Just landed Oct. 8 here in Calgary. The questions were easy and quick. They handed me my Confirmation of PR & passport and left the building happily! So glad and thankful!
After that day I brought my Confirmation of PR & passport to Service Canada and was trying to get a newly updated SIN. I thought they will not give me because I don't have my PR card yet, but I got it!!! So I have my new SIN now...
Btw, I was surprised to know that since March 2014 there's no more SIN "card", it is now on a "piece of paper"!
To my excitement, I already booked a ticket for my family on February next year because there's a Seat Sale at Nippon Travel, so I just grabbed it.
congrats! I landed pr in calgary, too! but i waited for my pr card for sin update. now that my pr card arrived, service canada cannot validate it electronically so i have to fill-up a paper application and wait for my updated sin in the mail!!! urgh!!!!
My E-file or ECAS status: COMPLETE!
God bless & Good luck to everyone here!
