Evening all! I got my permanent residency a few months ago, but I'm still in the process of bringing my car over (2002 Explorer) which we declared on the goods to follow. I'm originally from Texas and my vehicle registration expired in September (forgot about it since my car is in storage in...

Oops, meant March 29, 2011 for the initial assessment... but all is almost over, we got our PPR the yesterday, mid-morning! Griping to Buffalo sometimes works! :)

Fantastic news despite how down we've been lately and the lack of info on our CAIPS notes... WE GOT OUR PPR! XD Heading up to Buffalo in 1.5 weeks to finalize. So happy! XD

I'm not sure how things work, but has anyone who received CAIPS notes and were told they weren't missing documents in their initial assessment (March 29, 2001 for us) been given a bring forward date? Our notes state that our bring forward date is May 9, 2011, but from what I've read here in the...

If you haven't heard anything in a while, and you have access to eCas, they're most likely just slowly working through the backlog. We applied in August and only just now got an INITIAL assessment in the mail 5 days ago. Granted, they lost our CSQ for 4 months and never told us (moving to...

My hubby and I met playing WoW too... still do! :D

Ines - That's just great! :) LOL, and no, no French courses yet, despite my husband's nudging. Have my French for Idiot's book I read before bed, but no lessons yet. Plumosa - Wow, you were very lucky! Mine's already at ~200+ days and doesn't seem remotely close to being done. :( Granted...

LOL, oh we are staying on top of them about it, but I keep getting canned responses or none at all. They WILL give me an answer if I have to fly up there and smack them around. :) Missmini- - You're very lucky to be with him. I'd love it if I could be with mine. I can't wait to be up there and...

Still waiting for a PPR from an August application. :(

Hm, we applied for the CSQ in French if I remember correctly -- I referenced the English and put the same answers in the same spots on the French form. LOL, hubby had no issues with the form since he's the French-speaker. :) Like Ines said, I think the CSQ form came with both English and French...

Hey all! :) In light of Dralon's good news about his wife receiving a PPR (congratulations!), I was just wondering how long it took/is taking for others to immigrate to Quebec from the US. Hubby and I submitted in early August 2010, and it seems immigrating to Quebec takes longer than other...

Hm, thank you very much guys. I will look into it further and try to find when the best time would be to go up. I wouldn't mind the wait as much if I got to actually live my life with my hubby. I greatly appreciate the feedback, and hope that when I get to it, I get a nice, understanding IO...

Yes, I'm a US citizen. I know I can go stay for short periods, but I was under the impression that staying 2+ months at a time without a visa was a serious no-no. I have no desire to jeopardize my PR application or future in Canada, but is there a set limit you can stay without a visa?

I tried to use the search feature here but I kept getting posts that had nothing to do with the topic from 2007, so I'm asking here: Can you successfully apply for a (3-6 month) visitor visa while you have a PR application in progress? I know you can do regular visits and whatnot, but will...

I totally feel for you, and your story sounds very similar to our own. We applied in August 2010, too, and paid all the fees well in advance, along with sending in the medicals late spring so they'd have time to process them. My CSQ was supposed to be mailed to Buffalo back in early October...
