I know this isn't exactly immigration related but this where I always receive the most help. Hubby and I are looking for flights to travel back to my home in the US lately. One of the cheapest was offering to fly through Pearson (which we both haven't done). How long would we need to get...

Vegreville received our application filled with hopes and dreams. Also, came along lots of nerves and worries. But I am so blessed to say that a year after we sent it off that I have been a PR for almost 2 months. This is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I can't thank Canada enough and...

Is it possible for me to travel home without my PR card? I need to go home soon as my mom's health seems to be more of a safety risk to her these days and she lives alone so I would feel much better if I could be there for a while to care for her. I am just concerned about being able to return...

I am know this isn't necessarily portrayed as an immigration question but I figured this may be just the right place to ask this question and get some helpful responses. Please bare with me. Well as you all know with immigration comes being miles away from people, whether that be spouses...

I am a bit concerned and have been reading previous posts of those that have landed inland. Well I landed yesterday and the only document to verify of this that I was given was Confirmation of Permanent Residence aka COPR. However, most that I have read were also given a stamp in their passport...

I will be landing tomorrow/today depending on your time soon. Anyway, I do not have a list of goods to claim upon "entry" but I do however want to at a later time, bring things from home. Which form do I use for "Goods to Follow" and how would I fill it out? Also, I do not know of all the...

Got an email from the e-Cas tracker this morning letting me know that e-Cas had been updated. It let me know I got "Decision Made" on May 20, 2011 which is only two days after my AIP approval that I got on May 18, 2011. Now only waiting for a PR landing interview date! Yay, I just can't express...

I have talked to several people and it doesn't just seem to be on my computer or hubby's. Seems like the incidence is you're able to put in your identification number and last name but cannot click on the drop down selections. Anyone having these same issues? I am thinking that if everyone is...

Sorry for posting another thread but I discovered something that may be beneficial when traveling the border again. They have proposed certain changes such as closed border locations and reduced hours at others. It became effective today April 1, 2011. If this is permanent I am not sure but I...

So my question is what do inland applicant's need to do to be able bring goods from home duty free when they become a PR? Now I do know of the B4 and the B4A form. It wouldn't be really a problem to bring that to the local CIC when it is my time to land but how would you list the goods or serial...

I was talking with a friend tonight and I have considered importing/exporting my truck from my home in the US into Canada. I have been reading up on the RIV, Transport Canada, and CBSA site but still have a bit of confusion about all of this. I guess I am just trying to figure out the proper...

Hello there everyone! So it has come to discussion many times recently asking how to post images here. Often times it is hard to describe it. I figure most people learn faster on visualization so for all of your benefits, I screen-capped the steps you can take to post an image on here if ever...

** I did ask this in another part of the forum in the tax part but it seems pretty vacant there. Hoping I can get more help here** P.S. Sorry for posting many threads today. :-[ I am not yet a PR and do not have AIP yet. However, I am a resident of Canada for tax purposes. I am filing a tax...

I am not yet a PR not have AIP yet. However, I am a resident of Canada for tax purposes. I am filing a tax return this year so that hubby is entitled to GST and Working Income Tax Benefit. I am just curious as to which address I mail my tax return to. Would it be this address: International...

I know I have not been approved yet but it is something that hubby and I have discussed before. At this moment we are still undecided as to what we will do. Keeping just PR status or applying for citizenship both have pros and cons. But how you decide which you would rather have when that time...

I was just made aware that those that apply inland through Quebec receive a client ID for the sponsor on the letter for CSQ (I believe that is what is called) and they are able to see information on ECAS through that as well. Could my sponsor, even though he isn't a Quebec resident, still...

Hubby and I still need to file our taxes to CRA. Last year we used H&R Block and throughout the year ran into issues all because they didn't do well filing it but it was our first time putting me on his return as well so we were afraid to do it alone thinking they would do better. Hubby still...

I know I am an American and maybe shouldn't be saying this but I do think the US needs to step off their high horse for a bit. They really need to be their own country and not try to tell other countries how to rule themselves. I think before long we won't be able to even travel back and forth...

I posted this on another forum but I wasn't getting any responses there. Hoping I have better luck here. Hi there, so as most US citizens I have waited my whole life to turn 21. I obviously did not ever invision that I would be in another country though. Well it will almost be 2 years on March...

Sorry for having another thread by me but I have another question. I should only have about 2 and a half months or so until I hear some news about AIP (hopefully it is good). I was looking into volunteering to help pass the next couple of months by quickly, to build friendships, and get some...
