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...

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...

Man, was I ever excited being called for the interview & test last week. It didn't take more than 7 months from CIC received my application until I was called for test - and that included fingerprinting. I did the test but during the interview the lady had to go thru all my passport stamps...

I just landed and imported my car. Here are the steps I went through and wanted to share them with you. Before you leave, make sure you have your original title, sales receipt and recall clearance letter. I went to an authorized GM dealer and asked for the letter. Have your VIN available...

Finaly landed early this morning at 3:00am. A 26" u-haul truck of stuff and my car. Landing went great, imported belongings and car with no problems. Only problem I had was when I exported the car and had to deal with US CBP officers with attitude (go figure). Hopefully the last time I ever...

I have been notified my PR visa will be issued. I am not ready to land yet however, I will still need to travel to Canada in business and to prepare for our move (house hunting etc). Can I enter Canada with a PR in my passport without landing? One other reason to why I am not ready to land...

My application has been forwarded from Buffalo, NY to a different consulate for “expediting”. Does anyone have experience of what Canadian Consulates (in the US) may be faster/slower than others? Does anyone know of the backlog in NYC, Seattle, LA, DC or Detroit?

My wife (living with me in the USA) is pregnant. I hope to land in Canada before the child is born, but we are prepared for a birth in the USA. I understand that I must inform Canadian Immigration of our newborn if my wife gives birth before PR visa is issued. My question is: What if I...

I read comments about applications being returned becasue fields are left blank - not N/A. Reviewing copies of my own application I have left IMM 0008 Question 13 blank, not with N/A. Upon receiving my AOR in the next few days, should I be proactive and send Buffalo a new IMM 0008 to avoid...

Hi again and thanks for all the good responses I have got. We are just about to send the out-of country sponsorship and PR application. My wife is Canadian. I foresee no issues with this as we now have all the supporting documents. I have already applied for some jobs in Canada. I’ve...
