Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[Canooknic]

Hey guys, I had a quick question I was wondering someone could help me with: My husband needs to get 2 photos taken (to Canadian visa specs) to submit with his passport. Anyone know where can he go in London to get it done for relatively cheap?

Is there a Jessops nearby?? They did my fiance's

Hi Everyone,

We just got a letter requesting my passport which is awesome. I have a few questiosn though:

1) They say they need teh passport within 45 days but I am actually flying away with work mid november fro a week and I am also flying home for x-mas, do you think I could just send my passport 2nd January or should it go straight away.

2) Also we need to enetr Canada on or before April 11th 2012, Do we need to stay there once we enter opr can we fly in for the weekend, we currently live in BERMUDA and had planned on leaving April 30th.

Thanks in advance,

Alanmaura

Congratulations Alanmaura! It's good to see London making it's way in to July applications, hopefully I'm getting close too! Can't answer your questions though I'm afraid, I'm sure someone else will be along soon though!

Hi Alan,

In answer to Qu 1, I don’t know. It says to send within 45 days, but I see your problem.
If I was you, I would send a CSE to London immediately. Failing that, I would cancel my business trip and send the passport.

Qu2, yes you can fly in for the weekend, and land, then leave again. But you must be able to provide a Canadian address when you land, as that is where they send the PR card to. If you are form a visa exempt country (are you English?) then you should be ok reentering with just passport and COPR and no PR card, but if you’re not from visa exempt country then you’ll need to obtain a travel document to reenter Canada.

And congrats on the PPR!!!

Thanks Pinklady, I'm from Ireland so I don't need a visa to enter Ireland.

Great I will get onto London ASAP regarding the passport.

This is exciting

Just got back from collecting my passport in London ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations!!
Now just the landing and then the whole thing is over, yey!!

Pinklady, my husband will be landing in Toronto hopefully around early to mid February. We're having a religious wedding ceremony in Ireland in December just before New Years, so I do get to see him for a week between now and February- it's not the greatest, but I'm grateful that I don't have to wait until Feb to see him.

Well congratulations! And its good that you will get to see him in December. Then you'll be able to count the sleeps until you're together permanently, yey!!

 

[pinklady]

Question to those that might know...can I assume that if we got PPR that our application is approved? - even though eCas still says in process? I mean can they really decline us now?

Hey, I know its easy to still have doubts and worries, but..... they would not request your passport unless they were ready to issue the visa! You're almost there!!

 

[Alanmaura]

Guys,

What kind of turnaround are peopel seeing with their passports? Is it taking longer than 6 weeks?

 

[JenB]

*sigh* all these people with sponsorship approval on sept 6th geting ppr and nothing for me, knew this would happen! Lol oh well, I still have till Jan 19th before the meds run out and I get kicked out of Canada cos my work permits done, it's still do-able! ;D

 

[mittens]

congrats alanmaura, when did you apply?

simdlee, how did you receive your PPR? snail mail, e-mail etc?

ok, well i have received an automated response to my email query so at least i know thye have the correct e-mail addy!
just wait and see if/when they finally get around to updating my address and hope to every higher being known to man that they haven't sent PPR to old address *big dramatic sigh*

 

[JenB]

I've got all my fingers and my toes crossed for you mittens! You've got to hear something soon!
