PR Application complete - Question on PR Card

01-14-2004, 07:20 PM

My husband just received notification that his Application for PR in
Canada is complete and we have been requested to submit his passport to
the Consulate so they can issue his immigrant visa. They have also
request three new photographs.

Can anyone advise whether or not they issue his Permanent Resident Card
as this point?

Thank you

Gabrielle

Nope, It will be issued about 4 weeks after he is "landed" and mailed.

Congratulations on such an amazingly fast processing time. Back in June of
last year, inland processing was supposedly the faster route, and was taking
4-6 months according to our resident experts. You've managed to get
everything approved in only three months with overseas processing. I wish
they were that fast with those of us waiting without jobs already in Canada.

Best wishes to you and your husband!

Renee
