yeeeeesss!!!!Visa issued!!!
Any advice on flagpoling? I do need a visa to enter USA so I will have to make a U-turn before entering the border..When I leave Canada will they ask where am I going? Will they stamp in my passport? And after the U-turn when coming back will the officer ask me if I entered USA?Or I jus mention that Imade a u-turn?I am a bit confused about this process...However getting an appointment is not an option as takes too long and I can't wait.
Also, I have 1 more PR applicaton in process, WP in process and tourist visa app in process...Do I have to revoke them all? If yes, how to do it? Lot's of questions...Please advise..Thanks!!!

congrats Islington, I am very happy for you

btw, how long is the visa valid for?

Since I am from Quebec (Montreal) and applied thru CEC route (applied for Ontario location), it means I will have to move outside Quebec or at least convince the authorities that I have or will move. In this scenario, how and where should I do U turn? How do I convince the authorities? What if I decide not to move outside Quebec (they may reject saying apply thru CSQ route instead)? Can someone please throw light on these points?

Good news. I just received my email to pay my Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) and to send them a copy of my passport (as I'm exempt from having to send my actual passport) which is great news.

Does anyone know what the waiting time from now till I receive PR is.

Thanks.
