Inland Application 2011

[brookechung]

My timeline is as below:

They received my application on May 4, 2011
They started my application on May 16, 2011
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made and letter has been sent on March 20, 2012
I received the letter on March 23, 2012

********
The letter says my application has been completed. CIC in Montreal will contact me for my permanent resident status. However, I have to pay for the Right of Permanent Residence fee, $490, when I'm scheduled to obtain my confirmation of permenent residence document.

Does anyone know:
1) How long I will/might get the letter from CIC in Montreal about my scheduled appointment?
2) Will they issue me PR card on the sight? Or, if not, how long it takes them to issue me the PR card?
3) When I am allowed to leave the country?
4) Am I allowed to leave the country without PR card after having the appointment with CIC in Montreal?

Thanks Rayan but how do you know if you are granted a decision made ?
thanks again!

Call CIC after 3-4 days, or check your ecas main page, it will change to decision made, even if the details are still the same as before.

Hey our timeline is so alike.
1) I ve got the letter from CIC Montreal Today dated on March 23 2012. They did not schedule a date for landing yet; however, they sent me a form to verify my information, send payment for Residency Right Fee or whatever, and to re-send two PR pictures. they say after they receive these documents, they will schedule the landing interview. so I sent them all the information today. I believe it took exactly 9 days for them to contact me. very fast in my opinion.

2) According to CIC . Your PR should take about 35 Business days after the landing interview.

3/4) I got the same questions, and what I found out its that if your using a commercial flight to come back they will request you the PR Card to get on board, or a travel document which is adquired at the country your visiting and takes about 3-5 days. The Confirmation of PR that they gave you on the landing day wont not valid for travel by air. But, some people have been able to come back by crossing the canada/us border with that document . I have personally decided to wait until I got my card so I can book my vacations.

If you are from a country who does not require visa, I dont think you have to wait for PR Card but im not sure on that.


Good luck

I think you should wait for your landing interview on May 3rd and apply for the permanent SIN number at the same place, otherwise you will have to spend $150 for the temporary, and you will have to change it for the permanent one on May. Do you have a job offer right now?

You don't have to pay for a temp SIN # (or a permanent one for that fact) It's free - http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/about/reports/sin/applying.shtml

It's $150 for an OWP, of which the OP already has

Congratulations to everybody who got AIP, DM, OWP, DM again and PR CARD

By the way, if they want extra documents (new medicals, etc), where do they usually tell you? In the AIP letter, on the website (ecas), or both?

Generally they ask you to redo exams in the AIP letter. They don't call and don't post anything on e-cas. This happened in my case. I checked that also with the 2010 thread - they said the same thing.
