INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

[Toronto84]

Hey everyone,

Everything went well today and my wife is now a Permanent Resident of Canada.

We are very happy.

Good luck everyone!

Our DM came via normal mail.

It's a fantastic mystery how it ever arrived at all.

how long do you take to receive the actual mail ?

how long do you take to receive the actual mail ?

Theoretically, 3 to 4 days longer than it takes for email...

In practice, months or years longer.
Sometimes CIC forgets to mail things, forgets to create documents, mails your stuff to the wrong applicant, etc.
You know, that kinds of things you could expect of a bag of lobotomized doorknobs.

Also, in interest of "efficiency" they don't track anything, there's no notes, nothing.
If they don't mail something they don't have any idea that they didn't, all they know is that something maybe was supposed to be sent to you at some point in time, but maybe it's not ready to be sent yet, or maybe it did get sent, or maybe a swimming rabbit is attacking Jimmy Carter.
You could literally be talking to an agent *while* the post is delivered to your house, complete with the document you've been waiting for, and the call center won't even know if that document was even created yet.

So so so stupid.

Hi Wes2016,

What is your timeline? Yes you can go to your home country and apply for PRTD (Permanent residence Travel document) when you arrived at your home country to able to re enter canada while waiting or your PR card.

That is what we are going to do as well for my hubby. We are going on vacation as well.

Please send your timeline.

Thank you

You are not a PR until you officially land as PR. DM does not means you are PR. So you cannot get a PR card with a DM.

You can go to your home country for a visit but be aware that your landing letter may arrive while you are outside Canada and may even miss your landing appointment. Or worst get denied re-entry into canada. It is a small risk to make whenever one travels outside Canada.

Thank you for your reply.

That means I can go to my home country after getting Landing interview done and submit my passport for PR card after coming back from there?
Also, can you please tell how long to get landing interview?

Hi Mumay1829,

Thanks once again. Can you please also share the processing time for PRTD?

Each Landing Office has it own processing time for landing interview after DM. So I cannot tell you how long you are expected to land after DM.

Once you land as PR, you can leave Canada before getting PR card. If you are from Visa exempt country, you can still use your passport to fly back to Canada. Just let the airline know you are visiting Canada. Once in Canada, CBSA can determine your PR status and let you in.

If you are from a non-visa exempt country, you would need a PRTD (PR travel document) to be able to fly back to Canada.

Wes2016 - just to summarize for you...
-DM doesn't mean you are PR, so travelling can be risky
-you need to get your landing invitation and appointment and go land to become officially a PR.
-At that landing they will then submit info for your PR card. At the landing you will get a CoPR document (Confirmation of PR)
-After that landing interview you are free to travel even without the PR card that may take a couple months to arrive.
-If you are from a country that does require a visa to visit Canada, then yes as soon as you arrive in your vacation country you must go apply for the PRTD (PR travel document) from a Canadian embassy/consulate. Not sure how long that takes to get.
-If you don't need a visa, then you don't need a PRTD.
-When you board the plane to return to Canada, use your passport (and PRTD if needed) to "visit" Canada.
-When you arrive back in Canada the CBSA officials will use your CoPR document and passport and they can see in their system that you are a PR and welcome you in.

Hope that helps!

I just received my GCMS notes and it says " Fingerprints Required" however they did not send an email requesting it. The Police certificate from my country were sent with the application. What does this mean and should I wait till I get a request?

Application received = Dec 08, 2014
Meds request = Mar 9
SA = Jun 1st
No AIP or DM yet

They may have already sent you the request, emails from IRCC "get lost" quite easily. I think you should go to the local police station ASAP, get your fingerprints taken and send it to IRCC with an explanation that you have never received the request and you became aware of it only after you received your notes.
