I've been debating on how best to get my visa from Buffalo, and then land, eventually making my way to Edmonton, Alberta. I was originally planning on landing at Niagara Falls, and then driving cross-country through Canada to Alberta, but that may not be possible now due to timing reasons...

Hi all, I'm struggling to find the appropriate contact number or means by which to (quickly) obtain a recall clearance letter from Kia Motors for my Kia Sportage SUV. I need this letter to provide when I land. I anticipate doing so within the next month. Is anyone familiar with the KIA...

Is anyone getting the new iPad? I've always wanted one, but never got around to getting one. I browse this forum a lot on my iPhone, which ha a teeny tiny screen compared to the iPad. Has anyone used their iPad with this forum before? How does it compare to a regular laptop/desktop?

I is sad. :(

I thought I'd post a picture from where I live. With so many different nationalities on this forum, I thought it'd be neat to take an inside look at the surroundings of one another. It's one more fun thing to do, while we all wait for PPR. And who knows, we might find some interesting places...

I just got an update from the e-Cas Tracker... saying "Medical Results Received." This would normally be cause for celebration, however, it's been like that now for a of couple weeks. My latest eCas update hasn't changed at all. It says "occasionally this could mean your mailing address has...

A little conversation can make the wait more bearable... Sooo... who likes Tim Hortons? I DO!!!

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/minister/index.asp#invite Anyone feel like inviting Minister Kenney to an organized event? I think we should all organize an honorary dinner for him, maybe do some fundraising, put him in one of those glass tubes with money flying and have him catch it...

I posted this elsewhere, but decided to start a thread on it, to get more feedback. What is the logic behind not allowing Inlanders to appeal, while giving Outlanders that option? What is CIC thinking? How is that not cruelty? It's like, you choose to be with your spouse while CIC...

This question is for Outlanders whom are currently living in Canada. If you decide to wait out the remaining process in Canada, I know you can send your passport to Buffalo or a specific location in Canada, when they give you PPR, and you can get the PR stamp (and then flagpole if you like)...

Hi all, I received a second copy of my FBI background check in the mail today. I was going to forward it on to Buffalo, in case they want it. I had mailed the request from the mail room at my work, using a FedEx return label. Now that I have the results back, my letter has my name, but also...

Hi all, My application is in Buffalo. I should have AOR any day now... I've been thinking over the last couple days as to what could possibly cause any sort of holdup with my application. The only thing that comes to mind is this: I (a U.S.-born American Citizen) lived in Germany from the...

Hi all, Is there a way you can check with Ottawa and see if they ever received your medicals from your DMP? I'm nervous my visa office will tell me they can't find the medicals, and if they were somehow lost, perhaps I could work on fixing that before they realize there's a problem. I'm just...

Hey guys, I'm slightly freaking out all of a sudden. I got my FBI background check back in the mail in August. The letter (with no criminal record) is dated August 7th. I'm in the November group. Mississauga received my app on November 16th, and my sponsor was approved on December 13th The...

Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can give me some insight on signing up with a carrier in Canada. My wife is already on Telus, and I plan to sign up with them, and do a family plan. I know there's differing opinions as to what network is best (e.g. Telus, Rogers, Bell, etc). What I'm...

Hi Everyone, I hope your application plans are coming together (either submitted or in process) as we finish up with this calendar year, and wish all of you good luck and speedy processing times, regardless of which means you've applied. I have a question for all married (and I guess...

I can't help but notice nobody here wants to immigrate to Nunavut. Am I the only one who thinks it'd be fascinating? I heard they have a KFC and McDonalds now! I guess there's not much to do in the way of employment, and they only have one town, Iqaluit, and the territory cannot be reached by...

Greetings, I'm planning on visiting my spouse in Canada for Christmas. I haven't booked my flight yet, and they're currently in the $800 RT range (with layover, direct is $900+). I've never traveled during the Christmas time before. I know flight prices change daily, sometimes multiple times...

Hi all, I thought I'd post this as a separate thread, to get some opinions. If I choose to wait out the outland PR processing with my spouse, I'll have to leave my work (permanently). I thought I would time it so that when I cross the border, I'll have already given my notice (for work), but...

Greetings all, I'm open to the idea of getting a work permit (upon getting a job offer from an employer, who was able to get an LMO). I've yet to apply anywhere, but I figured if I can get a work permit, I can work and be with my spouse (whilst processing under outland), as opposed to sitting...
