I just wanted to say, thank you everyone for your support and best of luck to all of you and may you have a wonderful life in Canada! I won't have much time to log onto these forums in the future, so I just wanted to say goodbye and take care :)

Thanks Kerianne, hope it's your turn soon, too :) We crossed at Blaine because we have a joint bank account at Bank of America, and wanted to go to the branch there :P No other real reason, other than us wanting to see the new buildings in Blaine (I haven't had time to cross at all in the past...

I would say it was just a little less euphoric than our wedding day, but pretty close :)

Just wanted to report that even after Canada Post briefly lost his passport, my husband got it yesterday and also landed yesterday. The letter that we had sent to Buffalo with the passport concerning the fact that we were about to be married (on August 21, while the passport was still in...

I would have preferred not to use Canada Post but the instructions for the passport request tell you to use Xpresspost, so I felt I had no choice. Oh well, hopefully they find the passport quickly because I seriously cannot wait to have everything done!

Well, we didn't get the passport back today (5th business day) and so we called Canada Post... they are not able to confirm its current location and they put an urgent flag on the order and promised us it would be found and delivered to us as soon as possible :( I'm sure we will get it in the...

Thanks for the advice - I should not have assumed that a refund would not be possible. Like I said before, it may seem silly that I'm frustrated over $75 when the hard part is over, but the thing is, I work for the government myself and it was already their fault that we couldn't file our...

Thanks for the help! Now that I know a refund is possible, I guess I will just do the online extension form today. There is really no difference between using that, or mailing the paper form, right? It doesn't look like there is any particular advantage to either of them?

My American husband is in a unique situation: we received his passport request from Buffalo on 06/08/2010 (by email) and using Canada Post's express mail tracking, we know that the passport is on its way back - but it's later than expected - it left Fort Erie on 24/08/2010 and should have...

Good luck, I'm sure you will be approved soon too :)

Call 18002067218 and select option 3 for SIN inquiries. I'm pretty sure that if you have extended your work permit, you will be fine to have the SIN expiry renewed/extended.

Thanks for the support everyone :) The weird thing is, we think my fiance's medical is expired (we're not sure, we can't find the photocopy of it) since we were pretty sure he had it done in early August 2009, but there has been no mention at all of a new medical being required. I assume they...

I really don't think there is any other option but to send a letter, but I still won't feel "safe" until landing is done!

So my common-law spouse (outland application) got his passport request yesterday (August 5) by email from Buffalo - great news, right? Well, we noticed on the "Instructions for family members" it says not to submit the passport if their status will change before landing. In our application, we...

We got our passport request today, and we just realized that the medical runs out in less than 2 weeks. The passport request (from Buffalo) states that we need to submit the passport ASAP, and that it will be returned within 3 weeks, but it has no reference at all to the medical. I guess I just...

Today we received our passport request from Buffalo! Finally :) And Ecas still shows "in process"... but no surprise there, I guess.

Have a look at this thread and what I (and others) wrote there, if you haven't already: canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/visitng-canada-til-pr-is-approved-and-extending-visit-t43038.0.html My fiance is from Florida as well, and we flew to Seattle together, then drove up to...

Yes, we did receive the AOR and I got a letter from Buffalo on June 21 advising that on June 16 they started processing.

Updated today, as you predicted: We started processing your application on June 16, 2010. Medical results have been received.

Found out today that our application was transferred to Buffalo and started processing there on June 16; however, no update on Ecas.
