Hello All,
I am new to this site and after refering many posted messages I was really impressed and it is wonderful.

I have a question, which is related to PR stamping in the passport. I am not sure that anybody is posted regarding this, if it is repeatative pls bear it.

I have got the PR appoval notice and asked to submit the passport. I submitted my passport on July 30th 2003 and its delived at buffalo canadian consulate on July 31st. I want to know, how long it usualy takes to get it back? I have seen in there in the form saying it takes 15 business days. I just wanted to have an idea, how long it takes it practically (people already experieced).

My landing date in Canada is on or b4 Oct 16th.
When will be the Landing papers send out? Is it send along with stamped Passport?

It would be really appreciated, if you can reply me as early as possibel.

Thanx & Regrds

landing papers come along with your stamped visa. its been about a month's time already in your case. recheck the letter requesting for your passport if CIC had asked for any other documents or photos. if you have sent them all that was asked for along with your passport, you should expect your passport anyday now. once you get your passport, you can land any minute from that time until your landing expiry date.
 
Thank you so much for your immediate response and it is appreciated.

I had submitted my Passport and it is reached in CIC Buffalo on July 31st, 2003 and it is 11 days is over. How many days usually takes to get it back? Is it 2 Weeks or 10 days? I had sent by FedEx with Return envlope

I have a plan to go to India and back as soon as I land in Canada. And also I want to come back in a month time (probably early Oct 2003). I am not planning to wait for PR to come in. Is it okay to travel from India to Canada with same Landing paper? I have read some where, Landing papers are good for travel till Dec 31st, 2003. Or do I need to have a separate travel doc from Canadian embassy in India? If it is yes, how long it takes?

I have applied for myself and family. Do I get different landing papers each one of us or just a single doc which include everyone?

Pls reply me as soon as u can.

Thanx & Regrds

It took 8 days for me to get my passport back. But I had sent it in the grey envelope.

You do not need the travel document until Dec 30, 2003. However I am not too sure how the process works if they have already issued a PR Card. I think it takes three - five weeks to process PR Card. In that case would be better to ask your friend/relative to mail it to you at India. If it is not processed until then, I guess you should be able to use your landing documents to go back.

I am not an expert on this, so please review and decide accordingly.
