Can you advice
how long will it take for the next step ?
1. I am outside Canada, in my home country for a family emergence and want to know if I should return back how soon ?
2. When you got PR approval email, Did you reply that I am currently outside canada and will be travelling soon , or something, could you tell me exactly what was your format to cmmunicate to them about you being outside.
It would be kind of you and I would really appreciate your response, as it will help me in knowing what should I do?
