I just checked my online account and it got updated with Approved!!!!

Now I got question about US born child.... my online CIC account only lists counterfoil document for me and spouse... my daughter who is US born and has US passport is not included in list of counterfoil document. What does it mean for me and how will I get COPR for child?

Same situation as mine, assuming you would have sent photocopy of your daughter's PP along with photos, the child's Visa will be stamped in one of parent's passports. This is what the CIC customer service mentioned to me. I am still waiting for my passports and I remember reading the same somewhere as well. BTW congratulations! On approval

For knowledgeable people, I have a question:

If my flight from USA to vancouver has a layover in Toronto, will my visa interview be in toronto or vancouver? Can I request that it be done in Vancouver to have a shorter layover in Toronto?

I think I read it somewhere in the CIC website that you have to do landing at the first place you arrive in Canada and that if travelling by air you have to make sure you have enough time before any connecting flight

You will go through customs at Toronto, so that is where you will do your landing. I do not think your request for Vancouver landing will be accepted as your flight to Vancouver will be domestic, so you wont even see a border officer here in Vancouver.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with border crossing outside of Ontario. But I guess you can.
