Where is this nice weather that you speak of?

Great story. It had something for everybody.

Can you apply under the EE program if you are married to a Canadian? The Nova Scotia Express Entry forbids this. Is this the same for the federal program?

I think I lost my reading comprehension skills for a minute. I'll delete that post since my info was completely wrong. Thanks for catching that.

This is spot on. I've been saying the same thing for a long time. I know I wouldn't be as irate about the situation if the CIC would just say what the issue is instead of saying nothing or just lying about it for months. I guess I was naive for expecting Canadian politicians and government...

I took my (expired) drivers license, my passport and 7 year driving record. They give you a paper copy of your G license which you can drive with until you receive your card which takes about 2 weeks. It was $80 and took less than 30 minutes. I went to the College Park office. I will say the...

When I moved here in 2012 I crossed the border with just my license. I didn't have a passport at the time. When I applied for my passport at the embassy they seemed surprised that I had been allowed in.

Ha. I'm not Canadian(yet) so you're right about that. The guy does look like a creep, I can't be the first person who has noticed.
