    better for myself (citizen) or wife (PR) to apply for in-laws TRV?

    random question that doesn't apply to this post at all: My wife and I were discussing having a wedding in Canada in the future, and I would love to have her parents fly over for it. She claimed that it will take them 2 years to get a travel visa. I said that can't be true! Just went on the...

    hotel quarantine question - Toronto

    haha yeah every hotel review I see mentions how horrible the food was. I'm going to call them when I make a reservation to see if I can drop off a care package for my wife loaded with stuff she likes, as she has never left China and is a little bit of a picky eater... but don't tell her I said that!
