Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

[rajapr17]

Hi everyone who's received their passport,

Just wondering, how long is the PR visa valid for? Meaning how long do I have to land as a PR from the time I receive my passport? I am in Canada, but I need to travel in January, so I don't know if I should just wait to land when I come back from my travels since it seems that PR cards are taking way too long.

Sorry if this if off topic. If there is another forum I should post on, please let me know.

Thanks

I think, its mainly from the date of your medicals submitted till 1year and its the same for me as well.

Hi Friends,
Yesterday(2-Dec-2014) I got my passports back and I went to landing on the same night to Rainbow bridge and its all went smooth and by that time we went only 1 person is there ahead of us.

Wish you good luck for the remaining applicants on who are waiting for this eagerly and its more painful to wait. But we can't do anything except to be patient.

Want to share my experience of Landing at CIC office at etobicoke today .

Got an appointment at 8 am to 11 am .
Reached office at sharp 7:45 am , There were 6-7 people ahead of me to do landing in the queue . Within half an hour got a call from cic agent for interview. Interview is too big a word for the meeting whereas its moreover I feel a formality .

Handed over passports and COPR of both myself and my wife . I made them aware that original date of entry is wrong and they printed new set of documents (COPR) to rectify it which I believe is a + point of doing Landing at CIC office .

They asked set questions - Any dependents apart from wife , Any criminal offence - which both of us said "NO"

That's all , They took our photographs and pasted on respective COPR documents and asked both of us to sign , Once signed returned copy of it . They made us aware that COPR is an important document so keep it in a proper safe place without laminating it . Its useful also for Pension somewhere down the line in future.

Once signed , Agent congratulated and said the magic words " You are now Permanent resident of Canada" , Me and my wife just had a shine in our eyes and shared a smile watching each other .

Agent made us aware of SIN and OHIP update where SIN can be updated after a week as currently CIC system take time to be in sync with SIN system .

So the journey full of patience and perseverance is Over and I don't get happy easily but for sure this very day made me certainly happy .

I wish again everybody best of luck to people who are showing patience on their respective stages to be PR . Patience is the only key here that's all I interpreted with my journey .

Thank you all .

Congratulations Gurindar for landing.
I am now waiting for the passport and I am skeptical whether to do landing in a CIC office or do flag poling. I am far from borders and such a trip would be very costly and tiring. I wonder how long did it take you to get an appointment in a CIC office? I guess that's what everybody worries about, the delay in getting an appointment for inland landing.
Thanks!

Thanks .

My friend nowadays CIC is themselves calling folks to set up and appointment , This happened to me and I believe considerable amount of people also received it . After Passport received I got a call from CIC within 7 business days to attend interview in CIC office , I obliged by immediately saying yes. If you are not eager to do landing ASAP , Wait for a week if not call CIC and get an appointment .

Benefits

No Need to go to Border and deal with US folks ( Flag polling without US visa)
Looping out CBSA totally .
You can amend your COPR if any issues there itself
Time and Money .
