People, is it possible for permanent resident card to be sent to one in Naija after he might have landed Canada and returns immediately? I mean can one land,then finish the whole PR card processing and return after two weeks. Then, one of her relations sends the PR to her. Does it happen that way?

Though not advisable because of funny postal and courier stories, it is possible. A friend or relative at the address where the cards are received can forward it to you.

Selection Interview

1. The VO is entitled to request that an applicant attend a Personal Selection Interview if he/she has concerns regarding any or all of
the following:

• Authenticity of the documents submitted
• Truthful and total completion of the forms
• Verification of the information entered on the forms
• Clarification of the specific information provided to Immigration Canada

Note: The VO will not conduct and Interviews to assess language ability.

Under the new regulations, selection standards are more objective and clearly defined. It is expected that in most cases visa officers will be able to make a decision to approve or refuse an application based on the documentation provided by the applicant without a election interview. However, in some cases, an interview may be necessary for a number of reasons. Especially, if you do not meet the pass mark in effect and are applying under “Substitute Evaluation”, you are more likely to be called in for an interview to decide if there are reasonable grounds to exercise positive discretion

Purpose of Interview

If required, a selection interview would be conducted for several reasons:
• To verify the validity and truthfulness of certain information provided on the forms and documentation submitted with the
application.
• To clarify any specific information and inconsistencies.
• To clarify certain issues as regards to the background of the applicant and/or his/her dependents.
• To verify that the applicant possesses the necessary funds to settle in Canada.
• To confirm that the applicant is not inadmissible on security grounds.
• To verify if there are sufficient grounds to use positive discretion, if the applicant's point total is below the current pass mark.
• Under the new regulations, visa officers will no longer conduct interviews to assess an applicant's language proficiency or personal
suitability for immigration purposes.


Thanks

AJ Dacosta.

It is advisable that you apply for temporary travel documents. Otherwise, get your PR before you travel.
 
Thank you guys for all the help you have been providing. God bless you real good.

I just received my PER December 4th, 2014. Please what is the next step and what grace period does one have to migrate after the issuance PR.

Thanks a lot

Hello House,

The wait has been so hard but we have no choice than to persevere.

I have a question for the guru. I am expecting my PPR any moment from now but I have a Visiting visa that will expire in 2016. What will be the status of the Visa when the PR comes. I am asking because I am looking at the possibility of travelling before I get my PR card after landing.

Thank you.

Please which VO is the timelines peculiar to, I learnt VOs have different timeline depending on their efficiency.
 
Hello Forumites,
I wish every one a happy and fruitful 2015.May all our dreams come true IJN.I hope t share a little information-perhaps smone might find it useful.I earlier reported our landing last Nov.we spent about 3 weeks in Canada and returned to Lagos.There are absolutely no worries abt exiting Canada without receiving yr PR card.It is a gamble though-where u smthing goes wrong with yr PR card processing(eg wrong pic specification).One does nt need t process any travl doc to exit.
Just last week,my contact in Canada informed me that some of our PR cards have been recvd successfly,the none receipt of the outstanding is attributable to postal service delays.In my time,I will have d cards sent to us to enable us travel back.
We stayed in Brampton.It was good-despite the cold weather.The Nigerians we met were very welcoming and encouraged us not to retn to Naija.This attitude is markedly diff with the aloofness-evn frm fellow countryppl-I observed in London.I could retn if I meet smone willing to help me get a job-any.In my thinking,it is a must that one should hv a car.

we thoroughly enjoyed the flight aboard Turkish Airlines t Canada but the retn leg was not as smooth.The Travel Agent had said we will be accommodated in a hotel in Turkey but we would be required t pay USD 40 per persn in order t get to the hotel since it is outside the airport.(one has t sleep over in Turkey bc the flight t lagos is the following day).Well,no airline official knew where this hotel was and to make matters worse,the passport control officers who spoke passable English were unhelpful and said with Nig passports, we needed visa from the embassy.I was at my wit's end moving from point t point explaining and explaining.eventually,a gentleman(God bless him)listened and let us sleep over at the int'l travellers rest area(we did nt have t pay) and were given free meal at their care point(upstairs).I observed that this rest area(an open hall) is for int'l travellers t rest a while b4 continuing with their joni.The dormitory-like layout and small narrow beds reminded me of my sec schl days.Our Istanbul-Lagos flight was gud save for two Nigerians that were ''displaying'' bc one had put his hand luggage in a place far frm his seat but directly above the luggage area of the other man.The air hostess was reluctant t insist that ppl but their luggage directly in the space above them.She claimed Nig passengers refuse to comply.

I am hoping that I will muster courage and relocate soon.If not,then this PR status wil only benefit my battalion.I thank God for leading us thus far.

@Tangowhiskey-what's up.I must have missed yr update
