I landed today ;D felt so unreal now! first was an hour of PowerPoint presentation about PR rights and so on, we were like 20 couples, then we all went to a different room and wait for turn, I was anxious because I didn't have the letter interview and my spouse still have our old address, so we brought a bunch of proof , but they didn't even ask him anything lol. Anyway the officer was a really nice guy, that was fast he just asked me the three questions that everybody got ask and he said congratulations now you are permanent resident , I guess he saw in my face disbelieve hahaha I mean was so fast that I was confused, he just smiled and said that's it.

Anyway I have a question, when I got home and checked my COPR , they wrote the same date on last entry in canada and original entry, but my original entry was a year before the last entry, we remembered the officer saying something about pension , is this going to affect me in the future? Or if anybody experienced an error before ? And how can I get it right?

Btw I want to thank everybody here , this forum helped me a lot and good luck to all of you. Please if somebody can help me one more time with my question, would be awesome, thanks

Thanks guys. I just checked my email....after we checked Dales email and saw the AIP. And I had an email too. I have to re do the medical. Oh.....here we go again. I was so nervous the last time I went for the medical.....and now I have to go through it again. :'( Couldn't we just have gotten a few days to be NOT worried and just be happy Well...you might think, I shouldn't be worried, since I passed the first time. But it's my biggest fear. Im thinking....Im middle aged.....gained some wait since the last time.....so I'm just so scared not to pass for some reason. Oh I so do NOT want to go through it again But I have the bestest hubby.....he knows how scared I am.....so we will start at a gym tomorrow and eating healthy, so I get to feel more confident about this.

Was the medical as scary for you guys, as it was and is for me?

DaleandMonica...CONGRATS! You've been waiting even longer (MONTHS longer!) than me, and I'm so happy you finally heard something!

As for the medical (*firm but kind smack to your face*) NO! Not scary. Unless you got tuberculosis between now and then, you should be fine. Your physical fitness or any non-communicable diseases are not a concern for spousal sponsorships. It's just a "check in the box," dear. And one more check in the box that brings you closer to completing this seemingly interminable process. Congrats, and do enjoy getting your AIP! The medical is no sweat, just a pain in the behind and one more expense.

Congrats Karito! Same thing happened with me she put my last entry date (2 weeks vacation in the US) as my original entry date which is incorrect so I had to do this:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5218ETOC.asp

Maybe its important when applying for citizenship in the future or just to be sure. It has no processing fee.

FINALLY !!! MY Wife got the DM Letter today in her email!

Exactly 9 months after AIP....

I hope the landing interview is soon. We are landing in Yellowknife so that office shouldn't be too busy. Hope they still have an Immigration Officer here. I know they still have an office but last time we we checked the Officer was overseas.

hello,
have not been here for a while....
after reading most of posts, I have couple of questions..
So after sending out the application forms and got an email from CIC that received application on 10/24/2012 and start processing on 12/19/2012. I have not heard from CIC for a long time, not even AIP at all... I am wondering if this is weird to wait soooo long?
or is bc I do tend to fly back to NY almost every 1or 2 months.. ( my husband is Canadian and I am an American). I don't want to break any laws- such as staying over 6 months period.
thanks for your help ....

Oh Monica!! I am so happy for you that you got your AIP!!! *happy happy wiggle dance*

Do NOT worry about your medical my dear. Like QuebecOakie said, unless you contracted TB since your last one, this is ONLY to update your current one probably because they took so dang long to start looking at your stuff. Rather than stress about it, look at it this way. They ONLY want that medical because they are finalizing your paperwork my dear! Means they are ALREADY looking at your medical/police checks, they just need an updated medical and voila, you'll be PR before you even know what happened!

No worries girlfriend, you got this! A few pounds, BAH we have nothing better to do than cook and eat since they won't let us work! Now there is just a bit more of us for loving! So put on your happy smile and do NOT worry about a dang thing, it's ALL smooth sailing from here on out!

I wonder how many of us DO gain some weight or experience other declines in health throughout the PR application process? I know I've gained some weight. I tend to overeat and exercise less or not at all when I'm depressed, and I've fought through several periods of moderate depression in the year+ that I've been here. It's not *just* the PR thing (my husband is gone for long periods of time, and culture shock is an issue, as I am still not yet bilingual), but that's a big part of it.
