    That's weird. We got her SIN then brought that and her passport to open her account. We used TD. She applied for a credit card to build her credit and we find out tomorrow. Everything is going smoothly...but we haven't changed her driver's license or applied for a health card yet so I'm thinking...

    My wife officially landed today at the Peace Bridge. No problems. Monday is SIN and bank account day. On a side note. My wife was surprised at the vast difference in countries encountered by just crossing a bridge. It didn't help that one of the stops was a Wal Mart in a run down part of...

    I was upset over the Habs loss, thinking my life is in the crapper and all of a sudden my wife gets a call from the embassy in Manila. Her visa is being sent today and he said should arrive in Canada in 5-7 days! He told us her medical expires on the 29th so we have to land before that. No...

    I'm thinking no. It's been two weeks since I emailed about my wife's address and still nothing.

    So my wife was able to enter Canada to "visit" me on a one way ticket. The officer didn't even ask for a return ticket or check her file. I just said she was in the final stages of her application and will officially land soon. I doubt she understood the process because she asked why my wife...

    Maybe they changed the pay structure from salary to piece work. :D They haven't been too efficient updating my wife's mailing address. It's been over 10 days since I put in the request and still nothing.

    Congrats! That is amazing news. Sadly it took too long and you lost a lot of time. The whole process is so secretive and non informative. Their policy is "don't worry we have everything under control so no need to be kept up to date". But in reality they are incompetent and don't care about us...

    Thanks. Does anyone know of someone who was refused entry? I read that airlines are more likely to stop someone and make them buy a ticket before departure. That's better than being refused at the POE but still a hassle.

    Will my wife (from visa exempt country) have trouble entering Canada with a one way ticket? She's in the final stages (I think as she sent appendix a form in last month). I'll be with her and she will have about $10,000 with her plus she has ties to Japan (bank account, etc). I stupidly bought...

    Sponsoring Korean Wife Outland, questions, please help!

    I didn't need an Option C as I have been out of canada for 8 years. I simply provided proof of my savings, investments, employment in Japan as well as a detailed explanation of my plans to resettle. As long as you have decent savings and a place in canada (family, friend) where you can live if...

    It cost over $2000 9 years ago to get my wisdom teeth removed (4) but insurance paid 100% so it was ok. A bit of a side rant here but what annoys me about Canada's health care system is that dental, vision, prescription drugs and a bunch of other things aren't covered (of course it depends on...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    So I'm moving back to Canada on September 10th and my Japanese wife is going to "visit" me to wait out her visa. When they send the COPR I understand we will have to drive to the US and back to officially land. Can someone explain the process and if there are any difficulties? I'm asking in the...

    So my wife and I have finalized the day we will leave Japan and head back to Canada. September 10th. Her visa isn't issued yet but we already sent in the Appendix A form so she will be "visiting" me until she gets her visa. My question is in regards to where the COPR will be sent. If I change...

    Sports are important. Family isn't. That's the society we live in. Everyone is treated equally (read: we are all criminals who want to commit marriage fraud so no matter how legitimate our marriage is we have to wait and wait and beg and beg) until someone who can win a medal in some BS...
