Yes thanks a lot Screech. Very happy and relieved to get the AIP. I already have Provincial health care and OWP ( because of my previous refugee claim that was denied )
I was really on my last legs. I already applied for PRRA in July 2013. Everyday used to be nerve racking when opening my mailbox lol because I dont know if its a letter from CIC or if its a letter from CBSA.
The CBSA officer told me that if I get my interview and approval before the PRRA result came in, then they will hand over the case to CIC. but if not then they will proceed with removal procedures .
Now my question is, CBSA has my passport. And I need to get police clearance from my home country, and for that I need my original passport. How can I get my passport back? I called CIC about it and they were not very sure, asked me to call CBSA, suggested to get a letter from my embassy to say that they need original passport. That is the last place i really want to call. So I thought I will ask here first. If anyone else had this situation or know what can be done will be really helpful.
