I got my PPR one week after they received the hard-copy
Good info, i think I'll wait for my appointment in the city to get my PR activated. I've had a bad experience at the Alberta border before. ???aircar said:Hey guys, we landed on Sunday April 26th in Carway (AB) border crossing. Some things to point out, officers are not really friendly but what surprised me the most is that they seem to be not 100 % up to date, or they are just lazy:
1- Officer from the USA side gave us an admission refusal even though we had VISA to enter the States, which he apparently realized after he issued the letter. Anyway, I wouldn't care since I was just turning around and not entering the States.
2.- Officer from Canada side was wondering why we did not have a visa stamped on our passports. I explain to him that we were from a visa exempt country, but he said his system was showing that we needed a visa ( I wonder if they have internet , lol). Canada lifted the visa requirement to Chilean citizens in November 2014...seriously??. Thank God I had the letter from CIC that said " because you and your dependents are from a visa exempt country ... no visa stamp was required..etc etc...". I gave him the letter but he was like: " this does not really tell me anything "....I had to point out with my finger the exact paragraph where it said so..then he is like...Ohhhh , ok I will still need to verify this...then we were all good.
3.- Surprisingly, he said to me that the PR cards will be sent to my old address, which was the one that (again) appeared on his "system". That old address was not even used for my PR application. It was an old address that we used when we applied for study and work permits but long time ago... He said he could not modify anything and that I would have to call and check with CIC, so be aware of this... I have a friend who also landed in Carway and it has been more than 2 months and he has not received the cards yet. I am suspecting that that's what happened to him.
I hope this info helps and good luck to everyone who is still waiting...
