Ah, thanks for doing the analysis for me! I was thinking of doing the same later today. Let's hope for a swift processing for the both of us Any plan yet on where you would like to settle down in Canada once you get your PR?

I think on this forum we're also more likely to take notice of it when an application goes wrong or takes incredibly long...from what I've been reading in this topic many people certainly can get it well under 6 months.

Either Vancouver or Victoria! Where are you residing now?

Yeah, those are the cases that are talked about, right? I hope your case is swift and you can change jobs soon

Hi All.
I just got MP today. However I got an ADR-Police Clearance for my spouse even though we both acquired our PCC at the same time.
Only my spouse got ADR, for the principal applicant no ADR-Police Clearance required.

I have applied for and received two work permits before - I did answer "Yes" to the question if I had applied before and even entered my UCI - but so far (about two weeks since AOR) I still have just a CANxxxxx number.

Mine changed after passing medical. had the same issue previously.

excuse my ignorance but I have a big question in my mind. I applied to EE just to try and I got lucky and here I am. If I get the PR soon but I want to move to Canada say in 2 years, would that be possible?

What are the steps after we receive PPR? Is there a deadline to enter Canada to obtain the PR card? Is there a minimum amount of time per year to keep the PR active? (like Green Card which you have to be in USA 6months a year)

You have to enter Canada one year from the date you did your medical exam, so no, you can't wait two years. You can however enter Canada, activate the PR and return to your home country. The requirement for keeping the PR is presence in Canada for at least last two out of five years. If you do not fulfill this requirement, your PR will revoked. This will happen when you try to enter Canada whilst not fulfilling the requirement.

I think there should be a rule that people who are not seriously considering moving to canada should not be allowed to join the EE queue and take up deserving spots of other candidates.

So just checked and my medicals are passed now. I guess i'm in IP1.

We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
You passed the medical exam.
We do not need additional documents.
You do not need an interview.
We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

So I should not ask my panel physician if they have uploaded my reports I submitted yesterday as the meds passed. or should I?

After your application is approved, you have to land in Canada before your visa / COPR expires, usually it is 6 months from the date the visa is issued, or the day when your meds expire, which ever is earlier.

Only after you land, you become a PR. Then you will have to meet the residency requirements, which is 2 years of residency in Canada within 5 years.

So technically speaking, after you land, you can leave Canada, return to your home country, and stay there for 3 years, then return and stay continuously in Canada for 2 years and still maintain the PR status.

There is. If the officer thinks that you will not become established in Canada as a PR, your application can be refused.

This is well defined in the rules. To give you an example, if from your past conduct, or from your intent the officer thinks that you will not be able to establish residency in Canada, the application will be refused.

In the past applications have been refused on this basis.

As far as I can see on this link, it is not three years, but two years for keeping PR.

3 years is for obtaining citizenship.

I am seriously considering moving to Canada in 2 years. so I do not think I am being unfair to anyone.

My country is being eliminated from list of countries whose citizens can apply for immigration from some other countries, such as Australia. So I wanted to try sooner rather than later.
