Received an email today from immigration for landing on (Etobicoke office) Aug 3rd 2017!
Congrats Erable!! Happy for you. Etobicoke's landing appointment is FAST! Everyone is very nice.
Landing Appointment at Etobicoke:
When you enter you show them your landing appointment letter and they give you a number. You take a seat and wait until your number and counter are called. Moves really fast as there are many counters/booths. Ask you for your landing letter again. Ask for Passport, DL and one photo. Did not ask for receipt but please have it, just in case. Asks last time you entered Canada? Tell your spouse about 3 years financial obligation. Confirms residential address.
Then the three questions (Committed crime, refused entry, dependents under 18 yrs). Have you sign both COPR copies and give one back to you. Stick the photo to their copy of COPR (
I guess will use photo to generate PR card).
Advise that you keep COPR forever and do not lose.
Inform you PR card will come in 8-10 weeks. Ask if you have OHIP and what to do. Instruct you to go to Service Ontario to get your permanent SIN number. (Note: Let you know that you can acquire your SIN number immediately at the Service Ontario in the same building.
Inform you have to be in Canada 2 out of 5 years (730 days) to maintain PR.
Congratulate you.
Party Time!!!
