    Public transportation Ontario

    You can get by in larger cities, but you will not find it easy to see smaller towns/places. Also it won't be comfortable standing outside in -20C weather waiting for a bus (I have done this in Ottawa and in Winnipeg). Mind you, waiting outside in a downpour in Vancouver also was not fun. I...

    Shipping effects separately

    Because I'd be taking Because I'd be taking my stuff and then a few months later the wife would bring her things. So that would be two moves and probably costing more than a single move I would expect.

    My wife has PR and has landed but not settled in Canada earlier this year. Unfortunately the sale of our properties is not going to plan. My parents are awaiting our arrival as I am to care for them (part of the reason I am returning to Canada) I have already delayed moving twice. So now we...

    PR Card Photos rejected

    Not having success linking the card application. One thing on the link form is that the country of citizenship does not include "United Kingdom". it has "England" but you can't be a citizen of England. Have posted a technical issue twice on this and just get the usual run around. Tech. support...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Yes these are the photos we sent to London to use for the CoPR. My understanding is that it is these photos they use to make the PR card. but the wife was also photographed at immigration too, so confused. If the photos weren't up to spec. London should have said so. I had same issue with my...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Now the next hurdle. Had to return to the UK and while here the PR card photos got rejected! I hear this happens a lot. I don't know if it was the photo taken here - the one stuck on the CoPR - or the one taken at the airport when landed. Anyway, another set of photos to be taken and couriered...

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    Sorry, too much stress. apologies. I was thinking about the spreadsheet which a member(s) are updating. On that spreadsheet you can see how your process compares to others who have applied in the same month as yourself. I can't seem to find the link. Again sorry.

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    Can't comment on "normal" - the target that IRCC has is that 80%(?) are issued within 12 months. Ours took in total 11 months as there was a 3 month delay in obtaining my wife's birth certificate. Majority seem to be completing in 6-9 months. Check out the forum group for your type of visa and...

    Our visa was processed in Mississauga as well so don't be worried. I think it's the IRCC trying to clear the backlog so have got additional staff there.

    Oh dear I doubt you will get another CoPR by asking. You can try. More likely you will have to now sponsor wife and child with a new application. :(

    What province should I choose Alberta,Ontario or Quebec?

    I drove through northern Ontario I can tell that all I was doing was going up for 2 minutes and down for 2 minutes. All pretty flat west of there however.
