Landed today at the Vancouver office, yay!
Arrived at 915am for my 930am appointment. It was SUPER crowded (and the space is pretty tiny). Waited for over an hour.
Actual interview was a breeze. Passport, photo, have I ever committed a crime?, have I ever been asked to leave Canada?, you know the drill by now
.
Was not asked for proof of payment. I paid every fee before submitting, FYI.
Verified the info on the COPR. They made a mistake on my original entry date. Was immediately corrected.
After 5min total I was a PR.
Then went to Service Canada for my SIN. Waited another 90 minutes. A group of about 20 young Irish folks on, I assume, working holiday visas showed up just before me.
But what's another few hours after a year of waiting? Really relieved it's over now!
