    Weekly commute to US after landing/importing vehicle?

    Makes sense...but will that allow me to commute/cross the border on a weekly basis with my vehicle until I decide to import it? I have a 4-month old son in Canada with my wife, so I don't intend to stay in the US for the next three months without crossing back over.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    So about the Buffalo trip... I arrived in Buffalo on Monday afternoon. Checked into the hotel (The Millenium, near the airport...adjacent to the Galleria, good eats nearby. Decent hotel, would stay there again). I had my GPS stolen recently, so I had a pile of printed maps ready to go. I...

    Weekly commute to US after landing/importing vehicle?

    Sorry guys and gals...if this is posted elsewhere, I would be happy to navigate over to it (I've searched for hours on here...I can't find anything similar...) Now that I have my visa, I intend to call it quits at my USA job and move to Canada for good (the USA job will not let me...

    Yes, it's hard to keep myself from staring at it all day long. :) I have started my post-landing list of things to do (mostly vehicle-related)...yet, as the list grows longer and longer, I find it hard to stress after realizing how much waiting and planning it took just to get to this point...

    I wanted to update everyone that I received my visa yesterday in Buffalo! When I get home from work tonight, I'll post my Buffalo experience. I can't believe this process is almost over! I may not be landing for a couple of months, due to work requirements...but my wife can't wait to see...

    Thanks for sharing your experiences...I'm leaving soon (from Ottawa) to drive toward the hotel in Buffalo. I'll be at the building by 6:30am tomorrow, in time for a quick Timmies coffee and to jump in line to get this part done and over with! It's only one hour to Rochester from Buffalo, so I...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Thanks for sharing your experience...I am scheduling myself to go this Tuesday (arriving in Buffalo on Monday for some Galleria shopping)...my only question is related to the time that you actually were able to leave the building with the PR. I have a meeting in Rochester at 1pm for work and...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I understand the frustration - I'm very thankful that my CIC process has been shorter than some others here on the boards. I guess I tend to think of my process starting early last year. We were married Feb of 2009, Medical Exam in April 2009 and our FBI request was out around that time - and...

    It was a long wait...it's finally our turn to finish this process! Good luck - I would expect any day now (probably a few days delayed if they mailed your PPR)

    An update on my file...I e-mailed Buffalo yesterday afternoon. I have never received confirmation that my RPRF receipt was received, so I wanted to make sure that it wasn't lost in the mail (Xpresspost sent it...it has never been signed for...so I faxed a copy to each office on August 18th)...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I've dealt with CBSA guards like that. One woman told me that "I made the choice to follow the wrong process" to file my application (I did NOT follow the wrong process - she was grossly misinformed about CIC's process and everything was done correctly on our end). I also travel across every...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I'm in the same situation as you. Buffalo started our files around the same time. Unfortunately, I just had another unnecessary delay...mailed my RPRF receipt by Xpresspost to Mississauga as requested in July. No signature. No confirmation of receipt. Nothing. This was in July. Canada...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I received a letter (my spouse did, in Canada) requesting the RPRF to be sent to Mississauga. There is a slip at the bottom of the letter that we needed to tear off and include with the online receipt. The letter also included the form needed to pay your fee at a financial institution, if you...
