Applicants applying from Sydney, Australia

Hi - I too found this forum. I became a PR on Dec 18. They required me to get CSQ because I was landing in Quebec, so I had to get that at the last minute.   

hi guys,

hi guys

just want to let u know we successfully landed in montreal without any probs with our canadian pr (without csq). we arrived and waited 2 hrs in line to be served as more than 30 ppl were in front of us then the process was quick. just asked if me and my hubby are still married, asked for list of goods to follow and how much money we have in total both in and outside canada (nothing about how much we have now). we were given a brochure on the SIN card and asked if we had any questions and were free to go. we gave an address in ON for our PR cards.

the day after landing we applied for SIN and received the number on the spot. also set up a canadian bank account with no problem just showing COPR, pport and sin number. still awaiting pr and sin cards, but just been here a week and we were told pr cards would take 4-6 weeks to come and sin cards upto 10 days.

went to montreal, ottawa, toronto, hamilton and love canada. the people are just so nice here and we love th atmosphere its great.

if anyone has any qns just let me know

congrats on getting pr cards ozzieboy and congrats on ppr sailing!

merry xmas and happy new yr to all

congrats burp on the success!
 
FYI for everyone else, I applied for the skilled residency November 2007, still awaiting them to contact us for more info (no rush though eh!).

I have one question that I haven't been able to find the answer to without emailing the syd office. Assuming my family and I are accepted, is there a time frame of which we must arrive into canada?

For example, say on Jan 15th 2011 I am accepted, do I need to arrive by say Jan 15th 2012 to avoid losing my application???

Any help or direction to an appropriate website would be awesome.

Cheers, good luck all.

Also - Timber... We all have different reasons why we want to move to Canada, this isn't really the appropriate place to discuss that, but I can tell you that you'll find various of reasons. I for one studied at the University of British Columbia for an exchange year with my University in New Zealand, I loved it so much I wanted to move back. That simple really.

any idea why CIC took so many months for PPR. my cousinis a new delhi applicant worked in middle east 20 years back only for 4 years still waiting for PPR after medicals in sept.2009.
