I am working in US and planning on first completing the landing process in 1st week of June.
I am amazed with speed Canadian Imm is working, hope that remains same same in every aspect in Canada so I wouldn't regret moving to Canada.
Thanks ! to all of you participating and sharing their experiences in this forum.
Will post my landing exp once after I get thru the final step.
All the best :)
 
I had a question about landing. I plan to return back to the US in a week. I will be giving the address of a relative for them to mail the card in Canada. If they ask me to personally appear at the processing center to pick up the card how do I handle it considering I will already be in the US?

I was told that you need a PR card to re enter Canada. Can I get a limited entry travel document to re enter if I run into this issue?

Thanks

Medical done and waiting

Guys,

I also completed my medical on jan 21 and they received it on Feb 2nd. Send all the fee and paperwork long before. Still waiting to hear from them..............

Send fax. They replied by saying my file is with other govt. agency. I hope its in Ottawa health department.

I think they are processing cases of those who completed their medical in december 2003.

Hang in there, we will be next.
 
PP not recieved

lrugnevm ,
Sorry to hear that, Fist check with your sent & Receive (envelops) tracking numbers if you had sent via priority or other mail services.
if your tracking numbers say that it is still with consulate, then I wouldn't worry as some times they get delayed, still if you do not get it with ina week, you should contact them by phone or visit their office personally.
Regards
Hari

Contact the nearest Indian Consulate of the jurisdiction you belong to to get the PCC. Indian Consulates in US do issue PCC's for persons applying for Canadian PR and US PR (CP Candidates)

Call them and ask them the procedures to obtain a Indian PCC for your Canadian PR.

All the best.
