So We shall see if I get a response to my enquiry, I hope I do. am biting my nails now. lol.. oh the things we put our selves through. I'll let you all know what happens. Fingers crossed for good news.

If he is bringing personal belongings with him when he lands then he will need the B4 form to claim those belongings.If not bringing anything with him then he only needs the B4A form filled out with everything includeing the car and yes the goods to follow box checked. When he decides to land make sure he sends all required paperwork to the U S side of the border usualy 72hrs ahead of time but call your border crossing to verify. I have a little question about the B4 and B4A.
My spouse is coming Canada for a week on vacation, and will officially land before permanently moving here. He plans on coming back in December with his car and his belongings. Does he have to fill out the B4 AND the B4A, or ONLY the B4A (by checking "goods to follow" on that form)?
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me, as I am pretty confused about the whole process.
Any other requirements/advice about the car? He's coming in December with his car, but does he already have to "declare" his car on that form when landing?
Thank you so much for your help

The ppr letter only had their physical address listed. seattle-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca May 1st might be cutting it really close though  I gave notice to work the other day. Common responses: 1. But it's cold there! 2. Do you have dual citizenship/Are you still a US citizen/So are you a Canadian citizen now? 3. Where are you going? I have friends/relatives in Toronto/Montreal.

I'm surprised you didn't get are you going to live in an igloo bit...That one cracks me up and you would be surprise on how many times i've heard it! It is cold yes but so many other things make it better! Hope everything goes well for you guys!

I've gotten that one a few times, but generic "it's cold!" jokes are a lot more common.

Hi~~I am at brain Tracy's conference in Toronto...during the break I checked email just...and BOOM. PPR !!! They emailed like around 10am. Finally it is over for me. I hope all oldies will receive their ppr shortly...I know how hard it is for waiting for an answer...but just like every story has an ending, you will receive your ppr from buffalo one day. All I can recommend is be patient and do what you gotta do. Thanks again and wish you all good luck

The most common one I get: "Are you giving up your American citizenship?" NO NO NO!

Ugh....few more weeks wait for me. Seattle just emailed saying my DOB on my passport doesn't match my birth certificate. It's my fault for forgetting to correct this, but seriously somebody just transposed a 4 for a 7 in my birth day (27 instead of 24). At least they seem to expedite these requests... hopefully that's true because I need to travel in ~3 weeks
