Hi fellows, as I landed in last week, I thought to share my landing experience with you,

At KHI airport, the officer asked for COPR before exit stamping the passports, so everybody should keep COPR handy (with passports, I don't know whether or not they usually do so, but for me they did ask for COPR)........Emirates flight from KHI to DXB and then (with 3 hours stop-over) to YYZ was very convenient and smooth.....at Toronto airport there were separate counters for landed immigrants, we just had to tell them right after landing that we're landed immigrants....they directed us to CBSA counter which took hardly few minutes, followed by immigration counter. There the lady officer was very nice and cooperative, she just saw our passports / visa and COPR, retained one copy of COPR (carrying picture) and returned the other copy to us after stamping.......she also mentioned date of permanent residency on our copy....she also informed us that our PR cars would be dispatched to our Canadian address within 6 weeks (one of my friend has already arranged a rental apartment for me in Saskatoon SK, so I gave the address with postal codes)........Later we went for baggage collection.....and thence to custom. The custom officer asked me if we were having a complete list of accompnying items and goods to follow.....it was ready with me so I gave it to her, she just stamped it made the copy and stamped the copies too.....the copies were given to us..........this way in in approx 1.5 hour we were through..

Throuout this process, the most frequent thing that we listened, was "wellcome to Canada"......still listening as when I went for opening my Canadian bank account or provential ID office......

More later..

Hey buddy.. Congratulations wish you quick settlement ahead..

 

[inspectorbharat]

Yes, Congrts for that..

I got the email from DXS requesting updated schedule I for my spouse, photocopies of bio pages (Did not send the Appendix form), also requested to pay RPRF fee, and sent the separate email for medicals.

Should I consider this PPR1?

P.S: I submitted the requested documents through courier service as requested to do so in the email.

 

[inspectorbharat]

Did you try again?
Well, I think we should try unless we received confirmation/acknowledgement of delivery...

I tried sending email as well all bounced back. The one i sent from email address bounced back. the case specific enquiry bounced back and went to junk.

HELLO EVERYONE!

I have submitted my additional documents (police clearance, bank statements, and RPRF) and finished my medical as well. Here's my follow up question:

1. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP on my side and on their side?
2. Do I need to verify from them if they receive everything? How?
3. How long is the waiting time again?

THANK YOU!

Thanks maria a lot for your best wishes.. Yes you are shocked and we (me and luqi) are suffering because of LVO. Now even FSW 2014 have started getting updated documents request/medicals and we both stand no where... I dont know whats wrong...

@ Luqi...do you foresee any interview chances at this stage ?

1. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP on my side and on their side?
Wait for PPR

2. Do I need to verify from them if they receive everything? How?
NO, you will receive additional line in e-case (medicals have been received)

3. How long is the waiting time again?
It varies, from days/weeks to months. LVO is most unpredictable visa office in the world.

THANK YOU!

Congrats a lot, and wish you best of luck.
