Next steps should be towards the liquor cabinet. Patience is a virtue.

You know they have it, that is all you can do. AOR should follow in a few weeks.

Congrats! Happy to hear this! If I may ask, did you receive that pre-arrival mail at all?

Congratulations - spreadsheet updated. Well, if you stay there for three solid years after first arriving, then you will obviously make the 3 / 5 years requirement for citizenship, so I guess they are saying you can start the ball rolling on citizenship after 4 years - happy to be corrected here (counting down for my wife to do just this!).

We got approved today!! MyCiC is updated and we got an email saying we've been approved and the COPR is on its way My husband is actually flying out tomorrow so we'll need to get his parents to mail it us - I don't think we'll get it by end of day! Thanks for all the help, everyone, it's been hugely appreciated

So today I received a letter asking for the following:

Police Certificate: updated Ireland police certificate This must be received at this office by: 2019/08/05 
Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature This must be received at this office by: 2019/08/05

I understand they want a new police certificate as the current one expires next month (but still, a bit weird as it should be fine still)
But what about the IMM 5669?!? I already filled this out and signed it! And what about the "original signature"? Does that mean I can't validate it by writing down my name (per the instructions on form)
Any insight on this is very welcome!

Thanks

Just wanted to update you all - CoPR was sent out last week on June 28th. We missed the delivery and were on holiday in France so we re-arranged to today.

Finally have it in our hands!!!!!!

Thank you to everyone - I couldn't have done this process without all your help; you're all truly rock stars.

It's standard to ask for that and it's one of the last steps before they ask for photos - almost everyone has to complete an updated version. All you need to do is copy over the information from your original one, update it to the date that you are going to send it - so you will be changing the 'to' date, and any changes of course.

Woohoooooooo!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!

Congrats Don't forget to post when the 'landing' has been done so you can get the traditional 'welcome' - and to our Canniversary forum when you are settled
Some useful info.... https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Landing_as_PR-Canada

Thanks Siouxie! That surely eases my anxious mind a bit ; )

Absolutely! Looking at a fall landing! I'm still sticking around

Siouxie Just wondering about what I read on the forum here as well:
"Do not forget that some of the documents (e.g. IMM 5669 - Schedule A) are validated, so you must complete them and validate them before upload (Schedule A does NOT now need a 'wet signature'). " So, concretely this means I do NOT need to put my signature next to my name? It's a bit conflicting, I read almost everywhere that it IS needed to put signature on this form...

Hurlabrick

They keep changing the rules. As they have specifically asked for a wet signature, you MUST give them this. I would fill out and validate the form, then print it, sign it, scan it in on a printer / scanner, save as a pdf then send that, either by upload (if you have that enabled on MyCIC) or by mail otherwise.
