A quick question to people who got PPR

How did you guys fill in "Height and Eye Chart"?

Printing that email and filling in by hand is ok?


Thanks

If I am not mistaken there are a bunch of consulates all together and it was signed CANADIAN because it was the Canadian consulates that it was going to...

They will give you a date to land by. You can call the closest CIC office and see if you can go there for an appt, but it usually takes weeks to get one. OR you can go to a bridge, drive up, tell them you want to land and all you'll do is turn around, then go to the CDN border patrol, tell them same thing, go into building, do your thing :p, and drive back into Canada! :)

Tick-tock... Indeed, I found it doesn't end until that COPR is stamped and stapled inside the passport.

Well, hubby and I finally decided it seems like we're not getting PPR this month. So we scrapped together 75 dollars for an extension of his Visitor's Visa (expires Nov 26th, 2012) *sigh* I'm thinking the rest of this week is going to be a bit of a downer for me.

Don't get me wrong! I'm glad y'all are getting PPR and landing. I just wish it was our turn!

You do realize, of course, that by forking over the $75 to file for an extension you've pretty much guaranteed it's going to happen - probably right after they approve the visitor's extension...
