Hi Guys,

I need your advise. I landed in Vancouver with my wife and 3 kids on Feb 7th.

My, my wife’s and one of the kids applications were approved on March 19th and recieved the PR cards six days later.

I had to leave Canada for commitments here in the USA. A friend of mine in Vancouver checked the mail and he told me that I recieved photo requests for the two kids in order for the IRCC to issue their PR cards. The photos have to be sent before April 21 otherwise the PR application for the two kids will be cancelled. I can’t leave the USA in the mean time. So I am planning to take new photos for them here in the USA and send it to my friend, who, in turn, will put them in the envelopes we recieved and send it to the IRCC.

Is it OK to do this? keeping in mind that the photographer stamp at the back of the images shows that this is a studio in North Carolina, USA.

It is important to mention that all my kids are american passport holders, so they can enter Canada at any time without permission or visa or even PR.

I appreciate your advise.

I'd have the friend send you the letter and the envelopes received. Take pictures where you are in the US and mail the envelope to the CIC from the US. That's the most straightforward way.

Hi Friends,
I landed in vancouver on 22nd Feb along with my wife and my daughter.I am trying to link my PR card application with my express entry profile but i am not able to do so.

I request those who have successfully managed to link the application to help me on this.

What is the place of birth that you have mentioned while linking your application.Is it what is given on your passport or what is displayed in the COPR.The one mentioned in the COPR has my state name mentioned after my city name.

Other suggestions to link the profile would also be helpful.

It’s supposed to be the exact place of birth on your passport (for India). Not sure about passports from other countries.
I have done that and still haven’t been able to link my application.

Mine is showing the same too, landed March 11 2018.

Hey, I checked your history, did you apply for EE? or paper-based? Also OWP = open work permit?
Hi!

No I applied through spouse sponsorship app paper based, and yes that stands for Open Work Permit which i applied and got 3 months after applying for my app.

Thanks for your answer :) I guess just keep waiting, travelling mid May so fingers crossed!

You're spot-on. I linked it the very same day I landed, and recall its only the UCI number and Place of Birth(as it appears on your passport) that works !
