Thanks Art for your wishes!

Yes, you r right abt my loooooooong wait for PPR. But, this was perhaps because our Meds were done in three different continents (Asia, Europe and N America) albeit almost simultaneously. The synchronization took that extra time, I assume! But still no regrets, however! Believe whatever happens, happens for Good as per God's designs!

Best Wishes,

News Release — An Immigration Plan that works for Canada: More immigrants who are already working in Canada to be admitted through Canadian Experience Class

Ottawa, October 31, 2012 — The Government of Canada will maintain record levels of immigration to support economic growth in 2013, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

"“Our Government's number one priority remains economic and job growth,”" said Minister Kenney. "“Newcomers bring their skills and talents, contribute to our economy and help renew our workforce so that Canada remains competitive on the world stage.”"

According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)'s 2012 Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration tabled today, CIC plans to admit a total of 240,000 to 265,000 new permanent residents in 2013, for the seventh straight year. This represents the highest sustained level of immigration in Canadian history.

In particular, the 2013 Immigration Levels Plan makes room for the rapid growth in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The CEC, which was created in 2008, facilitates the transition from temporary to permanent residence for those with high-skilled work experience in Canada, including international students and temporary foreign workers. Admissions under the CEC have increased from about 2,500 people in 2009 to more than 6,000 in 2011, with more expected this year than ever before. In 2013, CIC intends to accept a record high of up to 10,000 permanent residents through this popular program.

"“Immigration plays a vital role in our country's long-term prosperity,”" said Minister Kenney. "“Our 2013 Immigration Plan will build on our economic success by bringing in more of the world's top talent who already have a successful track record in Canada.”"

Every year, CIC consults with provinces, territories and public stakeholders across Canada to develop a balanced immigration plan. Besides stakeholder consultations, the Canadian public is invited to participate through online consultations on immigration levels and mix. This year, for the first time in Canadian history, CIC consulted with key Aboriginal groups.

CIC's 2013 planned admission ranges for other immigration programs will be released in the coming days.

P.S. : 1) Is my daughter's Canadian Study Visa (a loose document attached to the Original PP) mandatory to be sent along with the PPs to LVO? ???

2) In the children's Passports, the surname is an extension of the Given Names. The surname field has been kept blank. (Actually, the Schools here insisted this format, that time). The Updated Information Chart P152E by CHC now require segregation of names (but as in Passport):-X

Can you tell me which format should prevail in the forms? :-\

1. Not required.
2. It should be exactly as in the pps. Eg.:

PPS STATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPLIT IT AS
a) Hilary Rodham Clinton (in one line, either in Given Name or Surname) .......................................... GIVEN NAME: Hilary, LAST NAME: Rodham Clinton
b) Hilary (in Given Name), Clinton (in Surname) ............................................................................ GIVEN NAME: Hilary, LAST NAME: Clinton

Note: It doesn't matter whether the pps have "Bestpal" in the surname or "Clinton"... u should split it as it says in the pps.
