Nicely written Cchalbert. It sounds like a pleasant experience. My I-94 was detached initially but it was returned because I was returning back to US within 30 days.

This should be a no brainer ;D

You are right. I was told to bring insurance record from US for better rates. Driving history for driver license. I am not sure about health history for SIN, I believe it is not relevant atleast no one asked me about it for getting a SIN number. Credit history is something I too have questions...

Thanks Nix1 and Magic hand. I was in NW part of Calgary. Opened a bank account but since it was Saturday I couldn't get the Health cards. Perhaps next time. Meanwhile, my experience coming back to Chicago from Calgary wasn't good. I have to say, border security was really strict and had lots of...

Hello Nix, What did you have to do to get your Health cards. The ppl over there told me to show residency proof in Alberta some sort of bank statment and utility bill. Please tell me what you did in that regards. Also, how long did it take to get your PR cards. They said 6 weeks but its a long...

Hello there, I am in Calgary at the moment. Somewhat reminds of Oklahoma in terms of landscape. So here my story. I took my passport to Buffalo office and they stamped the PR visa in 1 hr (can you believe that). The next day I was in Calgary. Had all my stuff packed aready and so far so good...

Thank you. The email has a deadline of Jan 15th 2010 for passports. I was outside the country and planning on returning after Christmas. I will take care of it by going to the consulate myself....

Hello every one! I have couple of questions. I got an email requesting passports 2 months ago but until now I havent received any postal mail. I had already sent my landing fee when it wasn't raised. The email I received does not mention anything about increased fee. So should I just submit the...

wow.. haha . This is hilarious. I didn't expect this over here.

Congrats despo, H-1B stamping is not mandatory unless you leave the country so I don't think they can ask you why you did't go home in last 8 yrs. As long as there are no questionable doubts in your status they don't really care whether its last 8 yrs or 4 yrs. Regards

Thank you DNA. Sorry, I am not an active member over here but this forum has been really helpful during the whole application process. I still haven't received the letter from CIC just the email so I am assuming it should be good enough. I am in my 5th year of H-1B. I never went for stamping...

I am similar timeline and I received email for passport request on 16th. No official letter yet. However, the email mentions the deadline for submission is Jan 16 2010 so thats little more then 60 days. Since I am overseas I believe I can do it in November or December. Does anyone know if we can...

Ohh wow I thought I was having a long wait but this is crazy. Here are my time lines. At first I thought it was longer for ppl from certain countries but it seems its common for all applications going to Buffalo. What a shame. Good thing is that I am not in a rush atleast for now Btw: what...

You are right. I been tracking myself on another forum but I have similar issue with Buffalo. They requested something from me which I had already sent to them initially. I thought it was done to buy additional time because I had sent them an email but no body replied to it. I did mail them the...

I have the same issue. Medicals were sent but there is a big check mark on it. Don't know why??? I think it means they were already provided because the cross is not on the side rather on the whole line (my assumption). Also for the requested information there is a tick mark like nike swoosh...

Thank you Governor. I applied last yr when they had a prescreening process back in November 08. I received the ANIP file number in Dec and by Feb I got the ANIP approval so I would say it took 2 after receiving file number and 3 months from scratch. FBI clearance is quick too within US (less...

I am applying for Buffalo office and nominated under Alberta program. I need to know what currency to pay the initial application fee. Can I pay in US dollars. Buffalo website says I can but the documents I received says canadian dollars only. Regardless I am having a hard time getting cashier...
