what does your tracking say? Are you able to follow its progress to Ft. Erie? Mine had several updates....went to Richmond first, then Mississauga and then Ft. Erie. A week seems rather long as mine took two days from Vancouver. Where did you mail it from? Maybe you should call Canada Post.
I called CanadaPost... Saturday is not a counted as a business day, so my tracker was not updated. I actually didn't get an update until Wednesday when my passport had arrived home! :
I had the same route as you..Richmond, and so on. But nothing on my return. I have my visa finally
I was so excited I had my boyfriend take a picture of me with it...I was gonna post it but then realized all my info is viewable on my visa lol Prob not good to post online!
As for landing, somebody was asking earlier about it because they're planning a trip to Vegas..my visa expires August 5, 2011 it also says that my visa was issued March 30, 2011. I got my PPR on March 21, and mailed in my passport and it was recieved April 6th...so I don't know what CIC's definition of visa issuance is..
I have about 5 months to land. I am not sure if this is the case for all visas... (Maybe that's when my medical expires?? Which seems weird because technically it should have expired Feb 2011) I was also reading a paper that was sent with my Passport, I would need a travel document to go back to the USA if I don't have a PR card yet...so I had to cancel my trip for this weekend ;(
I will probably wait to land until after my camping trip to Oregon in Mid May (which will mark mine and my partner's 3 year anniversary.) Sucks but I don't feel like applying for a temporary travel document...Does anybody have any experience with a travel document prior to receiving a PR card?
