Both the US and Canada like to know what is in your pocket ;) - but neither will take what isn't theirs

The simple answer is that you cannot be double taxed for your income on either side of the border - Canada has a tax treaty with the US

I'd call or have your spouse call CIC to clarify this... Usually they are only requesting your Passport - not additional photos.. If they in fact are requesting more photos, it would be specifically for your PR card printing in Nova Scotia..., and the instructions for that are very specific...

You'll probably be getting it soon! This is one thing that seems to happen with some reliability

You can do it entirely online - consent form scanned, signed by your spouse - submit via the ATIP portal - all relatively easy

We had the same situation.. They never addressed the differences. Blueish A4 Chinese paper, Canadian white letter size. And some signature pages differing in the quality of the print copy. My thought is that this is a relatively common, even if not perfectly desirable

..If they can handle the workload maybe Beijing is just dropping family class apps as Brian indicated

Sorry to hear.. Have you gotten your GMCS notes yet? I noticed sometime in the last couple of months that Hong Kong's processing time had jumped from 7 to 9 months. When my wife went for her interview in Dec., she said it appeared that Beijing was doing only 2 interviews per day, which seemed...

http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/faqs/what-does-gcms-stand-for-how-do-i-apply https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en it will include all the notes and info regarding the progress (or lack of) on your application file that the CIC decides to release..

Yeah - my bad. I assumed the medical coverage policy, cards, etc., were similar nation-wide :/

Your Medical services card (the newer photo one) should work as Photo ID - the only hitch when using it as such, is that information cannot be copied from it by the person(s) confirming your Identity...

Congratulations!

This was also on my wife's COPR - it appears to be typical.. they will have you state "No" and sign next to this statement and any other "conditions" on your COPR at landing

With Beijing, the AOR2 was sent to the applicant

It may be different with different offices, but with us we had to inquire about what was taking so long several times before finding out we were "waiting in the queue for an interview date" - then later they gave us 4 weeks notice before the actual interview date.

Last year, I claimed my wife (she resided in China) and put all zeros for the SIN - sometime after E-filing (no problem,) I received a letter from the CRA asking for clarification, and a number to call for this.., all was good then - this year she is here, and has a number.

The sponsorship portion of our application was accepted within the same timeframe as others, even tho my wife had a prior rejected visitor visa. Regarding the PR application of the sponsored spouse, it will be a red(ish) flag.., - opinions vary on this. Some say any visa rejection is a...

I'm sure it would be enlightening to know what comes from that feedback. The system really does need to always renew and change with technology and the 'times.' If not, it's not really serving those it's designed for.. With regard to keeping Sponsors and Applicants informed, a merging of GCMS...

Based on my experience of the notes during the application process, and a final report after PR approval, I feel they're (the notes) basically a carrot on a $5 string.. - Even tho I have repeatedly recommended to others to order them to get an idea of what (if anything) is happening beyond the...

Absolutely - Good Luck (which often does play a big part of some immigration success stories!) May you get the best visa officer(s) throughout the process. As with us, the one who looks beyond the point system, and has the eyes of a full-fledged human being 8)
