I am a US citizen that immigrated to Canada in 2011. It took a year and 1 month from beginning to end. It can vary depending on what visa office your app gets sent to. US citizens seem to think they can come to Canada and work and live permanently without going through the process and it's...

Hello Good information sharing here! I would like to give you some reality here as well. Please don't take this as me trying to bring you all down but take it as me trying to prepare you all for a a very possible reality. I immigrated as a FSW LPN from USA Nov. of 2011. I had my registration...

Lies,lies,lies and more lies! I don't know of anywhere in Canada that is sponsoring right now. This so called attorney is after your $$$$ that is all! If she is a RN she can apply and you can be accompanying spouse. It's not easy! In order to work here as a nurse her credentials/education...

Just wanted to mention to you that if it is both you and your spouse personal belongings on a B4 both of you must be present to clear it and have proof of status of both of you ie passport and proof of PR/citizenship. Both my husband and I went to clear our things. The B4 was in my name. The...

Garian, We had cellphone service through AT&T. We did sign up for Telus initially but what a hassle. They wanted deposits for both phones Plus they had no plan for calling the US at least to our satisfaction! They asked how many mins you think you would be calling and for up to those mins...

Hello Garian will try to answer a few of your?? For you. You can get a bank draft in US dollars we did with no issues to prove funds. As for the SIN card you do not need actual card. When you go to apply for card they print out right then a paper that they will sign and it has your number on...

I see your VO is Buffalo so I am assuming your in the states? We used ABF U pack and packed our things in their cube. They cross over the border with your goods to follow list. They call you when its at their warehouse. You can store it also at their warehouse for a monthly fee of course...

Well we landed in Nov 2010. My husband until now has not gotten his PR card! He has called at least 4 times now the CIC call center. Each time he calls its "there is a problem with your name" they will not say anything more. My husband is from India originally. His passport has just one...

You could also try State Farm as they are also in the states. We had our car insurance from them and we just transferred it over. I was really afraid it would be really expensive as that is what I have read here but it is just a little over what we paid in the states.

They should do this! Since moving here I have seen several documentaries about what I would call marriage fraud. And the spouse who is sponsoring is stuck paying for the person who is committing the fraud! One of the documentaries had a Canadian woman who was trying to fight it in court to...

I got my PR card rather quickly but my husband no such luck! We landed Nov 2010! He has called the number several times and it's always the same story "it's almost ready". So for him it's over 90 days. I was principal applicant and he was dependent. They do not say anything about photos though

You are not charged for Ca numbers as it's a N American plan. If you have a US address OR an existing account you can do it. Do paperless billing. We still have a home in US plus a bank account so it comes out automatic every month. For 2 phones it's 80 dollars with roll over mins plus we...

I admire your determination! Congrats to you!

Ok this was a MAJOR thorn in our side when we landed here. I will add because I don't think it was mentioned they also charge you a "cap" meaning you can only spend x amount of dollars if you go over they shut the service off plus you give a deposit $200! Because being new here you have no...

I don't know what province your in but here in Alberta we did not do an application. We went to Service Canada in person and the nice lady there did it all on the computer and printed out our numbers.

My husband bought a 2010 ford truck shortly after we landed with no Canadian credit. We live in Alberta. He paid 5000 down. Toyota denied him. Credit is not carried over here your right! Even US credit doesn't matter here. I know Kia also has new immigrant program as well.

Alberta accepted our licenses from the US with no issue. I had just renewed my license so it did not show how long I had it for as renewal date was the same month. I had the printout from the DMV and they accepted it as proof. If I had not had that most likely they would have had to consider...

It's my opinion that it's not going to cause admissibility. They are looking for communicable diseases for the most part I think.

Thanks for your input. I actually called to check and they said it's not ready yet. I was surprised that I got mine so quickly as we landed the end of Nov.

I received my PR card yesterday!! But my husband who was the dependant did not. A little confused as to why he did not receive his?? Or is this the way it is usually done? Those who have gotten their card please share your experience. Thanks!
