    DUAL US & CAN CITIZENSHIP

    So... This is probably a really dumb questions... but I've been hearing from a lot of people that if I apply to be a Canadian citizen, I will have to renounce my US citizenship. I feel like that's total bull, because I know SO MANY PEOPLE that are dual, HOWEVER they all are dual due to...

    Expired but valid US drivers license - exchange for BC license

    Hello, So just to clarify, they will not see an expired license as "Vaild", however, they will consider it as driving experience, which I believe they require 2 years from the US or other country that they have an agreement with (I believe the UK, Australia, but NOT INDIA FOR SURE), so you can...

    Declaring Stuff When Landing

    When you're declaring stuff when you land (IE B4/B4a forms), do I need to declare things that were originally obtained in Canada? I ask because I wrote down my wedding and engagement ring but they were purchased and given to me in Canada, not in my home country. So can I leave it out, or should...

    B4 Forms Questions

    I haven't landed yet, but I am in the middle of filling out the same forms. What I have done is this: Break things down into prospective categories (IE Clothes, home goods, electronics, toiletries, etc). Within those categories you can say things like "shirts, pants, shoes" etc. I choose to put...

    Landing after Decision Made(DM) - Do I need US visa?

    Usually US is VISA exempt so you will not be issued one (even if you did need one, of course you would have to have it before you land) You should received a COPR (conformation on Permanent Residency if that's what you applied for) which you will need to "land" You have 2 options for "landing"...

    How did you meet your spouse?!

    I met my husband on Christian Mingle.com. I knew the minute I started talking to him he was the one. It just made sense and it didn't matter that he was in another country, I'd do anything to be with him. And I did. From my parents telling me I'm crazy and getting a "prayer chain" going for my...

    LONDON VO. Decision Made. When to expect PPR?

    Re: Decision Made. When to expect PPR? I got my letter about 5 days after I notice it changed, but a DM had been made on the 11th of June and I didn't received the letter till the 22nd. So it varied depending on where you are. I'm US to Canada so it was about 10 days.

    Risk of waiting VO to request medical exam result

    You should always do whatever it requests. Sending medicals upfront does run the risk of them expiring before processing, however, they can extend the medical date sometimes and it helps reduce extra processing times. Yes, it stinks to pay for it send it in, and then do it again, but most likely...

    Importing a used Vehicle from USA to Canada?

    I'm in the same boat. Seems pretty messed up so far. My suggestion would be to hire a Broker for the exportation process from the US. The Canada part isn't as hard. You declare the car when you land, and they'll give you something called a Form 1 and you have 45 days to have the car inspected by...

    Landing, then moving...

    1) No. The current wait time for a PR Card is 72 days. It may come sooner, But I wouldn't count on it. However, if you put in an address forward, you should still get it because it will be forwarded. 2) I'm assuming yes. You should inform them of any changes. 3) Yes you do. If you are...
