I'm sorry, I havent read the whole thread as it's 68 pages long but how does one go about declaring food being brought in to Canada? Do I make a separate group labeled "food and ingredients" and just list everything that we're bringing? As far as I know, it should be above board, no fruits or...

Thank you for your help. That was very reassuring. We'll bring the proof of funds as it's just a single thing to print off, but I'll leave the lease at home.

My wife has received her COPR and we're planning on going to Japan for a month and then coming back where she will officially "land" in Canada (she's been living here already as a temporary visitor for 9 months). I'm not quite sure what sort of documentation we will need exactly. I know we need...

So my wife has been approved PR and the courier envelope that we sent them when they asked us for a copy of the passport and a couple of PR size photos is being sent back. I assume that the contents are the COPR. I'm wondering what the next step will be. My wife is currently already in the...

It took about two days. We sent in the documents requested and they were received on Monday. I'm wondering how long it will take now until the next step. What is the next step? They wanted two photos so I assume that's for a PR card?

Yeah, I don't know how Canada does it. My wife's Japanese passport has "amendments" in the first couple of pages.

Interesting. I've never heard of amendment pages. I'm going to take a look at my passport. If thats the case then I guess we can just send off a copy of the photo page of the passport.

My wife just received an email telling her that her application is almost complete and we need to "follow the following steps within the next 30 days". My wife is Japanese so I believe that she does not require a visa to enter Canada (please correct me if I'm wrong) which means that we don't...

Wow, yours has been super fast Canuser. We applied in the beginning of May. I'm pretty sure CIC had some computer issues at that time that caused us to not get the requests that we were supposed to get and that has screwed things up for us.

My wife and I (her, a Japanese citizen, I, her sponsor) moved to Canada in July. She has just received her pre-arrival services message which has got me thinking about OHIP. Can she apply for OHIP yet, or do we still have to wait?

Is there any truth to this? Because I would like to get my wife to apply for OHIP in that case.

My wife just got a "pre-arrival" letter. I wonder how long it takes between this and getting PR. We applied in May of last year.

Oh crap. I put of her original entry into Canada which was in 2002. Are you sure it isn't the original entry into Canada?

So my wife needs to list her employment for the past 10 years but I have her as #1 currently unemployed the past 6 months, #2 working at her previous job, #3 would be unemployed again. But that doesn't cover the past 10 years. I need to add another entry to get to 10 years but there's only space...

Thanks, I'll do that. I'm filling out the visa extension form right now and I have a question. It asks for your original date of entry to Canada. For that, do they want to know the very first time you ever visited Canada? Or are they talking about the first time you entered Canada on this...
