Dear friends,
Thanks for all the wishes!!
I have one more question.. Maybe someone who has recently landed in Canada could best answer this query -
we (my wife and me) are both, at present, doing my research work (PhD) in Germany. Last week our visas were stamped with visa and the validity is until March 2015. Therefore, we are planning on visiting Canada to finish off the landing formalities and then return back to Germany to resume our PhD. We are planning on moving to Canada for good in about 2+ years so that we could stay for about 750+ days (before our PR needs renewal, etc.,) as per the rule.
Now with that background, my exact query is - how long (approx number of days) would we need to stay in Canada for finishing all the landing formalities (for eg: PR card, etc.,)? We would like to return back to Germany as soon as possible, of course. I had gotten to know earlier that we need to just apply for the PR card and even have it delivered to a friend/relative in Canada in our absence (since the processing duration for PR card is about 45 days or so). Is this a possibility?
Other suggestions are welcome and any links from CIC in this regard would be very much appreciated too!!
thanks again!
cheers!
