Hi Joinerboy, that would be an idea, but you would think that if there was a problem with photos etc then they would have been in touch by now! will give it another week and then if I have still not heard anything, then will try and contact them.

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine!

Wonder if CIC will forward my PR card to Southern California

Nope. They wont send the card to a non-Canadian address.

Was joking

PMSL x x

Landed on 25th March 2010 in Vancouver used a mailing forwarding address. No sign of the cards yet. Wondering if I should phone them? Getting worried

Oh, sorry. Missed that. Sometime (ok,most time), I am just too thick.

Ray

Me too

Just got word from Edmonton that the other 3 PR cards arrived today and that UPS will be collecting tomorrow.

We landed on April 25th and I received my PR card today.

Still not received our as yet

hello, can you tell me who you called please to chase up your pr cards, is there a number or immigration offices in either bc or alberta, we landed 15 august 09 and still have not receivedc them, i rang the immigration office in london and they told us not to worry as these things take time, but we are returning for a holiday/reccee trip next week so will be travelling without our pr cards, thanks for any info, les

Yours are well overdue. Did you provide a street address in Canada? It is nearly certain that something was mailed to you regarding the cards. If not then try the 1-800 number when you get back to Canada and explain your situation.

thanks jim,
is it 1-800-622-6232, am i completely wrong or should my pr cards be part of the immigration process as listed on wikipedia see below.
ive searched the cic website to see if this is correct or if i have to apply seperately, but we were told by the immigration officer at calgary airport that our pr cards should arrive in 12-16 weeks, then told again by the london office not to worry as these things take time,i gave a canadian address at time of landing, but the only thing we got sent through was a free language course offer which came in an official canadian immigration envelope with important information enclosed stamped on the front, our friend in canada, sent it over to us via ups at a cost of $65, quite expensive for a flyer advertising a free english language course i think, but that was my fault for not asking her to open the letter to check,
thanks for any help or advice anyone can give,
les


[edit] New permanent residents
Permanent residents arriving in Canada on or after 28 June 2002 apply for a Permanent Resident Card as part of the landing process.

It is necessary to supply a Canadian residential address at the time of landing. If a Canadian address cannot be supplied at the time, it is necessary to provide one to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) within 180 days. Otherwise a new application for a PR Card will be required, at a cost of $50 to the applicant. Manual applications for permanent residence cards take on average 67 days, compared to 30 days for those applied for at the time of landing.
There is no fee for a PR Card applied for at the time of the landing process

i gave a canadian address at time of landing, but the only thing we got sent through was a free language course offer which came in an official canadian immigration envelope with important information enclosed stamped on the front, our friend in canada, sent it over to us via ups at a cost of $65, quite expensive for a flyer advertising a free english language course i think, but that was my fault for not asking her to open the letter to check,
