Hi there

I got the confirmation regarding the canadian PR so now we (Me, my spouse & two children) have to enter the country before the same got expired i.e before 24th May 2016.

My question is that if we enter the country just for 15 days & exit but again we enter on a later date after settling my affairs in my native country,should we be receiving the PR card during that period or we have to provide some mailing address where it got delivered ?

Many thanks PMM. May I also ask if I must choose the Pearson Airport for landing purpose, or if just any airport in Toronto will do? I am asking this just to play safe, as I will most likely choose flights that arrive at the Pearson airport if at all possible. Thanks in advance again.

Hi, I got the COPR for my family and am planning to make my first landing in Toronto as part of my family trip to New York. Basically I plan to fly from HK (where i'm currently living) to NY, stay for a few days, and fly to Toronto (perhaps Pearson airport), stay for about a week, and then fly back to NY and then HK. (I will also leave an address for my relative in Toronto to receive the PR card.) Wonder if my plan makes sense or not. For instance, do I have to fly from HK directly to Toronto for the purpose of first landing? A thousand thanks in advance for some advice please, as I will have to confirm the air tickets shortly.

1. There is no requirement to fly directly to Canada to "land"

Hello,

My application to sponsor my spouse was refused in December 2015. In the appeal, I must prove that my marriage is genuine and "in good faith".

Question 1: what documents do I use to prove so?

Question 2: once I have collected all the documents I need, how do I put them in a package? Put differently, how do I compile a bunch of documents/photos in an organized and logical manner?

Looking forward to all or any helpful advise. thanks in advance!

Hi,
So I submitted my appeal within the 30 days on Jan. 5th(ish) 2015. I still haven't received any response from the IRB regarding the date of my appeal or any next steps. I also do have legal representation, but I do not have full faith in that representation (i.e. I am not satisfied with their "help"). I am trying to gather and organize things before any official date is set so that I am not scrambling last minute.
I would really appreciate it if I could get any sort of indication of how to organize the file (i.e. in what order should I have the documents complied) to present at the appeal.

Hope that's a little more clear...

Thanks so much!

1. You have to act quickly, you realized that you only have 30 days to submit an appeal from the date that you received the refusal.
2. Sponsorship appeals are not usually a do it yourself proposition, you probably should have legal representation.
3. You can start your reading here: http://tinyurl.com/h36sa5g

Me and my family have work permits that expire in 2 years. We already have health cards and SIN numbers. Yesterday we got our Permanent Residence and we are waiting for the cards. Do we need to get new health cards and SIN numbers?

Hi friends,

What if I cannot present my vaccination record (which has not been updated for many years in any event) during my first landing. Any advice would be appreciated please. Thanks.

Hello dear sirs

We got my COPR and Entry VISA on Passport up to valid to 2016/05/18 . I applied under the federal skilled trade program, my COPR Category is MST type and my Visa is IM-1.

My COPR reads "Destination:, TORONTO ,ON " but we want to land in Edmonton because we will live with friends for a few months and then would like to reside permanently in Edmonton, Alberta.

My questions are:
1. Should we land at Edmonton instead of Toronto.? If Not then how much time we have to stay at TORONTO

Dear Friends,

I need your help to check the validity of my PR Card.
I landed in Canada with my immigration documents in June 2011. Applied for my PR Card and came back.
Due to some discrepency in the picture, my PR Card was ultimately issued in August 2012, when again I went to Canada.
Now my PR Card is valid till July 2017 and I am outside Canada.
Please let me know, upto what time I can remain outside Canada?? Till June 2016, when I am completing my 5 years from the date, I entered in Canada OR till August 2017, when my PR Card is going to expire.
Kindly help.
Thanks

Hello everyone. I am a Canadian citizen and I have submitted a spouse sponsorship application for my common-law spouse. This was an inland application as she lives here with me in Canada.

The approval process is very long and we are about 2 years away from the final approval.

She currently has a work permit.

My question is - if we have a baby in the near future - is it a good idea if she collects the EI maternity benefits? She is legally allowed to do that and already applied for it.

I heard that if she collects the employment insurance benefits during the application period, our application might get revoked. Is that true?

Also, will the same rule also apply to regular unemployment benefits received?

She hasn't received any EI benefits yet, but if there is anything that might jeopardize the application, we will cancel the EI support application.

Can you please help?

Ivan
