March 21, 2013 - DECISIO MADE!!
Hello,


Our PR letter was just forwarded to us by our neighbors. They decided to open the letter and re-enclosed in a smaller envelope. I want to make sure we have everything we need before we leave to land in Abottsford this weekend.

If you have received your COPR - please help!

We received:

1. Letter that said the date we must arrive in canada - July 27
2. A CIC copy of the COPR with a picture
3. A Client Copy of the COPR without a picture but an extra passport photo enclosed

Thanks for your help!

Just the 2 COPRs are required to land (and the passport of course :))

Good luck!

you're not missing anything :) it sometimes comes with a paper explaining the residency obligations, and the fact that you will receive the PR card via post, and a paragraph about informing CIC if your situation has changed bla bla bla.... but you don't really need that, the information is on the website ( and here as well now that I've typed it!).
Good luck with your landing - but don't stress about it, it's very easy. If you intend to import things, then just fill out a B4. If not, then COPR (both copies) + your passport should be enough.
Congrats on crossing the finish line!

So I got a lovely email from London yesterday! A personal one saying my COPR was sent out on the 23rd of April and the officer wished me well and said they hoped it arrived before departure next week! How nice eh!?
I got home last night to find it had already arrived!!
I thought it might be a wee bit more shiny...lol
I thought I'd add that I'm still waiting on my traffic history report from Australia!
Was never asked about it from London. Wasted money seeing a lawyer to get things signed!
6 days to departure...looking forward to landing as a PR!

I am really pleased that you and your family can make a new start in Canada. I will get a DM eventually, I can't complain too much as there are a few others on the spreadsheet who have been waiting longer. Let us know how your Landing goes.

Have they given you ANY news as to what's going on with your daughter's medical? This is getting kind of silly for you. I hope they sort it out ASAP.

No, I replied two days later with the information AGAIN via the website CSE and I haven't gotten a reply (didn't expect one). I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that they can find it but my family is in complete limbo right now...

I'm sure someone has already suggested this, but your husband should get in touch with his MP. It's absolutely unacceptable that this hasn't been resolved for you yet. Maybe the MP can get some more details about what is going and light a fire under CIC for you.

Yeah Sweden suggested it, however I'm a little worried that I will be seen as overacting getting my MP involved. The average is 9 months and as of today I am sitting at 7 months processing in London (total of 8.5 months) so I am not sure I will be taken seriously, or deemed that important.
