PR Cards Arriving Separately
 
Hi All
We landed in Vancouver on 26th June. This week my husbands and daughters PR cards arrived together from our Canadian mail forwarding service, no sign of mine. I contacted the mail service and they said they have not received a third card as yet.
On another thread I was told that all family PR Cards should arrive together and that it means there is a problem with my card, so I should contact the CIC.
Is this right? Has anyone else landed in Vancouver as a family and received the cards separately?
Thanks in advance.
:huh:

1. They are all sent separately.
2. Give it another week or two and then contact the call centre.

All four of ours that we have in our mitts arrived separately.

Mine is a re-do, like lots of others, but I had my letter explaining why (they are randomly picky about photos) in between the various card deliveries, so if there was a problem, you'd get told pretty sharpish.

We landed at the beginning of May and the children and I received our cards at the beginning of July (all in separate envelopes), my husband got a letter a couple of weeks later saying that he had made a mistake on the form, we are still waiting for his card to arrive.....

Thank you all. I will chill and wait it out for a few weeks...:)

Hi Debbie
you say yours arrived separately...do you remember the time frame between the cards arrival?
I am hoping beyond hope that there is nothing wrong and I am not a do-over! :unsure:

Well after just spending 15 mins on hold I got through to the Call Centre, and they confirmed that my card was sent for 'special review' (sounds scary) but is all fine and has been all cleared and sent to production on the 25th August, so I should receive it in a few weeks....phew. :)

How could they say that your husband had made a mistake on a form that CIC fill out (typed) and is completed by the IO ticking the details off as they match it to one's passport and answer three questions??

I mean initial, initial, sign and sign within the box are pretty straight forward nad checked by the IO?

Just curious as I am now in the 'wait for my PR card' mode.

Special review, eh? Ok, fess up, what did you do on your landing trip? Tell us the whole story....:).

I am sure you will get it soon enough, but I know this waiting game is no fun.

Hi PMM

Whats the number for the call centre? I could see only mailing addresses but no phone number on the CIC website as I am still waiting for my daughter PR card....we all got ours except hers.

That is fantastic! What a relief for you :)
I am still waiting. I spoke to them on the 3rd Sept and they said it was sent to production on the 25th August and would be with me in a few weeks. I am resisting the urge to call them again, I will give it another 2 weeks and if nothing will call back, a girl can only hold out for so long :frown:

PS thought I had posted this reply already, had a few babychams, so apologies if two posts that look kinda similar appear (hic)
