Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

[charalito]

Just a heads up in case someone is in a similar situation: I am the main applicant and requested a change of address to CIC when we got an apartment in Canada (original address we gave at landing was a friends'). My PR card arrived to our apartment, but my husband's did not. Days passed and we were about to call CIC to ask about my husband's PR card when the friend that gave us his address when landing called and said my husband's card arrived there.

So, even if you update your address, CIC might not update for all family members. Please take extra care to make sure all your family's info has been updated.

Today my aunt got a letter from CIC (gave her mailing address as I am out of town) saying that my pictures are incorrect and I need to retake them and come in person to the Toronto Office on October 8th. I am currently out of Canada and obviously I can't get there on October 8th because I will have to first apply for the travel Document (takes around 2-3weeks).

I have the following questions:

1. Is it possible to mail everything even though they asked to come in person?
2. Is it possible to get the appointment changed?
3. Will they give the PR card right away if I go there in person?

Please please please I really need help!!!!

Thanks.

I think the best option is to write a letter to CIC given address and request to extend your visit in person. You can mention that you had a serious family situation and you had to leave Canada. Also you can apply for a travel documents in the mean time. Just keep in mind you left Canada without receive your PR card and it may case some problem in future when you will apply for a citizenship. As soon as you comeback to Canada and receive your PR it should be fine. You always have to highlight that you had to leave Canada for an emergency reason. I hope it helps. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm also in the same boat. My ECAS got updated that I landed on 12th Aug-15 and became permanent resident. Also status showed "complete".
So, what is the next step and how much more time left for my PR delivery?
Does thi smeans that the CIC opened my application and about to process/print and dispatch?

Kindly advice.

Hopefully we get the cards in next 2-3 weeks

DO you have a PR card? If yes, then there are no worries. Just get your new passport and arrive safely to Canada with your PR card. The Border Officer will see that this is a new passport.

If you don't have a PR card, then it will be a longer process. Once you get your passport, you have to apply for a Travel Document to proof your PR. Once you have it , you are good to go. Good Luck!

Thanks thomasuk. When I am applying for the travel document, what would you suggest I should say? If I tell them I am visiting family for a year and then I will come back to Canada and look for another job, do you think that would cause problems? For now I just need the travel document to enter Canada and get my PR card.

Thanks!

Did landing at Toronto airport last week. ecas has updated to completed. we gave Canadian address during lamding process itself.

queries :


1. We did not provide any extra photos during landing, they only have photo which was stuck on COPR. will they just scan from copr letter and use that for printing on pr card?

2. will ecas reflect the canadian address anytime? it shows only one address column, and that is Indian address.

3. Do i need to update address myself somewhere too?

4. Will eCas show PR card processing details, or does that happen only for some people?



I went through a few pages of this thread, it only led to more questions, no answers, hence these queries. Thanks in advance!

I do not know, how will you manage your travel document? All I can suggest you to travel to Canada as soon as you can. To find a job or looking for an opportunities are baseless. You just need to travel to Canada to get your PR card and it would be a wise decision for this situation.

I got a letter (not email) from Toronto CIC office indicating that my photo needs to be resubmitted for PR card. It needs to be submitted in person to the office along with imm5455, COPR and Passport.. In the letter they have given a date to visit the office as well..
Is it a normal request to submit COPR and passport as well?
Anyone experiencing similar situation.?

Is there anyway to track the PR card?
