[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Canadian Entry Permit

[Paul Moore]

Wahoo!! I received the Canada Entry Permit today 2/22. I believe I mailed off the form on 2/1. I also mailed the thru hike permit to PCTA around the same time and got that last week.
Ready to hit trail.

I sent off for my Canada entry permit the same day I sent for my trail permit; still haven't seen the Canada one.  How long should this take?  Neither my husband nor I have any legal issues.

I sent my thru-hike permit application to the PCTA on 6 Feb and the Canadian entry permit on 7 Feb.  Haven't heard from either one.  When did you send yours?  I figured at least 4 to 6 weeks, so I'm not nervous yet.  Should I be?

Ellen, et al:
 
I got a phone call from the Canada Border Services Agency the other day 
because I had failed to provide a photocopy of my US passport. Couldn't 
believe the personal service. The fellow was very personable, and we talked 
for 5 or 10 minutes. At one point he said "You wouldn't believe how many 
people are hiking this trail". Anyway, it appears they are swamped.
 
He said that if I emailed the photocopy as an attachment then "I can put it 
in the other big pile". I sent the email, and he sent a nice reply that he 
had received it! Am I dreaming, what government agency does this? Got to 
love those Canadians. Anyway, my application is presumably in the "other big 
pile" now! If you've sent in an app, it's in one of the big piles.
