Thanks! I just sent it in. I haven't had great luck with the web forms during the whole immigration process, but maybe this time I'll have a better result. :-)

Yes. Apparently where we are (BC), it's enough to show that one of her parents is Canadian. So we provided the school with I think my wife's Citizenship information and our daughter's birth certificate showing that her mom was Canadian. I had to do some research to figure this out, as I'm not...

We have been waiting since July 2020 to get our daughter's proof of citizenship. She is also American, and we went ahead and moved to Canada while still awaiting her proof of citizenship. We weren't sure what they would say at the border (we drove), but they let her in with no problems. We had...

My wife (Canadian citizen living in the US) exported one of our cars when she moved back to Canada in June. Both of our names are on the title. But she had no problems crossing the border by herself and doing the export. I recently joined her with my COPR as a new permanent resident.

I sent my daughter's application in late July of 2020 and we just now received a confirmation that they received it. So 11 months for our AOR.

It does look like no quarantine will be required as of July 5th for permanent residents and Canadian citizens. That's a big change. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/news/2021/06/government-of-canadas-first-phase-to-easing-border-measures-for-travellers-entering-canada3.html

I just took it to a photo place and showed them the requirements. They stamped it with their information, and then I made sure my name, DOB, and I think application number was on it (whatever it said in the instructions). It was a bit of a convoluted process, but I filled out the spreadsheet...

As I'm American, I only needed to send in a photocopy of my passport and a couple of pictures. No visa needed for entering Canada. So via FedEx, they returned my photocopy and included the paper COPR all in one envelope. So I'm just assuming that if I had sent my passport it would have been...

I just received my COPR today! We applied outland from the USA. I'm American and my wife is a dual American/Canadian citizen. I hope to land within the next month. Here's my timeline: 2020-08-05 - Application Received 2021-01-20 - AOR1 Received 2021-02-04 - Biometrics Request 2021-02-09 -...

Hi All, We currently live in the USA. My wife is a Canadian citizen, and will be returning to Canada after 20+ years. She will be bringing her own list of goods to declare at the border. I will be moving later as a new permanent resident at a later date and am wondering if I can bring my own...

Nothing official. I wasn't ever even told if my file went to a visa office. I found out it was at New York when I received my passport request. I did see the ECAS status change from In Process (before bio/medical)-->Application Received (after passed bio/medical)-->In Process, so I had been...

I'm also trying to clarify what to put on Appendix A that I received with my Passport Request. I'm the principal applicant, so I know I need to put my information down, and include a copy of my passport. My wife is my sponsor, and is a Canadian citizen. We also have a daughter who is a Canadian...

I just received my passport request this morning! I'll post my timeline below, but a few things to note... We're in USA--I'm American, and spouse is Canadian. I was never told what visa office my file went to (or if it even went to one!), but I found out on the passport request that it was New...

I'm not clear if I can import a car that is more than 15 years old from the USA (A 2005 Prius). Thanks for any help!

Thanks! I don't think I need gcms notes. I guess I just wondered if the switch from application received to in process once again indicated that it was actually at the visa office being worked on. Seems like some people know a lot about what all these things mean! Always just looking for a...
