Hi Everyone, We are waifs and strays, who fell thru the cracks somewhere between L.A. and Ottawa. . . . . But we just got a mysteriously worded and informal-ish passport request from CPP-Ottawa. This is what happened to us: • Application for my son submitted June 2012 • Forwarded to L.A...

Thanks so much for the help!! :-* They just wrote me back a moment ago and said, "You can scan it and send it by email." So, okay! Can do! Doing it now. Fingers crossed. ;D

Hi All: Can anyone please give us a hand, with a rush passport-request info for the Ottawa Pilot Case-Processing Center? We've heard from Ottawa via email this week that there was some sort of mixup, and that we were supposed to have received a PPR months ago, back in February. Yesterday they...

HOLY. FREAKING. MOLY. Seriously. Did this ever happen to anyone else? We've been waiting since last September to hear something (anything!) about our son's PR application. We were told it had been sent to L.A. Well, today, i got a SURPRISE!! email from the Ottawa-Pilot -- apparently the file...

Hello Computergeek! Yes, thank you so much: He has his health-care card. That part was easy. ;D Do they notify people when applications go to CPP-O? I don't know anything about CPP-O. I did wonder why the application went to L.A., instead of New York. My own application in 2010 went thru...

Thanks, Shanmba1174. I will do that right now. best, Bonacker

Hi All, I'm a permanent resident of Canada (a U.S. citizen), married to a Canadian citizen. I'm sponsoring my son, family class. We all live in Nova Scotia. My son's complete application went to Mississauga a year ago. They transferred it to L.A. last August. We got a letter last September...

Thank you, Parker24! :D I've been pretty non-stressed about it. (Not like the first time around, when I was waiting for my own residency. I kind of figure: A three year old child? It's going to eventually work out, ya know?)

Hi All, I'm a permanent resident of Canada, sponsoring a dependent child. My son's file went to Los Angeles in September. (Not sure why L.A. I'm originally from New York, and that is still my son's legal residence, as we await news on his residence status. He's only three years old, but...

Hi All, I know the new IMM 1344 is available online, but I'm unable to download it from CIC today. (Yes, my Adobe is up-to-date; it's just some glitch.) Could anyone please, just as a kindness to a stranger, post the PDF of IMM 1344 here, as a reply? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D THANK YOU SO...

Re: Okay, here's a challenge: Anyone got a clue...?? Since my son will already be a U.S. citizen by the time we cross the border back into Canada, I suspect that he would not be sponsored via the usual "international adoption" routes, but via whatever process would be used for any child who is...

Okay, here's the somewhat confusing situation: My husband is a Canadian citizen. I am an American citizen. He sponsored me and our daughter (family class / spouse) last year, and we landed as PRs in December. We have just adopted a baby from Ethiopia. (We won't be able to bring him home from...

They turned mine around quickly. Eleven business days after they received it, they put it back in the mail for me. (Maybe the mail is just slower, this close to Xmas?)

I've landed, by the way. ;D ;D ;D Locally, in Halifax, with an appointment. GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!

Yes, I guess I'll do the same....

Thanks, I kind of had the same thought, actually. ;D But then I think there is kind of a big difference between the two types of landing: There won't be a customs agent at the Halifax CIC office. Just the CIC worker (I don't even think it's technically a border agent). So I can't actually...

AroundTown: Those are the instructions for people landing at the border, landing in the traditional manner, coming from abroad to enter Canada. I'm not "landing," I'm faux-landing by using the newer process of having an in-country landing appointment at my local CIC office in Halifax. As far as...

Anyone had any experience with "local" landing, in-country, via appointment? Anyone, anyone? ;D

Hi y'all, Instead of leaving the country to land, on Wednesday morning, I have my "landing" appointment in Halifax. (I've been in-country on a visitor's visa.) What do I do about my "personal effects" (that are back home in the States and will need to be brought into the country at a later...

Mailed it from Canada. (It took nine days to get from NYC via US Postal Service back to us in Nova Scotia.)
