Edit: I figured it out myself. Sorry!

Thanks.

PR is NOT nationality. She doesn't have any nationality other than Indian. I'm not too familiar with US visa forms but there must be a place (if not the main form, then a supplemental one) where she indicates her status in Canada (PR, student, worker, etc) and she would tick PR. I suggest you...

You don't need a company to file taxes...

Keep in mind, however, that Calgary summers are cool and it can snow at any time of the year. This isn't a big deal for most people but I like to have my seasons. Oh and where you land and where you live are unrelated. You can land at any border crossing or international airport in Canada, no...

This is an interesting post. Obviously, you've written it from an American POV, which may or may not be the same as the POV of someone from a third country. I'm from India and I find that your assertions carry a lot of truth in them. It's VERY difficult to make friends with Canadians. When I...

Does weather matter to you at all? Burlington has the warmest climate of the three (downside being hot and sticky summers). Regina has the most severe winters and Calgary has the coolest summers.

I'm not but one of the people I work with is one. What, specifically, do you want to know? Here's my 3 tips: Buy a home on high ground Buy warm clothing and bug spray Buy a home on high ground

All your documents, even what you think aren't important. Your ethnic clothes. Vegetable seeds, if you like gardening. Photo albums. Money. A list of important phone numbers, both in Toronto and in India. Tea leaves, if you drink tea. I struggle to find good quality tea in Canada. Certainly no...

Agreed. I have always avoided coming across as one of "these people" (besides, it's not in my personality to act like this) but I feel that most people assume I am going to behave this way just because of where I'm from, and so don't give me a chance to prove otherwise.

Or you could do like the rest of us who don't have the privilege of being from countries/states with such reciprocal arrangements and just take the road test.

I'm a new immigrant but I'm not new to Canada. I've spent all my adult life here (9 years and counting). When I first came to this small Prairie city from my native country of India, I thought "Wow, everyone is so nice and friendly and welcoming here!". In a few years, I realized that the...

And so ends the long wait :) A few days ago, I posted a question saying I had received the PPR with a 30 day deadline but I had travel plans already booked. I decided to have my cake and eat it too by making a last minute trip to Detroit. Actually, I stayed in Windsor and my visa-exempt wife...

My wife is from a U.S visa-exempt country but I am not. I am the principal applicant. Is there a way my wife can go to submit our passports for visa stamping at the Canadian Consulate? They do accept in person submission on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

No one dares to answer? :D Seriously, is four months plenty of time between passport sendoff and COPR expiry (in which case I should just go on my trip) or should I not take any chances and send them now?

I emailed the Canadian Consulate in charge of my application regarding this issue but got no reply. My CoPR expires in June. The deadline for sending passports is 2nd week of January but I am travelling until mid-February. That gives me two choices: cancel my trip (with heavy financial...

Here's my situation :( SINP application. Nominated last April, applied to CIC, got medicals done in June. Received a request for PCC with a 60 day deadline. However, due to the fact my passport was away for obtaining a visa (for a different country), and because my embassy is indicating a 6-8...
