My POE was at Pearson three months ago. I haven't received the Welcome Letter yet nor the green card. The POE immigration officer did say to me that it could take up to 8 months. I thought he was pulling my leg because after reading this forum, people were receiving their card in about 4-6 weeks. Should I be worried?

BTW, I applied for my SSN during my fourth week in the US and it arrived in less than a week.

They told me when I crossed that if I hadn't gotten anything in 6-10 months to call them at the border crossing and inquire.

I just got my green card and my welcome letter, but still waiting on SSN.

Which is ok with me.

Don't forget you can claim EI from Canada while you are in the USA.
