Hello all,
I just wanted all of you to know that we(me , my wife and my son) got PR card today. We applied back in Nov 1st 2002. Today was our appointment date. We went to 55 st. Clair Ave. near Young and st.Clair crossing. The office was at 5th floor of that building. There was no line in there for PR card. Our appointment time was 2:12. They asked for our PhotoID(I showed them DL). They took our original Landing paper and stamped on it and told us to hold on to that paper. They said that we have to produce it at the time of citizenship application. They did not ask us any question . I had to sign the PR card for my son as he is only 18 month old. So that's it . We took the card and came back to Mississauga. Overall it was smooth.

Hope my posting will help you guys

Congrats Bagchi,

one more immigration related thing out of the way.

Havent seen you on the forum for some time.

It took almost 3 months.
 
Congrats Bagchi,

Thanks for posting your experience. I myself have an appointment later this month.

On your letter did it say what window you are supposed to go to at the CIC center.

I don’t have Canada driving License, I have only my IMM1000, SIN Card and Passport + have my US credit card with my photo on it, as posted by" RajanJohn" in other thread that one needs photo ID (Canadian issued) I don’t have one, will they deny the PR card when I go to CIC office with out Canadian ID to pick up my PR card?

As I am working in US so I wanted to keep my US DL and I read that for Ontario DL you have to surrender your US license and you cannot have US license and Ontario license or Canada licence it is illegal to keep both the driving license of US and Canada.
I don’t have Heath card of Ontario.
What other Canadian ID can I get? Or I will be allowed to take my PR card?
Please help
Thanks
 
Yes !! It is a big relief

Hello all,
Another hurdle is out of my way. Sorry mercury6, I could not visit this forum for over 3 months as I lost my temp job and I was out of jobs for more that 1 and 1/2 month. Now I again got a temporary Office job, so for now I am OK. How are you doing? Did you brother and mother got the immigration yet?

For AKAM, I have done my Masters degree in CIS from USA (Rhode Island) (92-95) and then I went to the Chubb Institute in New Jersey to upgrade my skill in (98-99). I have MBA from India before I came to USA in 92 to study. That is what I put when I applied as my Education. I put my California work experience where I worked as Web developer, the Database developer experience in New Jersey and the junior programmer in Boston etc. Fortunately I have all the appointment letters with me so I gave them Xerox copies of all the appointment letters. (And definitely copies of tax return for all the Years)

For Raja John, No such window was mentioned in my letter. Once you get to the 5th floor and go to the security guard, they will tell you to proceed to the (in our case yellow window) window.

For saathia, I think if you have the passport, you will be OK. As they (the lady in the counter) asked me for the Photo ID. I just showed her my DL. But again, I am not so sure that you must have some type of Ontario/Canada photo ID or not. So please check with some one else too.

Thanks All

Moloy

I am aware that it is Illegal to have a US DL and a Canadian DL simultaneiously. I am not sure what to suggest.
 
applying for Canada PR card

Hi Bagchi,

Congrats on receiving your PR card. I am staying in US right now and planning to apply for Canada PR card. Is it ok to travel frequently with landing papers to US from Canada... if so how many days can we stay in US.

As per CIC they have given particular dates to apply for the PR card. Is it necessary that we have to apply for the PR card at the time mentioned or can we apply any time as per our convenient before Dec 2003. Please post your experiences as incase if it is improtant that we have to apply for the PR card as per the given dates then I have to apply before Feb 28.

Please also post your experience about applying and receiving PR card. I thank all Senior and Junior members in advance. Your immediate reply in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Bagchi Moloy,
Thanx for ur reply, but my question was, for long you are in US & how did U manage with that in your PR application, & where is the necessity of enclosing appointment letters & tax returns ( by the way, which one did U enclose, US or Canadian ).
And all the education you have mentioned (quite impressive) are after taking Canadian immigration or before ? if not there is no need for them to know, they only want only what & where you where after landing, to track you.
Thanks again
 
Regarding PR card questions

Kishore,

Your question was :I am staying in US right now and planning to apply for Canada PR card. Is it ok to travel frequently with landing papers to US from Canada... if so how many days can we stay in US?

Ans: I am not sure about that. I never left Canada after I entered here in Jan 10 2002, So I am not sure how many days you can stay in US or if you can travel frequently between US and Canada with you landing paper or not. But from all other threads, I believe once you land, under new law you can stay out of Canada 3 year out of 5 years. Now another thing I understand also from other threads that you can travel with your old (paper) landing paper until Dec 2003. After that you have to have the PR card to travel back and forth between Canada and any other country.

Your second question: As per CIC they have given particular dates to apply for the PR card. Is it necessary that we have to apply for the PR card at the time mentioned or can we apply any time as per our convenient before Dec 2003?

Ans: I personally know few of my friends, landed in 2001, did not applied yet and have no intention to apply with in Feb 2003. I did read the form (PR application form) very well. It definitely had those timetables for application submission, but (correct me if I am wrong), nowhere it says that you are not allowed to apply once the submission date is over. Call CIC to for most accurate info. But I can tell you this much that my few friends, (landing year 2001), have not applied for PR card yet.

Hope this information helps you.

AKMA,

Sorry I did not understand your first question. I though you are asking me about "How to immigrate to Canada "-related question. Sorry about that .

Here is the rundown of all your queries>>

a) I lived in US from 92 to 2002 Jan. I got my Canadian immigration in 2001. >>In PR application you have to mention where you stayed for last 5 years (question 13).

b) You are right you don't need to give any Xerox copies of appointment letter or Tax return. I apologize for that. I did not understand your question right.

c) You have to mention your past 5 years work or Education history. So I mentioned what I did in USA. (educationally or work wise)(question 14). Again I did not attach any documentation for that.

Please look at question no 13 and 14 in PR Card application form. You have to mention where you stayed for last 5 years and where did you work/go to school for past 5 years.

Let me know if it helps you. Email me at moloyus@yahoo.com , if I can help you answer any other questions.


Thanks
Moloy
