Hey guys I have a question for the landing I was thinking just to go to NY see my family that is there and then come back so I was wondering if can land at YTZ (airport at the Island) instead of YYZ? Do you know if that can be possible? If it goes to the USA I'm assuming that airport has immigration office

 

[maguita]

Awesome!!!!

Canzanillo Super nice to read your e-mail, your Meds expire the 16 and mines the 10th, so I still have a hope to hear something during this month!!!!

Now start packing and follow up with the plans to Canada!!!!!

I am so excited for you and your wife!!!!

There is always and end guys!!!! in the meantime just enjoy life!!!! and plan Christmas with your couples in a vacation destiny!!!!!!! We´ll be in the beach of Mexico .He arrives December 22

 

[maguita]

Nreilly, I know that is possible to land only via the US, people has landed just crossing the border in Buffalo and coming back, at the end the landing is in Canada, so it doesnt matter which country you go out.....

Good luck!!!!!

TorontoLove, Valeescu, csanti, Jbodden, Chrillan, Maguita, Tinyaries, JuanP_MexiCan, Pau, nreilly! Thank you for your kind words and congratulations! I enjoy helping out here. It's my small gesture of appreciation for all the help and learning I've received in these forums. This is a arduous and stressful process. Being informed, I think, helps to relieve some of that stress.

We are extremely happy and at least I am quite relieved. My wife is now beginning to stress cause THIS JUST GOT REAL! For me, having to travel to Mexico City to redo the medicals and then potentially having to go for an interview, along with the associated processing delays and travel costs really had placed a great weight on my shoulders. I anticipated an interview due to our large age difference, so not having one is a huge relief for me! My wife is excited and sad at the same time. Sad to be leaving her family mostly and her beloved Mexico. We have a lot to do in the next couple weeks. Turn off the tap of life here and prepare to travel. Yesterday we couriered off my wife's passport, address info, prepaid Fedex courier envelope ($460 Pesos for both) and new larger photos as per the new(ish) requirements, (Something you may want to consider doing ahead of your PPR so that it's done, though no more than 6 months here is the link to new specs. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/pub/pass-photo-spec-eng.pdf). We hope to have stamped passport and COPR in hand by next Friday based on the recent experience of members.

My son is coming for a visit for a couple weeks so when he goes back to Canada on the 20th we are setting that time frame for our departure date. We are driving up so getting there for Christmas is not likely, but New Years for sure!

I am of the opinion that the visa is valid until December 01, 2016.

Thanks again and Speedy Processing!!!

I have a feeling that the PR processing time of MCVO isnt 17 months anymore. Doing the math and tracking back the PPRs received this month the average processing time is between 6 to 8 months, half of the previous processing times. This is looking awesome. Good Job MCVO.. Keep on sending out those golden emails..
