Took 2 to 3 months about a year back - not sure if it's the same now.

Rental cars: Use hotwire.com I got car for 4 days @ CA$ 90 for the period. Am really surprised that there's a town in Alberta with no home postal address or post service ! What place is this?

Goods to follow list will be stamped and returned to you so that you can import those without having to pay duty. It is a transfer of residence benefit given to PRs for the first time. Not to worry - I guess there will be another way for you to get that benefit. Check with Canada customs on the...

They will not take I94 away and you can never have an expired I94 unless you stay back in US illegally. The latest I94 will be in your latest I797 document in case the one in your passport is "expired". You should always have an I94 in the passport after u enter US - they will replace the old...

Hey, please see my notes: 1. Either that or a print out of your full bank statement/s (I took 3 months') 2. Yes, pls refer to CIC web page for the list of amounts by family size. ensure your balances in total comes to that. 3. No need to carry any cash except for your immediate need. Bank...

This applies to folks who are applying for a new card from within Canada - it does not apply for fresh immigrants wanting to get their first PR card : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-how.asp "If you are applying to immigrate to Canada, you do not need to apply for a card...

So what is the proof that we need to offer to CIC to establish we were in Canada for 730 days? This is especially difficult when we are staying with a friend and not having a job for the initial few months. Passport is not stamped when you exit Canada (or when you re-enter US) even when you...

I mailed it while in Canada. All the required info is available as soon as you receive your COPRs. My suggestion to all who are intending to land soon is to fill and take it with you and mail/fax when you are in Canada. In case you're wondering what this is, this is a one page doc that we recd...

Ask your Edmonton friend to send you the PR cards when he receives them. If you are not planning to return to Canada within 2 months, you can wait for PRs to reach you and then travel. If you however need to travel before you receive PR cards, then road is the only way to enter without applying...

"Goods to Follow". The goods sent thru movers are not being imported by you at the time you land. They are to be cleared by you after you land.

Your US immigration will be done in Calgary and not in US port of entry. Have all papers ready as for H1B stamping. Print out the AVR telegram and memo. More important, ensure you have the I94 from the new 797 with you when you return from Calgary - so do not surrender any I94 while flying out...

bibo, your questions are confusing - from Canada are you intending to fly to home country or to US? Is your question about stamping H1B in your home country?

yes, you can do it in half-a-day and require only COPR, local address, and passport. Go to Harry Hay's bldg in downtown for SIN card first and then walk to Licensing company in Bowsquare IV bldg (3 blocks) for healthcards. You may even have time to go up the Calgary Tower ! Do the research and...

Hi all, I completed landing in Calgary (by air) last week and all went smooth. My experience was similar to that of EllBee's. I drove to downtown and got SIN # and Healthcard numbers the same day. The steps mentioned in various earlier posts on this thread are good pointers to prepare. List for...

I suggest you send a copy of the Fed Tax Return that you filed plus the W2 form for all years. If you want check this link: http://www.irs.gov/faqs/content/0,,id=199822,00.html Don't know what you mean by "visa copy" - visas are not good proof of continuity of legal stay in US. You should...

Hi! Did you have to give photos for PR using the new size regulations? I see a number of folks who are having a horrid delay in getting their PRs becoz of the photos - they are being asked to submit new photos in person after a couple of months after landing... Cheers.

Re: Successfully completed Landing At Calgary Hi philly, Thanks for your post. Did your wife surrender her I94 when departing US and get a new one when landing in US? And where did your US immigration happen - in Calgary airport or in US port of entry? Cheers!

My case was processed in LA, but the photo reqt is uniform across all consulates: There was no requirement for the photos to be notated at the back. I however placed the initials on the reverse so that it will be easier for them to know whos' who! I suggest you write the names (very softly...
