Thank you!

It's been many years since I used this forum and I'm back with a brief question! We've been eligible for citizenship for years and I finally said enough, I'm not letting all this paperwork intimidate me any longer! So, there are 5 of us with PR, myself, my 2 adult kids (teens when they...

Just popping in to say hi and answer a few PMs. Things are ok here, got our SSNs and finally got Alberta Health this week (been fighting with it since we got our 1 year VRs, Calgary was seriously dropping the ball), got both my businesses going (web design and selling handmade soap), still...

Short landing story, long to come when I'm recovered from the trip lol. Got to the border with uhaul trailer behind the car. Explained we got approved for PR and was sent right inside. Officer asked for our paperwork, then had us sit. Waited a bit. Called to sign COPRs. Sat down again. Called...

You are TOO FUNNY! :P Congrats everyone who's had good news recently. My thoughts are with you guys still waiting longer than we were, and are directed at the VOs to get their acts together for the old-timers still waiting. Considering I had an exclusion order, a spot on my FBI record, and...

5 COPRs in my hands ;D They did extend the medicals until Dec 10, 2012 and we have until Dec 9, 2012 to land. We are leaving on Saturday to go to Oregon to get my things, and will land on the way back around Wednesday. So relieved! Off to get packing (this long of a trip with 4 kids takes a lot...

I'm in northern Alberta. The instructions said (if sent by courier) that they'd be returned via post office unless a postage paid courier envelope was included. It takes 2 weeks for my sister's priority mail envelopes to reach me (she sends me my mail), and I didn't want to wait that long...

Thank you :) UPS tracking updated. It's in Calgary - 7 hours away, but now instead of being here Thursday, it's scheduled for Friday delivery. Grr! It's only 7 hours away!!

I don't know what took them so flippin' long, but I'm glad to see you got it finally!

Not sure, but soon! How exciting!

ALL OF A SUDDEN UPS SHOWS OUR PASSPORTS ARE IN CALGARY!!! Scheduled delivery this thursday!!!

Treat it just like you would a regular long distance move.

Bring parts of your culture - it is, after all, part of what makes each person who they are, but assimilate is the only way to have a unified country, any country. America is going to hell in a hand basket for many, many reasons, but a large part of it is immigrants don't give a )$*@# about...

Best of luck for a speedy process DCGelfling! So, how long is normal for the passports/COPR to be returned? I'm getting really nervous. PPR on March 7, they received our passports on March 13, and I enclosed a postage paid UPS Global Express envelope for them to send everything back in...

I've seen dozens of posters that have had their timelines delayed 2-6 MONTHS because they split the payments up. If you can do it, pay it all up front, even if you have to save up for a bit to afford it.
