Hi. Planning to move to Canada soon since I got the CoPR, i was wondering about transferring my money there and whether we need to fill any forms to not pay taxes on them? Or by default no taxes on transferred funds?

Hi. I'm planning to have a soft landing since we still need to do a bit of preparation to ensure a smooth permanent transition (our employers are a MNC so trying to find us jobs in the Canadian offices, we don't want to cut the school year short, etc.). My understanding is that PR cards are...

Hello. I just got my COPR, but the city of landing on it is Ottawa while we plan to land in Toronto. We're FSW-O applicants. Will this cause any issues?

Hello. I'm planning to land in Canada soon but the best flight I could find arrived on a Sunday morning. Will that be a problem or do the immigration section open 24/7?

We’re thinking to land in Toronto in the summer. Anyone who did so recently can share their experience please?

I’m wondering if due to the strict covid restrictions in Canada if PPRs are now on hold or are they still being issued for outland applicants? My GCMS notes show that everything is done and passed for months now but I still didn’t receive the golden email.

Hi all. It’s been 3.5 years since AOR (crazy, I know), but I finally received a request today to redo medicals, but also to resubmit travel history, police certificate, passport copies and schedule A. Is this a good sign? Or an automatic request to have updated documents after a long wait?

My FSW-O application has been under process for 3 years. My medicals and criminality are expired by now, and no automatic renewal done or request to redo them. The file doesn't have any comment beyond 1.5 years ago ... Super frustrating! What are my options here?

Our application for FSW-O has been in progress since June 2017 (yes, 3 years and 1 month you read that right). the latest GCMS noted we ordered show our criminality status changed from Passed to Passed-Expired. Does that mean they’ll need new documentation? Or they’ll renew things on their own?

Hello, I sent a webform to CIC informing them that I have a new born I need to add to the file. They sent me back links to the forms to fill and they're in PDF. When I click on them I get the below. I checked and I have in fact the latest version of Adobe reader but I still get that on the page...

Hello all, My wife and I got a baby a couple of months ago while my files is still processing. I would like to add her to our file. Will I need to refill the generic application again with all travel history for my wife and myself? we travel a lot for work and it’s been 3 years almost since AOR...

We just had a baby, and our application has been under process for a while. Naturally we'd like to add our newborn to our application, do we need a new proof of fund to show we can support a family of 3 rather than just a family of 2 as mentioned in our original application?

Hello. So my applications been in process for over 2 years and 2 months now. CSIS had sent their CSS recommendation back to CBSA 1 year ago! And until now it seems CBSA had not yet forwarded it to CIC. No movement on my notes... I’m considering filing a writ of mandamus at this stage but was...

Given that I’ve been waiting for over a year now, I’ve ordered a fresh set of GCMS notes 2 weeks ago, and CSIS notes last week. I’m thinking of ordering CBSA notes this week as well. All 3 will be simultaneously processed, do you think this would cause any issues?

What kind of ghost updates have you received prior to PPR?

It’s been 1 year since my AOR, but from my latest batch of GCMS I noticed a typo in my application. Last letter of my city of birth was missing. All documents I submitted however has it written correctly in them, so the mistake is only in the application. I’m going to raise a CSE to correct it...
