Hi EricParker, I'm landing 3 days after you!!! Only I'm landing in TO not Vancouver. I have the same list of things with as you do, the only expections are as follows: I filled out a B4 and B4A form. I called Canada Border Services and asked about that. Just to be safe, we're also taking with a...

Hey, we had IKEA mattresses and we had also decided not to buy new ones! Good thing too! There is one baby mattress that went into the container. If that's a problem I guess they can throw it out. It's not that big of a deal. The packing was finished last week already. IT was a LOT OF WORK...

Hi, We are arriving in Canada together so the 'goods to follow list' that I"ll give to the immigration officials will be from both of us. However, I (Canadian) have to pay taxes on items over a $10000, and also on items that are newer than 6 months. That is not the case for my husband. So we'll...

I also don't know what Nairobi does, but through Berlin, if your passport has been requested you are done! Your approval letter comes with the stamped passport.

I understand your logic, but then obviously the qualifications for cohabitations difer between Mississaugua & the embassies.

Hey, I just wrote you on Trackitt, and now I realise that you're not sending your passport yet. I also wouldn't...whats a few more days after all. Still, the time it took to come back was completely reasonable. And aangetekend doesn't work internationally for many countries, but it does work for...

Hi, Í am kicking myself now, but we did not send a prepaid envelope with. We sent the passport with registered mail, and I just noticed that it hasn't arrived yet. I don't understand how this can be! So I guess they will be sending it back with regular mail... How stupid could we be!

Hey, I did get passport request last week! Now we sent the passport up and I'm just waiting for it to get back. It's a bit of a tricky situation because we hope to fly on Dec 21 and obviously we need the passport by then. I'm seriously hoping that 3 weeks should do it ... By the way, amsyul...

Besides which, you may be desperately in a hurry to get to work and study, but there ain't no hurrying happening when you apply for PR! It's all about the wait ;)

Thanks amsyul. So its up to him whether his 'unregisters' (uitschijven) or not. If he stays registered, he keeps his health insurance. Interesting to know that you are officially 'uitgeschreven' though.

thanks guys, for the information. About him staying in Canada, I realise he can be in Canada during the waiting period. The question is actually whether he should officially leave the Netherlands, or if he should maintain his official residence here. In NL you are an official resident of a...

2 questions: 1. What is checked in the 'background check'? 2. My husband would like to wait in Canada with me for his PR to get approved. Does he have to stay registered in his country now (the Netherlands) or can he inform the municipality that he is moving? Or would this have consequences for...

The R # is your receipt number. The C # is your client ID numbe whiich you will get on your sponsorship approval letter.

I have a question to add on to Whoopi83's question: You're supposed to fill in a value for goods, but just like Woopi83, a lot of my stuff has no value. We'd probably have to pay someone to take it off our hands!! How stick are immigration officers about the ' value ' column?

If he's applying outland, which I'm assuming he's doing if he's going to her in Guatamala, he can certainly leave! I don't live in Canada...

Courtneyls, sounds like you have encountered the most miserable civil servants Canada has to offer! And now of course you have to wait for the marriage certificate to get back too. On the other hand, I'm not sure hiring a lawyer is going to help you. The immigration procedings are fairly...

Hey Toby, Maybe there have been easier times, but immigrating has always been a crazy process. When my father immigrated in the 1950s he was only allowed to take 50 gulders with him. The rest of his money he had to leave. He just spent all the money on clothes, linens, etc. and packed 2 huge...

So you obviously called them to make the address change. Did you have to do it that way? I kind of thought it had to be done over the internet?

non-official documents don't have to be certified ... translate them yourself!

rjessome...you took the words right outta my mouth...
