OK I think I have answered some of my own questions. I called the border and they told me that as a non-resident of Canada and a US citizen, I may enter Canada to visit with only my US passport. So that will allow me to visit my family in Canada this summer. As far as receiving a replacement...

I am a US citizen. I applied for PR in the family class (my husband is a Canadian citizen) in 2010 and landed in Feb 2011. Then we moved together to the US in Nov 2012. My understanding is that I may maintain my PR status indefinitely while living abroad with my husband because he is a Canadian...

I am a US citizen with Canadian PR and I cross the border frequently. I haven't been given a hard time by either side since I got my PR card. When I cross into Canada, I hand the agent my US passport and Canadian PR card together. I've never been questioned beyond the usual about how long I...

I landed with my PR in Quebec in February 2011 and have lived here since then. My husband has been in Quebec for the last 2 years already and working for his own small business. In January 2012 we are expecting a baby. ;D I will pay taxes to Quebec for the first time for 2011 (to be filed in...

Your visa will have an expiration date on it. You just have to do it sometime before then. Mine was good for several months.

Thank you PMM. I want to mention that I called the US export office where I will be exporting it and they do not accept faxes, they require everything to be FedExed or hand-delivered.... maybe it varies office to office. I spoke with the actual guy sitting in that office in Vermont at the...

I am ready to land with my PR visa this weekend. Is it possible for me to import my car a couple of weeks later as "goods to follow"? How do I do this, just put it on my list of goods to follow? Is there anything else I need to know about how to do this? Is it as simple as just making a list...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm in the process of immigrating in the family class, so hoping one of you can help me. I was recently issued my PR visa and I am planning to land officially in Canada in January. I also have a temporary work permit so I live in Canada but...

thanks for the info you two....very nice! ;)

I was under the impression that as long as you remain with your sponsor, the two of you can live together anywhere in the world you you retain your PR status. Is this incorrect? I don't know where I heard this....

I just got mine back from NYC. It took about a month, but I sent it regular Canada Post there and they sent it regular US mail back (I'm already in Canada as a visitor), so probably 1-2 weeks of that was spent in the mail.

:D I got my passport back in the mail today with my very shiny and impressive-looking immigrant visa. I am so excited!!! It's finally over! We did it! And I have to say, after what was a very long, sometimes seemingly unnecessarily intrusive and highly inconvenient process, the letter I got...

We're in Quebec. I am not so concerned about registering and inspecting the car though....my husband has been through that before. I'm more confused about importing it when I land. Thanks!!!!!

I sent my passport off to NYC a couple of weeks ago and I'm hoping that I'll receive my PR visa in the mail in the next few days. I'm actually living in Canada now with a temporary resident visa (work permit) and I've brought all my worldly belongings from the US into Canada previously except...

Hi, My app. was transferred from Buffalo to NYC and I sent my passport to NYC on Sept. 21 following an emailed passport request. Just curious about how long I can expect it to take? Anyone send theirs to NYC recently? Thanks! AB

Thanks for your kind words everyone, I am annoyed with this because I need my passport to travel for work but I should also count myself lucky that my PR application went smoothly and I'm almost done!!!! :D Onthemove, my PPR letter said that I have 60 days to send in my passport. I am not sure...

I've received the request to mail in my passport to the consulate in NYC. I travel between the US and Canada frequently for work and I am going to have a hard time parting with my passport for the 30 days they say they will take to get it back to me with a visa... not only because I need to...

Please help, I am hopelessly confused!! The facts: I am a US citizen. At the end of last year my husband and I moved to Quebec. I continued to work for my US employer remotely (will salary and benefits) from Quebec, and I was issued a visitor record. In March my husband and I put in an...

We (my sponsor and I) each wrote narratives to go with our applications. Mine spread over several lengthy answers to the various questions about the progression of our relationship in form IMM5490. My sponsor's was an attachment to the form IMM5540, where at the bottom it asks to attach any...

thank you so much, Leon and others, this is exactly what I needed to know.
