Update!

Hi,

First of all, heartiest congrats to everyone who have received positive updates. Regarding my case, I have finally received my passports with visa stamps along with two copies of COPR each for myself and my wife (one having pic and the other without pic - they returned the 2nd pic).
There is one big decision I need to make for which I need valuable input from you guys. I have just got a tempting job offer from one of the largest companies based in Saudi Arabia. This job is 'once-in-a- lifetime' opportunity. What are my options? Definitely, I would not trade-in PR with this job. What are the landing requirements? Can I make a short trip to Canada or do I need to stay there for some time? Can I, in anyway, avail both these opportunities together?

Thanks in advance for your kind suggestions.

bro,
first of all congrats!
then,
job in KSA will give you ONLY "SOME" money,
but
Canadian PR will provide:

1- safety net to your family,
2- peaceful and prosperous life,
3- good education and a bright future to you children (let me say even to your generations)
4- freedom
5- growth opportunities

and a long list..............

decision is your whether you want short term benefits or long term (forever)

The Citizenship and Immigration Canada has begun accepting applications under new caps for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), starting May 1, 2014.

My question is:

1) Should applicant send his/her immigration file before Express Entry launches in January 2015?

2) Or it can be sent for processing with in the period of May 1, 2014, to April 30, 2015?
http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2014/2014-04-26/html/notice-avis-eng.php

3) Will Express Entry 2015 replace FSWP 2014 in January 2015 or these both systems will be in processed parallel?

a lot of confusion!
some say that this will end in December 2014, some say this will end in April 2015,
lets see....?

Thanks for clarifying.

Sir

Let me make clear

Immigration fraud is when we land , and exit after a weeks time or so , and get our PR crads delivered through other sources

I will suggest to get PR card , by staying 3 months , and then exit legally on your PR card.

I hope it is clear now

Stay Blessed

We should all send email to LVO about this long delay in getting the visa and passport back. They should not keep the passports for so long specially for the applicants who are expats / outside of their home countries... 3-5 weeks (and still counting) for just printing the Visas and COPR is too much...even if they have technical problems...what kind of system they have that can't be fixed in 5 weeks :-X

LANDING EXPERIENCE


Hello Folks!

I am back from Canada. It has been quite a while since my last post. I was busy with some travel and the Canada landing. Here is my landing experience.


I landed in Canada on 26 August 2014. I was already in UK for a trip, so I took a flight from London to Toronto. The flight was via Montreal. My destination in Canada as per my application was Calgary.

I landed in Montreal and was done with my immigration /landing formalities in a short while. The wait in the queue took an hour ..the immigration formalities itself took 15 minutes. I had nothing with me, just a small bag and no funds , no list of items to follow.

Immi Officer: How much funds are you carrying funds with you?
Me: Zero. Only cards.

Immi Officer: Okay. So how much money do you have at your disposal to be transferred to canada for your settlement?
Me: 30,000 CAD

Immi: Any goods to declare?
Me: Nothing.

Immi: ( Looking at my bag) Is that all you luggage ?
Me : Yes.

Immi: Any goods to follow?
Me: May be some items. My wife will landed later so she will get them

Immi: Address in Canada?
Me: ( my sisters address)

And that was it. He gave me the welcome to canada look and the book
Next day I rented a car and went to Service Ontario office. Got my SIN in 5 minutes. Checked a few banks for accounts,CC, etc.
Stayed in Canada for 7 days as a tourist. And returned. My sister will send me the PR card by post later.


If anybody has any queries regarding landing, feel free to drop me a line.

Good luck to all.

Regards
