Congrats Toby! I've been watching your case closely since we have the same Sept. 12th date. It looks like you're going to complete the process before I do since I got delayed with 'additional documents requested'. To your credit, even when it seemed like there was no movement on your case you stayed positive. I hope after you land you still check in with this forum.. you've been an inspiration to the group!

Completed my landing today at Rainbow Bridge...Took the pedestrian bridge...Went to the US side..took I-94..observed the majestic Niagara falls for the first time from the US side...It started raining :p so had to return quickly to the Canadian Border..
The wait time was around 2 hours at the CBSA office,since there were lots of folks who did the landing today...

The actual process just took around 7-10 minutes..
There was no issues with the Original date of Entry and Last date on entry being incorrect on the COPR. The officer said that these mistakes are very common and there is no need to worry. No changes were made on the COPR.

Became a PR with God's grace...
Apart from the wait time...the whole process was smooth ... :) :) :) Thanks to the wonderful ppl here for all the suggestions and most importantly providing the much required moral support when the chips were down...

Have become so habituated to visiting the forum..that even though my process is complete..will be visiting the site with the same enthusiasm to get in touch with such superb set of folks and get the latest updates :)

Wishing all the very best to everyone....

Peace Bridge or Rainbow Bridge - Niagara Falls. It's up to you to chose which one.

Hi there i saw you are in Edmonton, I'm at st. Albert (5 mins north of Edmonton) I did my landing at Carway AB it was a 5hr 45mins driving it was 12:30 at noon on Tuesday when we were there and it was empty, I ask to the agents if it was always like that and she said that it was the calm before the hurricane,you are the first today, she added, but wait one more hour and we will have this room full.

Hi All,

My ECAS status changed to "Decision Made" sometime between 00:46 and 01:16 AM, May 3, EDT. I wrote a small tool to check updates from ECAS. Basically it checks the status every 2 hours. If any update is found, it will send you an email.

If you happen to have some knowledge about running Node.js programs, you are welcome to try and it's open source. It is available on Github. Here is the link:

Toby and all...

Thanks to all of you, I never felt alone on this journey to permanent residency. It was great place for resources and experiences and now it a forum for me to read everyday and help others even i am at the end of this journey.

Please feel free to ask any questions you all have in mind.

Kindly keep sharing experiences of landing and which bridge to prefer.. Rainbow or Peace?
