TEECANN:
Bro, by that short procedure that you described above, as an inland applicant, you have officially landed in Canada.

Unfortunately, I doubt it whether you got the "welcome to Canada" greetings that international applicants get when landing at the international port of entries. ([s]I'm sure you'll say- who cares- as long as you have gotten your PR status![/s] )

(Honestly, sometimes I think we- Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) category(majorly outland applicants) don't appreciate enough the weight of the benefits of the PR status that we clinch right from our home countries and land with in Canada, all within 1 year of applying (myself inclusive)....To clinch that same PR status, it will cost the Canadian Experience Category applicant (CEC- that's the category for those that schooled in Canada and eventually stayed back to work on work permit or other temporary work permit holders already working and living in Canada but not permanent residents) about 1 to 4 years of schooling (depending on what level of study), 1 year of post-graduation work experience and thereafter putting in his permanent residency application....effectively making it a minimum of 2 years to about 5 years of braving the Canadian winters before he can claim to be a permanent resident of the country he's been living in the last 2 to 5 years)

Congratulations once again on your PR.


It will end in praise IJN!

Thanks a lot. Well, they do give some of us (inland applicants) the "welcome to Canada" greeting and you're right, sometimes outland applicants do not fully appreciate the fact that they can get the PR status from home but I understand though. Imagine a scenario where someone get theirs in 30days, I'd want mine to come faster too. In all, we should be grateful for the opportunity, it is a privilege, not a right.

So, I have been following this thread as a guest but decided to share my timeline even though I am an inland (CEC) applicant and there's no particular thread for us; I know some of us (CEC applicants) lurk around here just to compare and contrast plus canadavisa forum isn't really my thing.

AOR - September 27

Medicals Passed/Request Letter - October 25
Request was for RCMP criminal record check as I didn't include a Canadian police report with my application. Submitted it like two weeks later

Procedural Fairness - January 9
They needed extra proof of my Canadian work experience even though I had submitted paystubs, employment and job summary letters in the first place. I submitted my record of employment and a LOE same day

ADR (RPRF)/CoPR - January 16
Got the request to pay RPRF and CoPR same day. In the CoPR I was scheduled for an interview on January 24 and asked to come along with my passport, 2 passport photographs and proof of my status in Canada.

Update: So the scheduled interview was actually landing in its own right. Got there 10 mins to the scheduled time, got myself a number card, waited till it was my turn. I was asked two questions. Have I ever been convicted of a crime in Canada or elsewhere to which I answered NO. Also, I was asked if I have any dependants I haven't stated, I said NO. They printed my CoPR, have me sign both copies, they took one with one of the aforementioned passport photographs and that was it. The waiting time aside I didn't spend up to 5 minutes there.

Congratulations!!! We can still say that this is fast cos even CEC has been kind of slow these days. Any idea of you VO?

I ordered GCMS once and I observed my application was thrown all around. Started in Winnipeg then Ottawa, Edmonton and also Vancouver.
