Hey guys, I'm on an H-1B in the US and I performed a soft landing at Lewiston–Queenston yesterday. Here's my experience... Act1, scene 1: Crossed the border at around 6am and it was virtually deserted. Guy at the booth: "Good morning, what are you here for?" Me: "Morning, here to land" GATB...

Hey guys, We're planning to drive up to the Queenston Lewiston Bridge from Boston, leaving this Friday evening. By our estimates, we should reach there only by 4am on Saturday morning. I'm seeing lots of conflicting reports in the forums, for instance here - and here - where landing at...

Hey guys, We have our CoPRs and our immigrant visas are scheduled to expire on May 2nd, 2018. I am the principal applicant while my wife is the dependent. My wife is on a student visa in the US (F1) with an extension pending, so her attorneys have advised against her traveling outside the...

Hey guys, Was hoping to get some opinions/suggestions/advice. So here's the situation: - We have our CoPR's, which expire on May 1 - I am on an H-1B, wife is on F1/OPT - I'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks, my H-1B transfer has been approved along with an extension, I-94 valid till...

Hey guys, I've gotten my CoPR but I'm yet to do my landing as my H-1B stamp has expired so I won't be able to land until I get a new stamp. I'm filling out the DS-160 for my H-1B extension stamping and I had a question. The DS-160 has a question: "Are you a permanent resident of a...

I received my PPR last week and the photo requirements state that the photo should be 2.75 inches long and 2 inches wide. However, most studios that take passport pictures use the US standard size of 2"x2". I checked in with Target, FedEx and Walmart and all of them offer 2"x2" as the only...

So based on the EE document upload site, the POF section states: If you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, you must provide an official letter issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile. This must: list of all your bank (chequing and savings) and...

So when I created my EE profile, I put down my wife's work experience as ~3 years (outside Canada, no CRS effect). We currently have a score of 457. Now that we're gathering our documents, it's become painfully evident that her former employer has made up their minds to be difficult to work...

Hi guys, Need some advice. I'm on an H1B visa in the US and I changed jobs in Feb 2016 from Company A to Company B. My last day of work in Company A was Friday, Feb 5, 2016, and my first day of work in Company B was Monday, Feb 8, 2016. Now my H1B transfer was approved by USCIS on Jan 21st...

So I'm in the pool for the 57th draw (fingers crossed). I've been with one employer from 2011 to 2016 and with my current employer since 2016. While filling out my EE profile, the only pertinent question was "Date DOPEHEAD first became qualified to practice in this occupation", and I've entered...

My wife's passport is on the verge of expiring and it may take up to a month to renew. Is it possible to create an EE profile now with her existing passport and update it at a later date, or would it be more advisable to wait till the renewal is complete before proceeding to create the EE profile?

I am 35 and my wife is 29. We started thinking about immigrating to Canada a few months ago and I took a gander at the CRS calculator on the CIC website. So if I put myself as the PA, we end up with a score of 442. But since my wife is 29, making her the PA would give our profile a score of 481...
