I can tell you from my experience, as long as you have no other issues your overstay should be ok. In my case I overstayed nearly eleven years, 5 of them married to my Canadian born husband. I was completely honest in my application listing the Canadian addresses we lived at during that time and...

No, I arrived in Buffalo at 8 a.m. with our passports to get the C.O.P.R. and the Visa put in our passports, got out of there around 10:50. It's like 7 minutes to the Canadian border from the consulate there in Buffalo. The landing process for four of us (me and my 3 children) took about 30 minutes.

;D I am happy to share with everyone my children and I landed yesterday around 11 a.m. We drove to Buffalo with passports, arrived at 8 a.m. and were landed by 11. The process was easy and the IO's were very polite and friendly. Kids will start school tomorrow and I will head to...

passport request received by email today!!!!! so flippin happy -- So for anyone else with American military background, there was no 6 month in--depth background check. myth busted. its been approximately 3 months. :P Hopefully driving to Buffalo next Thursday, will update on my landing.

well, not to make anybody unhappy or ill at ease but my husband (the sponsor) received the request to pay right of landing fee in November and I have yet to receive a passport request. we are applying outland Buffalo, and have had the interview waived and no further documents needed letters. So...

How did the IO 'know' that it would be over in a month? Are they privy to information that we are not?

oh heck yeah... we paid it like the very next day. hahaha not trying to waste ANY time!!!

congrats!! What an awesome time line. I have been watching your case as our has been almost the same in time line - through Buffalo, nov 19th received the notice that interview was waived and I also had to fax Ottawa for my sons medicals to be forwarded. Perhaps the fact that we waited to pay...

yay... our lawyer called today to say my husband has received the request for Right of Landing Fee. It feels nice to get some sort of contact. getting excited now!!

Ok so I got my husband to scan the letter and send me a copy of the initial assessment. all looks fine, no interview, no additional documents required... BUT lol isn't there always a but. on the medical section there is a X marked for myself and my daughter.... medical results have been...

oh, sorry. from what i understand, initial assessment is just that. they have looked at my file and concluded that at this point they dont think I will need to be interviewed... but I have been with my husband for 11 years and married since 2003 and we have a child together.

Yes, I am going through Buffalo. My medicals were done back in August ahead of time so I assume they were forwarded to Buffalo. So first day showing that Buffalo started processing was Oct. 30th (on ecas) and it said medicals have been received at that point. I used my husbands address for my...

yay, hubby in Canada received my AOR and the initial assessment today posted Nov. 11th. My interview has been waived. I suppose it all means nothing YET, but it sure feels good to get something. =)

I was visiting Canada at the time I sent off my FBI request. (I am a US citizen) We simply made an appointment at the Regional Police for fingerprinting. They did a scan and rolled prints. cost $30.00 We then did a cover letter and requested expedited service from FBI and it took about 2...

If you are using a representative, will they still send out confirmation letters to the clients or just to the lawyer?

My Canadian husbands application to sponsor was approved and our case sent to Buffalo. MY application for permanent residence shows up under HIS name on e-cas, but not mine. So just in case, you might want to check that. They started processing mine on Oct 30th.

Actually, there is no problem with custody as my ex husband, the father to the 3 children is deceased. I was actually told by a lawyer to NOT put the Canadian residences down which blew my mind because there's no way i can do that. Not to mention that every ounce of proof that I have to show we...

Ok, I know I am going to get blasted for this, but what's done is done and I can't change that. I am an American woman married to a Canadian man. I have 3 children from a previous marriage and share a child with my Canadian husband. My 3 children and I moved to Canada in 1998 and remained there...
