Why don't you land after your vacation? Just enter Canada with your current visa and tell the border officer you want to land as a PR later because you booked a vacation

I received my COPR together with all of our pictures, greeting cards and payment receipts from our landlord
thank you for the answer! I just heard that my visas get cancelled once I receive my passport back from Ottawa so I was worried because COPR has expiration date, I`m waiting for my passport back now and our vacation is on the 13th of September for 2 weeks so we will be back end of September, copr may not be valid anymore..

We received SA today, 52 days after receipt of our application by CPC-M. We're very excited to see the faster processing times for Ottawa. Hope they can maintain the pace. Please update the spreadsheet. Thanks :)

i'm from the east coast, so i can't speak to anything related to vancouver. i am not sure if they have a kiosk to sign up for a SIN#. It needs to be done through the provincial service office, not CIC. It is not a part of landing, and CIC does not have the authority to give out SIN #s. Pearson airport in Toronto has a kiosk in one of the terminals to sign up with Service Ontario. Hopefully someone can tell you if Vancouver has a similiar set up. I will go out on a limb and say that land borders certainly won't have this option.

Status changed online from "we started processing" to "decision made" in like 6 days. Should we be worried or overjoyed? No e-mail or anything from them.

My spouse recently moved back to Canada with me as a visitor on dual-intent, but our address is still on record as being outside of Canada. I called in to change the address today and mine (the sponsor's) was changed, but I was told to contact the visa office to change the applicant's address. Fired off an e-mail today to the visa office. Anyone know if we need to contact Missassauga too? We're hoping that the address change fiasco doesn't muck up our application.

decision made generally means they mailed out the approval. Are you still able to receive mail where you were living? not sure if the new address would register in time to mail it to your new address. There's a good chance the approval papers are going to the old address. Mississauga won't be able to help you, you will have to contact the Ottawa visa office directly by email.

been in Canada since may 2013
I requested my notes 35 days ago and I haven't received them yet. im getting really frustrated 9.5 months so far, they've made no contact with me for any information, im so confused when I see people getting through in a few months.

is there a number I can call? I don't know what else to do. when is a reasonable time to talk to my MP?

You should have received an e-mail indicating they received your request if you submitted it online. Reply to that e-mail and ask where your ATIP notes are. In my experience they respond very quickly (as the response time is mandated by law).

unfortunately an mp is most likely not going to be willing to help until you are out of the posted processing time, which is posted as 15 months for ottawa.
