I'm actually a Canadian Citizen and my wife has her PR. We've been hearing rumors that CBSA is cracking down on people moving back and getting into really specific details about isolation plans, etc. We are worried about saying that we are going to be using movers when we arrive, as that would...

I guess my situation is a little different, as I'm looking to drive (ie. move) back to Canada from the US and wanted to see if anybody else has driven across the border in the last month or two with all of their goods, isolation plan, etc. to see how the experience was, what questions were...

Has anybody else called or made the move across the border in the last month and is willing to provide some additional insight/information?

Sorry for the delayed response. The number I called was 1-800-461-9999 (within the US or Canada only). U-Haul has a no contact drop off service where you just leave the keys in a box, so there's no risk of contact there and I think the same applies for pick-up or something similar but would...

I spoke to a CBSA agent last week and it sounded like (in her opinion) this shouldn't be an issue as long as we self isolate and have a plan in place when we cross that we can review with the border agent. Our goal is to have all utilities set-up before the move, so the only contact we would...

Does anybody have any more information in regards to moving back to Canada during COVID-19? I'm a Canadian Citizen, my wife has PR and she's been accepted to a master program at UBC for the fall semester. So we are planning to move back in late July / early August from the US. Specifically...

Just in case anybody was following this thread, we ended up using a family members address in Alberta as our mailing address and included a letter stating our current situation. We received notification that her renewal has been approved but we will need to pick the card up in person. Only...

I know that most renewals happen once you move back and have a place to live, which would make sense but we are looking to renew her PR before moving back as she’s looking to go to UBC to get her Masters and we want the renewed PR card as part of her application.

Also - what do we use as an address as the only option on the form is for one in Canada and we live in Seattle, WA. I could use my Dad's address in Saskatchewan but don't want to appear that we are lying to immigration officials. I've read on other forums that we could go that route but write a...

Okay - so we have the paper work but don't seem to know how to dictate that we want to pick her card up at a local office in Vancouver once it has been processed. Because we live in Seattle, our plan was to drive up and mail the renewal application from a local post office but is there...

When you say drop it off in Vancouver, what exactly do you mean? And sorry for the stupid question, this is the first time for us to renew her PR and being in the US right now we just want to be sure we are doing everything correctly.

That's what I thought - however when we crossed the border the other weekend the customs agent said something about her being able to renew it online. From everything I have read, you need to have a residence in Canada in order to renew it. We are still living in the US but my Dad lives in...

So...my wife's PR expired in 2017. We currently live in Seattle where I am working on a TN Visa and have been back working in the US since 2016. We are currently toying with the idea of moving back to Canada in the next year but are confused on what the process would be to renew/reinstate her...

Happy Monday all! So we sent in my wife's passport to LA (before they notified us we didn't actually have to send in the ORIGINAL passport, ha) on December 14th... On January 10, the e-cas status changed to DM...almost 3 weeks ago. Within the almost 7 weeks since PPR, we've had to postpone...

They requested my wife's passport as well even though she's from the US and is visa exempt. Only after we sent it in and e-mailed requesting a timeline (since we had upcoming travel) did LA get back to us and let us know that if you're from a visa exempt country you actually have the option to...
