Hi NALBLR,
Congrats on getting your PR.
Are you a september applicant? Just wondering how come you got it so fast, as currently they are doing Aug. Is it because you had a 10 Yr Canada visitor visa already and so that made your case more genuine and so they processed your thing faster? Pl do clarify.

I am writing this follow-up post which would be helpful for all people with DM status.
- Got DM last Tuesday. I did not receive any call from the CIC.
- My passport arrived this afternoon. It came by registered post and was delivered by the postman. There was no strict procedure followed like in with UK/Schengen where you have to first show your passport copy and then you get the passport.
- The package came with my current passport and the previous ones that I submitted. Along with it there were 2 forms titled "Confirmation of Permanent Residence" which proved my basic information, my personal details and my application and medical details i.e. just summarizing dates and addresses. One form had my pport pic and the other was just a copy.
- There was another document titled "Visa information Important".
- The documents were literally shoved into the envelope and were quite crumpled.
- I have an existing 10 year Canadian visa which they haven't cancelled, so I don't know whether that is still held valid, or it becomes null and void once the P.R. is issued.
- Apart from my marriage certificate which was an original that I got back, nothing else that I had submitted was returned.
So please don't panic if you haven't received a call from the office. In all probability your passport is in the mail and will reach you in a week/10 days.
