Hi all,
so last Wednesday I had gotten a letter from the Oshawa, ON CIC office that I could now get me Certificate of PR from then. At the Oshawa office (which is unfortunately closing as of June 1st), there are no appointments, but that I could come any time Mon-Fri between 9AM and 3PM.
As the week before I had just brought my passport to be renewed, and the consulate had kept my old passport, I knew I would have to wait until I got my new passport in the mail.
Luckily, I had asked for the express passport, which was supposed to take 4 weeks. When I checked my mailbox today, I was sooo excited to see my new passport had already arrived. So I rushed to make it to the Oshawa CIC office before they closed.
I walked in, gave the super nice lady my passport(s), letter they had sent me, two photos, paid my $490, was asked to sit down, and was soon after called into an office with yet another super nice lady. She asked me to verify my information was all correct, just made sure I had no dependents, asked me to initial and sign a couple of times, and gave me my certificate
She said my PR card would come in 8 weeks. She then told me where the ServiceOntario office was, and so I went there, and applied for my OHIP card. As my AIP was April 13th, I will have OHIP as of July 13th.
My hubby will prob be home any minute now, and has no clue yet what all happened today!! I am excited, super excited, more than excited!!!
