back we got letter that our file gonna be processed in CPP-Ottawa. They have asked to submit the few form. 0008,5669 & 5406 and medical and PCC. So any idea what happens next and how long will it take to get visa.

Rgds,
Sagar

Congratulations on winning your appeal.

Having CPP-O handle successful appeals is actually normal these days (though they can send it back to the other office) because usually most of the field work has been previously done. Note, however, that they reset their processing time clock when the case is reopened after a successful appeal, so you should be prepared for the new process to take up to the published time (12 months for CPP-O last I looked).

Ok, so I was told that once they mail out CoPR, my hubby's address should change to mine. According to the email I got from CIC Enquiries that says this:

Our records confirm that officers at the Case Processing Pilot office in Ottawa have recently concluded this application. A Confirmation of Permanent Residence document / Permanent Resident Visa was issued on June 28, 2013. Mr. Xxxxxx will receive notification of this decision in writing, if he has not already received such.

His COPR has been mailed out...;at least that's what we think it says?) but ECAS addy still says US address. Should we be concerned?


Also, for those who have landed already, and who did so with a Uhaul/moving van, did you have to go into the truck lane? Odd you stay with the regular car traffic?

A LANDING CAN'T BE EASIER THAN THIS.

1) Arrived at Rainbow bridge on foot. Sponsor and applicant together .
2) Went to the Canadian Customs.
3) Asked them about "flagpole" landing.
4) They told me to go to the US side get a "refusal" letter.
5) Put 50 cent on the Canadian side to go through the door and walk towards the US side.
6) Arrived at the US side , told them we were we there.
7) Asked me If i was ever refused Visa to US ?
8) I said "YES".
9) In 10 minutes printed out a "refusal " letter.
10) Walked towards the Canadian side.
11) Meet Canadian Customs.
12) Asked me if I am importing anything or will import anything in future.
13) Officer kind of knew what we were there for .
14) Gave us a yellow form saying " 1 x Landing". Asked us to go to the building across.
15) Went to the opposite side of the road.(Immigration building I guess)
16) Handed the documents.
17) Officer told me "you read the whole document, everything alright?
18) I said "yes". Asked me to have a seat .
19) Called in 10 min. Signed the document(COPR)
20) Done .Landing paper stapled to the passport.

On both the US and Canadian side "super cool" officers. Friendly and professional. Whole process done in 30 minutes.

Thanks
Arindam

Hello,
My Husband ecas was updated to "Decision Made"

We started processing his application on July 3, 2013.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on (my husband) application. The office will contact (my husband) concerning this decision.

This is good right?? interviewed was waived.. so I don't think it could be denied..
OK so if this is good then COPR comes next?

Thanks

Our first application was filed on 27 march 2012 in Mississauga and i got interview on 10th Oct in delhi. So it was just above 6 months. Here is it so that it will take 12 months? Also the appeal is accepted so they dont have to investigate abour our relationship so that should save time.
Really 1 year more is too much time..

Leaving for Montreal in the morning with a U-Haul full of our stuff. Wish me luck!

(I can't believe how exhausted I am, and I still have so much to do!)

Brought a U-Haul of stuff to Montreal yesterday. There was a huge line at the border, and the guy at passport control had lots of questions about where my wife and kids are living if I have a U-Haul full of stuff, where they are now, etc. He wasn't a dick about it, but he also didn't seem to listen much to the answers. He sent me to customs - basically the same as for PRs because technically, having always lived outside of Canada, I'm not a returning Canadian, I'm a settler. In the end, it's duty-free so it doesn't matter what they call me. I had the B4s ready, got them stamped and went on my merry way. It was pretty painless. I'm heading back to the US after a couple of days of getting our apartment set up and (hopefully) getting the kids signed up for school, and other miscellaneous bureaucratic stuff...

Glad to see so many people posting good news. Fingers crossed we'll hear good news soon too...

Hi everyone,

My husband landed on April 14th and received his Permanent residency card in the mail in June. Does he still have to keep the paper (Confirmation of Permament Residency) that was stapled to his passport? We would keep it anyway but I'm just wondering if he has to keep it staped in his pasport forever or can we remove it from the passport now that he has received his Permanent residency card in the mail?

tks for your help.

He will need it in the future (for citizenship application, for example) but it does not need to remain in his passport. The PR card is better evidence of status than the COPR.

computergeek is correct, he will need this if he applies for citizenship. Keep it in a safe place since getting a replacement copy is a pain. I almost had to do this when I applied for citizenship since I could not initially find it. Fortunately I found it in some old folder of miscellaneous papers. whew!

Ok. Great. Thanks. It is just that it is a bit fat in the passport Thank you.

 

[ALLY06]

What did you put as your mailing address? That's where the COPR is going to go to. If you get the COPR in the US, just tell them you are landing! Then you can just land that way

Once you land(and only after you land!), go to Service Canada and get your SIN. Timeline? 20 minutes

Thats awesome to hear. I believe I did put my US address as (my) mailing address...that way I can land coming back into Canada! Thanks for the reply ;D

I did feel like someone should be granting me a few hundred acres of pristine land...
