Hi all,
Congrats to everyone sharing their good news. I wonder if someone could help me with a doubt, I got approved for PR yesterday, and I got a letter saying that Etobicoke office will contact me to arrange an appointment. I am traveling outside Canada next week, would this affect my landing interview? Or does anyone have an idea if I can do the landing at the airport at my return? (I have my work permit).

You might have to reschedule the appointment because you can’t do the landing at the airport,you will only show up your WP

I booked a trip to Toronto this end of July for a long weekend. I’m praying with my life the interview won’t fall into those dates

Hi all,
Congrats to everyone sharing their good news. I wonder if someone could help me with a doubt, I got approved for PR yesterday, and I got a letter saying that Etobicoke office will contact me to arrange an appointment. I am traveling outside Canada next week, would this affect my landing interview? Or does anyone have an idea if I can do the landing at the airport at my return? (I have my work permit).

If you travel by air, it will. During the interview your status changes to Permanent Resident (if you decide to accept your permanent residence during your interview). You are no longer temporary resident or visitor. You don't have an ETA anymore (if u had one before). The airport or even before you board the plane back to Canada will require a permanent resident card that you will get in 8 - 10 weeks from your interview date. The confirmation of permanent resident is not a valid travel document, work permit is not a valid travel document. I would suggest mentioning it during your interview because they do ask about those things. There was a post about it a while ago. The person rescheduled his interview after his travel. If you accept your permanent residence during your interview that will happen before you travel, you might not be accepted back in Canada (even before you board the plane) because you won't have a permanent resident card. I was told in Etobicoke that IT IS NOT recommended to leave the country before I obtain my permanent resident card.

However, there is a solution. If you are staying more than a week in a different country, you can request a Canadian embassy to issue a document for you stating that you are a permanent resident which you might use to go back to Canada.

Landing at the airport is not an option for inland applicants.

I recently travelled outside of Canada and came back 1 week before my landing interview. I was asked those questions and I was asked why don't I have a permanent resident card yet BEFORE I boarded the plane back to Canada.

Yes, it is normal.

wait for a letter with a landing date and that's all. The day after your landing interview your profile will be updated once again. Showing the confirmation of permanent resident document - expiration date (it's valid for a year), document number, etc. at the bottom.

That's what I use too, for ten months. I only linked my application yesterday, after seeing DM on ECAS.
I saw people say linking your application can provide you more infos. But just remember to check daily if you link the application, since all the messages and correspondence are made there.

Another alternative is to just call the Immigration number and check your application status with the machine. Sort of the same statuses you will see if you link your application.

So I don't think it's THAT important to have GCkey, personally
