I’ve been a permanent resident for 162 days now, but there’s still no sign of the PR card. I assumed the woman at immigration meant that the delivery guy wouldn’t be able to hand it over if I wasn’t there, but reading the British Expats Forum, it looks like she meant she couldn’t even process the address.
So I’ve now used the CIC Address Notification system to give them Tim’s sister’s address. Apparently, they just post first-time PR cards, but you need to go to a CIC office to prove your identity for any replacements – we’re heading over to Vancouver in July, so I can go to an office then if needed!
The more important update is that we’re now engaged :)
Congratulations on your engagement :) but Boo! to your PR cards not showing up.
ReplyDeleteI stupidly left the country before getting my PR card and so did my husband. He then had to spend a day waiting at the embassy in London, UK to receive temp permission to get back into Canada. WHen my PR card arrived at our Canadian address, he then had to engineer it getting into my hands before I reached airside at YVR on my return!! Oh the subterfuge!
Good luck with yours and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's sunny weather for your July visit.
