We landed on May 17, 2003, and submit the Maple Card application meanwhile. Actually the immigration officer filled all information in his computer for us. It has been almost seven weeks since then, but we still don't have any information about the maple card. My friend tried to call the 1-800 number many many times for us, but never get connected. We came back to US right after landing. Recently we booked appointment for visa interview in American Consulate of Toronto at the end of July. Just worry about that if we won't have the maple card by then whether we can go to canada by using the IMM5292 -- Confirmation of Permament Residence. We are going to drive from Detroit area to Toronto. Thank you for your information.
