hello, this is mi!
my boyfriend is finally a PR now!

appointment time at 10-11am today, we were there at 9:20am, there were about 20 people in one group with the officer. we had to wait for the next group. the office came back to us in about 10 mins, he checked off my boyfriend's name and our group had about 10 people.

he took us to the second floor and waited in line for the receptionist to check our files, pictures and of course payment. everything was done in 1 large conference room. there were 5 officers. the set up was temporary. we sat down for about 10 mins, another officer called us and took the payment. we bought a money order.

we sat down for another 20 mins, the lady officer called our names (both of our names). she asked for his passport, my driver license. after answering few questions, eg) do you have any questions about your landing, have you committed any criminal in canada, do you have any dependents inside or outside of canada, very general stuff. he answered all NO and signed the paper work.

she took my boyfriend's work permit back and stamped on his passport for landing, congratulated him becomes a PR.

the total process took 1 hour, we paid $1 for underground parking, thanks god it is saturday, it would cost us $10 if it is weekday.

there are few interesting thing, i recommend to take pictures from Costco, they take good picture, as the officer said his picture is nicely done. for inland spouse landing, you only need 1 picture. the form says two, because it is generic for all cases.

for our case, because of the renovation of edmonton local office, they don't take credit card and cash. we have to get money order or certified cheque. The appointment letter says credit card payment may be made by internet, however, the online system doesn't allow to send payment directly to local office. call center agent suggested may be sent to Ontario, but it will take local office few weeks to get the money. therefore, it is not recommended.

ok, my boyfriend is cooking lobster now :p, our celebration! he keeps asking me "how to cook this, how to make that", it is very distributing.... :mad:

i am trying to remember as much as i can ;)

yep, the lady next to us was in trouble, because her marriage status changed after her application, i think she is applied under working class. the officer said they can't change her status today and she would need to go through all the process AGAIN! (i was initially thinking i heard these wrong, but i confirmed with my boyfriend who heard the same thing) i am not sure what AGAIN means, maybe apply the interview again or so.

one important thing, it will take about 4-6 weeks to get the PR card. after that, he can get his new SIN number (he has a SIN card with first number is 9 which means for temporary residents, i believe it is no longer issued, he got it 10 years ago). it is not recommended to leave the country before PR card, because you will need to apply for the PR visa in the oversea embassy.

that is pretty much :p

Congratulations mi, what a wonderful story and thank you for sharing.
Enjoy a beautiful life together in Canada.

Anyway, could some of you help me? I can't remember how to fill out the FOSS note request form. ::)
Do I leave the "Requester's reference no." and "ATIP file number" blank?
I think I do but I want to make sure I am right.

Good Advice!

My hubby was in a huge car accident 3 weeks ago and had to go to the hospital. Because of the 3 month wait he has to wait another 4 weeks till he gets his health card. We are just waiting on the huge bill the hospital has coming to us.

The sooner you can apply for your health card the better. Don't wait because you never know when you going to need medical care.
im so terribly sorry to hear about your honeys accident :( is he ok? hugggssss to you! hope it gets better! problems come in threes right? keep your head up bb!

Yes you should leave both gaps blank.

Also make sure to tick FOSS(Information in Canada)option not the In Canada File(FOSS included) one. :)

So, today March 21, marks the 10 months mark since my application was received by CPC-V.

I called the call center last week, and according to the call agent "they haven't started working on my application since they are working on app. received on May 11". She wasn't able to see any remarks regarding my file. She also said that I should expect to hear back from them in Mid-late April. :'(

My e-CAS has stopped working! I had noticed it on thursday and I was reminded by the e-CAS tracker on saturday. I have no idea why it has happened. :S

Hoping to hear good news from you all this week! :)

Hey BB! so nice to hear from you. Yes luckily he is ok. They said he was lucky to come out of it with his life, he ended up with Sitches and some pretty nasty gashes. But he is all fixed up now. :) Things are looking better these days, hubby is working, got his OWP and just 1 week later he had a job. And many job offers :)

We are just hanging in there waiting to hear from CIC about medical for my step son, according to CIC there is no way to really get a update on what is going on in my husbands country's Visa office. So we gotta just wait it out.

We will be landing soon enough though. ;D


I'm suuper excited! Whats going on with you guys? I bet you are just can't wait for that letter in the mail saying you need to come for landing interview.

Hope to hear from you again soon
