ndhillon,

Congrats!! I have identical timelines. I also received the PPR on feb/8th from Buffalo.

But, unfortunately I do not live anymore in USA. I moved back to India. I still have a US J1 visa. I am not sure if the visa will still be valid, as I terminated the job in US.

Did you submit your passport in-person at Buffalo, and got it stamped the same day?

Hi Friends.. my first post here, although I am a regular reader of this forum and this thread especially has been in very helpful in keeping up with the waiting process. I finally got my PPR yesterday and landed at Buffalo today. My status still shows in Process, and the address is still gone, not that I care anymore.. ;D

My timeline is as follows:
  • I sent in my ontario provincial application on June 17th, 2011
  • received provincial nomination August 31st
  • couldn't send in my federal application till Sept 14 as I was travelling
  • Got AOR / medical on october 27th
  • couldn't get the medicals done till nov 24th as I was travelling again
  • Medicals reached ottawa dec 10th
  • Received PPR from buffalo feb 8th
  • Visa stamped and landed feb9th
 
Congratulations folks, I see they started sending ppr to those who submitted their medical in Dec, it could be a sign that they have any kind of system that make sense.
 
Please, I need a big help!!!!!!

Can I land Canada from U.S.A if I do not have a legal status in U.S.A?

So, does Record of Landing/Confirmation of Permanent Residence is enough if I drive to cross USA Canada border? Or I also need travel documents.
Thanks

I'm not sure. As entry to Canada by land is solely controlled by CBSA, I tried to find answer to your question on their website. It just says you require PR card as a resident to travel back (http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/security-securite/admiss-eng.html).
 
Congrats ndhillon
Gives us all hope, I have a similar timeline. I still cant get any resonse as to whether my fingerprint PCC has been done/recieved by buffalo.

Hi frotenacs

Yes, I just walked in to Buffalo Consulate, stamping there is a fairly straightforward process takes a couple of hours, and another 30 mins back at the border for landing. But don't think you could do that without a valid status or visitor visa for US. Although you might want to explore the option of sending in a Rep on your behalf with an authorization letter for getting your passport stamped.
 
Hi sim24
I am having trouble getting a response from the RCMP as to whether my fingerprint PCC has been done/sent etc. It was sent Jan 24th, did you get any confirmation of reciept of your PCC by buffalo?

Hello Everyone !

I got PPR email yesterday :D Which was good but still a little late I guess 15 months ::)

Now I sent my Passport + RPRF + 2 Photos to Fort Erie address through XPresspost Canada. Does anyone sent their passport recently to Fort Erie for visa stamping ?

How long will it take ?



Thanks
 
Congratulations Eng_Mtl, When did you have Medical Results have been received?

I didn't send my passport, but they couldn't keep your passport more than 3 weeks. If you can send prepaid envelope you can track your passport back,

Hey Iamee

No, I did not hear anything from buffalo whether they received them or no ,however I emailed RCMP ottawa and they replied to my query after a month that they sent them on sept 13 and was received by buffalo after three days. n yes It does take a while to get response from ottawa.

Congratulation, you seems one of the lucky person from buffalo. I was told to fast track my file it was sent to Los Angeles, but I believe it’s not true.
 
Thanks sim24
that gives me a bit of hope, just wonder how long ppr will take after my fingerprint check is recieved?
by the way really hope you get yours in the next few days, pretty sure you will.
