Hi there and welcome to Canada!

The picture used for your PR card is one of the pictures you previously send when you applied for permanent residence. No picture is taken at the airport and you don’t need to bring one with you.

Hello

You have a great website here with some really good information on it.

I obtained my permanent residency and plan to travel to Canada in July.

I am leaving on the Federal Skilled Workers .

When I land in Canada ( Toronto) and heading to Vancouver after 10 days to stay there),hopefully I will have an address to give to the emigartion officers that I meet a the airport.

If I do and they forward me on the Permant Resident card is a photo of me taken at the airport? This seems like a dumb question but tI was just wondering. presume it is a photographic I.D.

Do I supply the photo’s do I bring them with me?

Any help I would appreciate it.

Your wife is free to work or not. She doesn’t have to work, it’s up to her.

I recommand she applies for a SIN card. It is not only used for work.

What is your status in Canada?

There is no such rule for becoming a permanent resident. There is no such thing as “ressindetship” either.

To become a landed immigrant, you must apply for permanent residence.

You must have heard that after three years in Canada as a permanent resident, you could apply for citizenship.

Hi hope you can help me.. I heard that if you have lived in Canada for over 3 years or so you can apply for a ressindetship.. In my case I don´t know who elegiable am I, since I am turning 4 years in Canada next January leaving to my home Country for a few weeks but always coming back to Canada.. I love here but I do see the way to become a resident, Do you know anything about this?
I will appreciate your help, thanks:)

@Nigel Babu — if you’re generally settled in a certain city, but unsure of where exactly you’re going to be living, try this. Find your local UPS store (try google maps) and get a UPS mailbox. It functions and looks just like a permanent address, plus you can go and check it no matter where in the area you actually live.

@Nigel Babu — This is a tricky one because you do need an address. I know some people who use a friend’s address… For the Permanent Resident card, you have a lot of time to provide an address if you can’t give one right away at the airport.

I will reply by email regarding your case, but I’m glad to discover you also have a blog!

@Final_Transit — Not a citizen yet, next week!

You are so right about the SIN card. I changed mine twice already, from a 9 to a 5… and soon a 6 (or is it the other way around?? I’m tired!)

@Tulsa Gentleman — Thank you! Almost citizen, almost…!
