Not sure if this is true. Service Ontario did not ask us for our employment letter or old/current work permit. They did punched the current health card to make them void. I was able to schedule a couple of doctor's appointments next day using my Voided Health Card along with the receipt provided by the Service Ontario for the new card. The doctor's office didn't raise any concern too while scheduling the appointment and during the visit.
My landing experience in IRCC Office, Ottawa on 23rd Jan, 2018
- Thread starter rahul123b
- Start date
We only filled one Change of Information form per applicant. may be, few Service Ontario asks for two, not sure.
Thanks for your answer. Did you notice whether she entered the correct dates to her computer ?
I am not too sure about it but she was referring information about our file on her computer screen. She also typed few times during the process but I am not sure if she corrected those dates in system or not. I should have asked her as she was a very nice lady but this didn't cross my mind. I am sure they keep track of all entry/exit dates in Canada. The first/last entry dates they mentioned in our COPR was the date our current work permit extension start date.
I am just curious whether she could type in all the corrected dates and reprint a new COPR. Also if those dates that have been corrected by hand will be typed in the system at the time the PR cards are being issued.
I’ll be walking into the Ottawa IRCC office on the 9th next Tuesday (2nd Tuesday). Hopefully that’s the right date to do so.
It is true because I was there yesterday. She couldn’t change my status to permanent resident still, quoting it was too early. So she end up just issued a new one expiring in a year under my old work permit and said next time they’ll change my status.
looks like this is related to status update in their system. For us, the agent at Service Ontario was able to update the cards with the new status after we became the PR same day morning.
Hi, wondering if you were able to do this as planned? Haven’t been able to find recent confirmation that they still do this?
Great, thanks. And congrats!
Do you live in Ottawa? Or did you travel in from out of town? I’m planning to make the trip from Toronto, but have heard conflicting information about whether they will process people residing outside of Ottawa.
And one last question sorry...what did you bring with you?
I live in Ottawa. Hmm they didn’t ask me where I came from, but then they have my Ottawa address so I’m not sure whether they enforce this. You could try emailing to get an appointment in Toronto? The next time you can go is 2nd Tuesday of May which seems to be on the 14th. You might get an appointment before that, hopefully. Otherwise, I don’t see why they would send you back because you’re not from Ottawa. Most of the time you can land everywhere in Canada except for something weird about QC.
I brought my COPR letters, passports and work/study permits, and 2 extra photos. The agent only took one of the extra photos I brought. Also I got lucky because I had old plane tickets with me that she asked for when I needed her to change the last date I entered Canada.
