Hey all,

Woohoo I just did my landing at the Rainbow bridge!! Thank you all for answering all my question. This forum has kept me sane most days. To all those who have not received pr yet all the best and your time is coming and to all those who did receive congrats!!!

Radd :)
 
I completed my landing on Saturday, 1st December at the Peace arch crossing. I'm happy it's all over! thanks everyone for updating and sharing your timelines :D
 
Got my passport request on november 16. sent everything to Detroit right away.

So last night I looked online, and CIC has changed my application to "decision made"!

I went to the Canada Post website to track my parcel.....it says "delivered" yesterday, but it wasn't!! Checked with my local post office this morning, and my apartment building's people in the office- no one has seen it.

I didn't realise that Xpresspost doesn't automatically require a signature for delivery.....would have used FEDEX, but Detroit will not send anything back to you by commercial courier. So everyone, when/if you send things by Xpresspost prepaid envelopes, make sure you purchase a signature box (they're $1.50 apparently).

I called Detroit, and the operator told me to email the Detroit immigration office directly, which I've done. So now I've got to wait to see what's inside.

So annoying!!!

Hi Radd,

Congratulation you did it!!!!!
Just quick question, can you tell me what were the things you needed to do after you received your visa approval?

Thanks

Thank you so much!! When I received my passport request I was asked to send my passport, 2 photos and on an additional piece of paper with my height and eye clour .They also, requested a prepaid envelope for the return of the passport. Hope this is what u r looking for.

Radd,

So just handwrite the height and eye colour on any piece of paper? Doesnt matter which one u use? Does it need to be typed or hand written is good? Is there a validity for the money order and prepaid envelope? Thinking of accomplishing all of it today since i dont know when i could get a day off next, just wants everything ready by the time i received PPR so i can mail it to them right away.

Thanks,
Chamybel

Hi Radd,

Thanks for replying. I want to ask after you sent your passport, 2 recent pics, additional piece of paper with your height and eye color and PPRC fee, did you still have to go to the border? was there any interview? Just wondering as I sent these items 2 days ago and what the next things to do. Thanks
 
Hi All,

On the letter received from OTTPilot it is mentioned to send 2 passport size photo (which is 50 * 70) but on link it is (35 * 45).

What size photos should we send to Detroit? Do we need photos during landing?

Yes I went to the boarder to do my landing. Note you dont have to go to the boarder to Land you can call cic and book an appointment with an immigration office close to where u live. However, it might take a weeks before u can get an appointment. The immigration officer at (Rainbow Bridge) only asked me ''what was my current status in Canada'' I told her worker and that was all. Documents I took with me were my copr, passport, workpermit and bank statement.

Hi radd,

i thought bank statement is not one of the requirements for CEC applicants?
