Anyone knows that is sponsor addressee appears on the copy of permanent resident document for landing. My sponsor(husband in Canada) addressee is changed should I inform immigration officer as they asked in letter requested for PPR to inform any changes in circumstances to LDNIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca but at Ecas it always showed my(applicant in Pakistan) addressee.

Hi! Well in my case my husband also moved to a new place. It happened 2 months prior my landing. We received the CORP, and it had his old address on it. I emailed my Visa Office. They said it's no big deal. I just needed to provide the new address to the Immigration Officer during landing. On Ecas it still shows his old one.
Anyways. Contact your Visa Office to know for sure.
Cheers!

So I landed on May 2nd. My husband and our baby-girl came with me. We traveled to Calgary via Toronto where we did the landing. We had 3hrs 45min until the flight to Calgary. The whole process took around 1,5hrs from the moment of touching down in Toronto to proceeding to our gate. All 3 of us completed the same declaration. At the Immigration Office area there was a long line up, but thankfully it was moving very fast. The only questions the officer asked me was whether I was convicted or not, whether I have any money to declare, and if I have any items of mine coming in after. As the answers were NO, we had no problems going through customs. They didn't ask to present any baggage item lists nor open our suitcases. Just took our declaration form.
So quick and easy. As you have your CORP, they process you super fast and are very friendly. It happened so fast I didn't manage to realise that it is finally over. I can finally live and establish myself, and be with my hubby and our kids here in Canada. Unbelievable!

This forum is magical! I wouldn't be able to complete the application as perfectly as I did, so nothing had to be resubmitted or added, if not for this forum! No words can explain how thankful I am to all of you that help each other! You basically help people get their lives back and reunite families! We truly are in all this together!
Thank you soooooo much! I hope everyone gets his papers done very soon!
Love! Take care!

For those who are completed, can you tell me please the difference in the times the cic site says the process will take, and how long it actually took for you to land in Canada? They say not to contact them unless you've gone past the allotted time frame. A lot of you were completed in such a short time I just have to wonder. I know all visa offices are different, but still.....

The process time on the website at the time I applied (June 25 2015) said 17 months. My application was finished in exactly 10 months (Visa on hand April 25, 2016). What is your timeline? Have you tried requesting GCMS notes?

 

[keniw]

Mine is also 17 months, and my application was in June 1. I have not requested them yet. I'm trying to be so patient, but when I see so many others finishing the process, it's getting disheartening.

Maybe try requesting your notes to see what's happening. I posted a step by step process on how to do it on anether thread if you need help http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/new-manila-visa-office-philippines-spousefamily-timeline-t325837.0.html;msg5174605#msg5174605
