Scylla, thanks. I am a PR. I hope that makes it a little simpler!

I landed in late 2014 and planning to move to Montreal soon, depending on my work situation. Just wondering what would be a safe and easy commute part to live in downtown or close to downtown? The last time I was there I was close to the Place des Arts metro. How can I go about looking for...

Where are you landing from? I believe west island is a good start for "English" speaking areas. Also, depends where you have a job ; if you want to live close to the job.

polara - I have highlighted a part of your sentence in bold. I must say I smiled when I read that. I live in the US and I am not the kind to brush off issues (like many people do and choose to continue to live!). Just curious if you had an specific subject in mind when you said that. P.S.:I am...

I am in a dilemma, obviously we have all see these posts and here I go again, the question for me is not really Canada vs. another country. We all know the pros and cons (pros list is longer I would say for Canada compared to other countries). My question revolves around the work ethic and...

Hello friend First of all congrats on becoming a permanent resident! We all question our decisions sometimes. Think of the positives in your life. I think it is greatyou landed a job. Not many people manage that. US/Canada are very different from India in terms of culture. Ad aashay has...

I have the followingquestions 1. Do i need to fill in the form and submit all my addresses etc or just inform cic and wait for the replacement card? 2. Can I send my application to my friend in canada or should I go personally? 3. Can I set up a mailbox such as UPS for the receipt of my PR...

I am not from a visa exempt country. I would be able to drive and therefore use my COPR for entry. Thank you.

That is potentially not good news for me. Do you know if both my husband and myself need to return to Canada to apply for the card of he can travel and apply on my behalf?

I will be doing the same. Unfortunately, I am not in Canada right now. I left in October a week after landing and have my re-entry planned for March 2015

IT is the same in the US too. The more you earn, the more is the tax ( lived 8 years in the US).

CIC sent out my card within 3 weeks of landing but it got lost in mail

rhcohen -- i had the same experience. Not sure where my card is. I believe it is lost. Do you know if we need to send all pr card documents and form to CIC again or just fill section G of the PR application?

No.. they don't care about your tickets. At the time of landing, they will just ask you for a canadian address to send the card, goods to follow document.
