No worries, happy to help! I’m sure you have everything covered but I believe the process is a tad different if you land by road. Apparently there are specific days CBSA will turn you away from landing and advise you to come back etc but that may not be true anymore. I think I read it somewhere...

Oh yes sorry, I totally did forget the landing card. Thanks for reminder kuskus. FYI all you are issued a landing card while on route in the plane. Fill in the basic information (name, passport details, address in CA - even if it’s a hotel or Airbnb - reason: personal trip etc). Despite being...

Hi all, Just to help everyone else moving towards their landing experience, I'm posting my recent experience landing at Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Toronto. Please note that I had previously landed a week prior at Boston Logan in MA to visit with family and leave my larger luggage...

Thanks for quick reply AppNov2014NY. 1. For jewellery yes photos are required so I will be doing that regardless. What do you mean by it may or may not work ie guesstimate? Would they query me? Yes I can get it appraised but concern is CBSA may raise eyebrows with valuation ie leading to a tax...

Thanks Rookie for the post and sharing. Very very helpful! I’m landing in Toronto in May - cutting it close to my visa expiry but no choice with work - and need some help / feedback please. Anyone know the answers to the below, please feel free to jump in. 1. The goods to follow - how did...

Yes as it makes it official especially as you dont have the account number listed. Why isn't it listed? If you have time then get the bank officer to redraft the document. Don't give CIC any reason to suspect yr documents arent genuine.

Yeah no its the average closing monthly balance when I specifically told the bank I needed the average 6 month balance. So Im printing my bank statements and the officer is sending it to me. Thanks tho!

Thanks you so much for replying so quickly Advisor_PK. I've got everything uploaded BUT my PoF as I called the bank to double check based on your (usual case comment) and true enough they took the average balance from the last closing balance of the month given its a savings and NOT a current...

Guys, Just a quick question. I've got 3 letters from the bank. All required info: - Name - Date account open - Account No - National ID - Passport No - Investment Amount - Immediate Refund Amount 2 letters verify my investment accounts and the amount in home currency and Canadian dollar which...

Exactly the same question I had. I've just taken my photo and made 6 hard copies plus got the digital scan with the right size jpeg resolution. I know CIC ask for 2 copies to be uploaded but the instructions do list out writing name, DOB, plus the stamp of the photography studio on the back. So...

Guys, Quick question. Im just going to submit my application next week and going through the documents. I followed the draft of reference letter listed out on page 1 of a nailing a reference letter thread here. I just realised something.....my letters do NOT list benefits out. It lists out all...

FYI all. Thank you for your inquiry, The current processing time for an FBI Background Check is taking 8-10 weeks to complete from the date the request was received. It can take 7+ weeks for a request to clear our security process, so we are not able to see the request in our system until...

Never mind, found it in the FAQ section of all places. Thanks lucky. https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/address-verification.pdf/view

Hey again lucky, Oh really? Thanks for info. Hmm I'll try looking again. Would I email this change of address form to the identity address they provide? They don't seem to be responding :-/ Thanks!

Thanks v much Maverick.

Really? But plenty of ppl have changed their mailing address on the thread here from home country to a friend / relative in the US. Merely to expedite receiving mail. I'm just asking if I need to use the same application form or if there is some other form.

Hi, Thanks for the update. Not great news but allows all of us waiting to plan an LOE and providing the Fed Ex delivery slips to CIC as looks like processing will be salted. Can you advise when you wrote this email and which email address you sent it to? I've written asking to change mailing...

Help anyone?! Also does anyone know what dates of packages the FBI is working on now? Thanks!
