Hi everyone,
I've finally landed yesterday at Vancouver airport!
I guess I'm lucky that there were no queues at all: not a single immigrant in the hall for new immigrants, just the officers.
My flight arrived at 2:40pm and I've left the airport building at 3:50pm. I think the longest procedure was to wait for my luggage

The first officer I've met asked only if I have been to any Ebola-affected countries recently or had contact with Ebola patients. The officer at the new immigrants section asked the formal questions about my marital status, my height, if I had any criminal convictions, if I have any dependants and if I've ever been to Canada before. He also prepared a currency declaration form and stamped my B4 forms that list the goods I'm bringing. He actually was surprised to see that I had the B4 forms ready
Another person there gave me a book and some booklets for new immigrants, asked for my email to send some additional links and explained the further steps I need to take.
Overall, it was a nice experience.

One more thing: after I've got my visa and before the landing, I had a possibly material change to my medical status. Nothing really serious, but it requires additional medical attention in future. Just 1 week before the landing I've learned that according to the law, immigrants have to notify CIC if this happens before landing, even though visa office does not warn about it. It's probably kind of a gray area, but it can be grounds for misrepresentation charges if CIC is not notified before landing, and I didn't want to risk.
Officers in Kyiv office were really kind and helpful to arrange their communication with a medical office in time, to clarify if I have to cancel my trip and do further investigations or if I can land. In my case it turned out to be a minor thing and they told me I can land

This probably concludes my status updates,
I wish good luck to you all!

Congrats on your landing, mate! Your immigration finally started, good luck to you! And thank you for your wonderful spreadsheet!

What do you mean by "possibly material change in medical status" — that is, you've got some ilness?

Dear friends,
I have applied for 2 application under two different NOC categories.
For first application status - I am waiting for PPR
For second application status - CC charged on Dec 9th.
I was expecting same UCI number but different application number for my second application.
To day I found in ECAS that, my second application statred showing that - They received my application on XXXXXXX under same UCI
But, when I try ECAS with my first application number, it is still showing my my both applications 'Inprocess" status.
I am confused, Do I have Same Application number and Same UCI number for both the applications?

Now my questions to experties are:

Is it common for all applicants whoever applied under two categories?
Do we staill have same UCI and Application number for all applications we applied?

Please share your experience / openion.

My best advice is to contact your local VO and explain them the same you are writing in this forum. They should know how to proceed. As far as I am concerned the VO must have withdraw one of the apps, don't know why they didn't.

Thank you!
No, just a recommendation, based on my old medical records, to have yearly cardiologist / echocardiogram examinations, purely as a preventive measure (in fact, I don't even think anything would happen if I don't do them). Not an issue by itself, but this potentially incurs future costs on the healthcare - that's why I believe I did right by notifying CIC.
Once you land, new doctor recommendations/illnesses are not CIC's concern, but I was "lucky" to get the recommendation right in between the medical exam and my landing

+1 for you for updating us. Good luck to your new life in Canada!

Sorry I am too curious. Has there been anyone who received NER after seeing status "in process" on ecas?

Haven't read any reports yet. It is very rare. I know that there were people who received NER after CC charge.

Do you mean, like, refusal from the VO? Wow, I'm curious about that myself. It's been 51 days for me after PER and without medicals — not that I'm in a hurry, in fact I'd rather they wait until after the holidays, but it's just that almost everybody else I know at our VO received their meds faster so I'm a bit worried if anything could have gone wrong with my app.

 

[Geotherm]

I mean I have not received per but since I have UCI I can see the "in process" so this is why I was wondering if it's possible to receive ner at this point though I am highly optimistic.

Congrats for accomplishing your dreams!
In 2015 we will start reading more and more stories like yours of people that are landing in Canada after being granted a Visa.
+1 for your amazing news.

It is possible but it is rare once you get first line in ECAS. Just wait for your PER in the coming days.

[size=20pt]GUYS!! I need you help here...


My friend´s Application was returned to her by mail...the reason was; The officer was not satisfied of her Employment Letters from Australia. Now were planning to send all the revised Reference Letters to CIO before the 31st of december.. The question is.. Can we fly to Nova Scotia and drop the Application Personally? so that we can get the documents there in time..We are currently working in Canada BTW..


Thanks Guys..
