Ah, I knew it. I haven't been able to find a place that does prepaid credit cards over $500 - without a delay of several weeks. We're moving next week and I'd like to get this taken care of so I can have the receipt when I go to cross the border to update my status from temporary foreign worker...

Hey guys, There may be a very simple answer to this question (if it's what I'm thinking), but I figure it's worth asking... I have most of my application assembled, but not submitted. I was under the impression that you could pay your PR fees before submitting your application, so I thought...

Hey guys, quick question: I am a US citizen applying for my PR card outland. My wife (a Canadian citizen) has a 4 year old daughter (also a Canadian citizen). Do I need to include the daughter's passport info and fill out all the forms for her? I haven't adopted her yet, so I am a...

Hey all, Filling out IMM 5708 to change my status from temporary worker to visitor while I file for my outland PR (from the US). Since I can't work while waiting (moving to BC from AB, don't have an LMO for a job yet), my wife will be supporting me. The problem is, she is a server/bartender...

Thanks for your answers. Is it a bad decision to request a visitor visa for a year, if I specify that I'm waiting on my PR app?

On form IMM 5708, under DETAILS OF VISIT TO CANADA, it asks for reason and I chose "Other" and put "staying with spouse while filing for spousal sponsorship PR." It also asks how long I plan to stay. Am I likely to have my application rejected if I request a year? Would putting 6 months increase...

Hey, quick question: I'm on a temporary work permit that expires in May, but my wife and I are planning on filing for my PR (spousal sponsorship). I'm from the US, do I need to apply to extend my stay/change my status? I'll be filing outland, as I'll be traveling to the US occasionally in the...

This all makes so much more sense now, thank you. I also learned there is a difference between a visitor record and visitor visa. The internet is such an informative place! Now I've got to get to work assembling all this crap. I'm sure I'll be back researching and asking many, many more...

Gotcha. And to be honest, WI only hates OH when you beat us! I'm a bit preoccupied with the Nexus card/visitor visa because I have two times I need to cross the border in the near future: at the end of May and in July. Both times I'll be out of Canada for a week or less, but my work permit...

Thanks everybody for your great responses! I know it's a total amateur question, but what does "landing" mean? I've seen it mentioned a number of times, but couldn't find a clear definition. It seems like outland is the way to go, especially since it there's the possibility that I might be...

First of all, this forum is great. Lots of good information and helpful people. It's been a huge help for me! Anyway, here's my situation - hopefully you all can give me some insight in to the best course of action. My wife, daughter and I currently live and work in Alberta and we are...

Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it! I am of the understanding that once we begin the application for inland spousal sponsorship I will be unable to leave the country, is this true? My sister is getting married in July in the US and I don't want to miss it - is it possible...

Hey all, I've been doing a fair amount of research, but this being the internet, I thought I'd just ask my question in a free public forum. :D Anyway, I'm an American citizen currently living and working in Canada under a temporary work permit. I'm married to a Canadian citizen (for a...
