Is your PR paper you give to CBSA the moment you arrive in canada they give you a original stamp CBSA with the date of arrival
nope, not yet. When I called to ask about it, they said my background check was done first and is cleared. Next step should be test invite, unless for some reason I get an RQ.
I don't think it matters, you could update your address online if you wish and it will have no impact on processing time.
I feel they are becoming faster in processing. I wasn't expecting to get DM in 3 month!. you should be done soon.
If you look in the invitation email for test second page it says bring Corp, passports original and PR card plus 2 photos ID
They ask me last Thursday after the test in the interviews and I give them all , in Montreal
Thanks! Really hope so.
Even if I get the test invite soon, oath will take time. Scarborough (likely the CPC i'm being processed at) is notorious for extremely long wait times from DM to oath.
