    Credit history

    Your new lender in Canada can always run your US credit history. They did that to me, but you have to ask them to. Just give them you SSN. It worked for me when I bought a house only 6 month after I move from the US.

    Is a Nexus Card appropriate for me?

    Just apply. As long as you don't need a entry visa for the US, have no criminal record and no passport stamps from the Middle East/Northern Africa , you will be fine. I was PR and had only lived in Canada for 8 months and got my Nexus.

    landed in a place different from the residence address

    Fully agree with Matt the Aussie. Line ups at YYZ can be brutal especially around 8pm as you will have several cross Atlantic flights coming in at the same time. Once you have landed, collect you bags and cleared customs, you will have to enter domestic terminal, which includes security. If it...

    I’m finally sworn in as Canadian

    Re: I'm finally sworn in as Canadian I was my mistake. I used the CIC calculator but during the interview some of my stamps didn't match. Shame on me for not double check all dates before submitting the application. After redoing the calculator I realized I was 2 days short but rather than...

    I’m finally sworn in as Canadian

    A long journey finally came to an end with my oath ceremony yesterday. Applied in January 2012 and passed the test in October 2012. Got hit with RQ at the interview (2 days short of 1095) and have been waiting since. I got the notice to appear for oath a few weeks ago and as of July 1st 2014...

    Didn't see that one coming...

    I was really expecting a JH but to my surprise I came home to an Notice To Appear for Oath this coming Canada Day! I honestly thought I wasn't going to hear anything until next year...

    1094 instead of 1095

    Hey - nice to hear I'm not the only one... I made the same mistake. What happen to me was that I reported my days out of the country (in good faith...), but since I had returned to Canada past midnight due to late arrivals, the passport stamp did not match the date I reported. This happen at...

    Credit Cards (building credit as a new-coming PR in Canada quickly)

    If you have AmEx is a very easy process to transfer credit history from one country to American Express Canada. Visit the AmEx site and you will find the information on "International Transfer" or what ever they call it.

    anybody from Hamilton?

    Hamilton received my application in February 2012 and I was called for the test in November 2012. Passed the test but got hit with RQ after test... obviously still waiting...

    test experience

    Well, one of the first thing you will do before the test is to promise not to share any of the questions to other applicants. But if you have read the guide book and googled Canadian Immigration Test Questions you will have a pretty good idea of what the questions will be. As for the...

    Ontario Car insurance discount

    Yes, at least for me they did. I presented my previous claim history which my Ontario insurance company verified and I got the discounts.

    "Test passed" - does it show on eCAS ?

    No, the test result will not show on ecas, but if you ask for your notes it will say. I got RQ after test. My notes I requested states "Test Status: Passed".

    Proof of Citizenship - How long?

    My son (minor) got his card in only 4 weeks. We needed his proof of citizenship for applying for OHIP health card. We did not request urgent processing. However, this was a new card (not replacement) for a minor and maybe CIC would prioritze such application? Also, this was in 2009... and...

    Got my CIC file

    I got my CIC file today (ATIP-AIPRP). I was given RQ after I completed my test. I can see I passed my test in December 2012 but my file is pending RQ assessment. I knew that already, but the Description says: "File Transfer to CIC St. Clair Office Pilot Project (RQ Assesment)". Does anyone...

    Car Questions

    You are correct in that you need to export before you import a car. Since you had the original title of the car I assume you fully owned the car. You would have a problem if you brought a car out of the US (and import in Canada) and the car is not fully paid for - even if you were still making...

    Goods & Goods to Follow lists & COPR

    I don't know about POE in Edmonton, but as for your goods to follow list you don't have to be that detailed. If you classifiy you households as Cloths, Electronics, Books, DVDs, etc and specify an estimated value for each category you will be fine. Only thing to remember is that any items...

    Is it possible to Postpone a hearing with a Citizenship judge?

    Anything is possible but why not withdraw your application. You are apperently applying for a US Green Card so your intentions are obviously to take up residency in the US. Why take up resources with the CIC for people who are actually applying for citizenship with the intention of living in...
