Another question for everyone. I stayed in Canada as a tourist (January 2015) until I received my PR (april 2015). I did not work in the US for the 2015 taxable year, but started working in Canada in Aug 2015. Am I even eligible to fill out the 2555-EZ form? and if not...is the only form I...

Thank you CDNPR2014! I appreciate the info!!!

Hi Everyone! This is the first time I'm filing taxes after getting PR and marrying my Canadian husband. Since getting my PR I've been working part time and also going to University part time. My husband is basically the sole breadwinner right now, and my income is well under $10,000 for the...

Any one have any thoughts?

Hello Everyone! I'm American and I'm about to officially land via plane with my CoPR in a few days. I will be submitting two B4 forms with my list of goods accompanying and the other goods to follow. I plan on driving across the border with my goods to follow most likely next spring...

After getting approved for CoPR they will either choose your one year expiration date of your medical exam or the expiration date of your passport as your "land before this date." I received CoPR in April 2015 my medical was done in June 2014 and my passport expiration date is March 2016. They...

I'm also going to suggest you apply for outland. The whole process took about 8months for outland spousal sponsorship for me (american, my husband canadian). If you don't have all of the paper work prepared by your intended leaving date for canada you could always pay for the application ahead...

The specifically say no staples.....stick with paperclips

Hmm...let me see if I am understanding you correctly. Are you wondering if it's better to be living in the US or Canada before you send the outland paperwork? If that is the case then it would help for you to be living in Canada before applying. I'm taking this from the IMM5491 (document...

I kept the development of the relationship, wedding, and reception photos in the IMM5490 packet as requested. There is no reason to have two sets of copies, because at the end all your photos and evidence will be wrapped up in the same packet anyway. I'm sure the Immigration officer will...

If you haven't already make sure to get your apt. contract with both you and your partner's names on them. It would also help to get your utility bills under your names as well. AND make sure it's all written in English. If not then you'll have to get them translated and notarized. You might...

I would highly suggest applying outland. I just recently received my COPR in the mail for outland-spousal sponsorship as an american and it took just under 8 months. I have been in Canada through the whole process. Like others have said if he's able to continue working and getting paid...

If they are all in English photocopies are ok. If they are in another language then they need to be translated and notarized.

Thank you so much!

You send your country specific document checklist.

Hi everyone, I got CoPR yesterday in the mail!!! Things are happening! Good luck to everyone ;D

I got CoPR in the mail yesterday! ;D

I opened the mailbox late last night and found the little brown envelope! Finally, got my CoPR!!!! I can't believe how quickly ECAS changed to DM to receiving my CoPR. Congrats to those who's files are moving along! :D

My ECAS has the mailing address set up just the way you described it! House # Street name City, province postal code must not be a big deal.....!?

Good news everyone! Checked ECAS today and it FINALLY changed......I was expecting to see "in process" but it skipped that update and went straight to DM! They started processing my application April 16th, 2015. Things are moving! Good luck August applicants! ;D
