My parents were going to help me move and since they are not PR but simply would be visitors, idk if they'd be able to do that still. Also with my husband, I don't know if he'd be allowed into the US as simply a visitor at this point, he was also going to help me move. Also, yes to social...

Hello! I'm starting this thread for anyone else in this situation. I soft landed in December and stayed with my husband for two weeks. The plan was to make the big move on March 29th, but this Covid-19 situation has delayed that until further notice. Is there any other soft-landers in the same...

Is your driving experience/extract just the MVR? I ordered a certified MVR off the DMV website to be delivered to my home address, I'm hoping that will be enough to prove my driving experience/license authenticity. I'm coming from Georgia as well.

Hello friends, I have some questions about exchanging my U.S. (Georgia) license to an Ontario one. I've had my license since August of 2015 (so four and a half years), and just ordered a certified MVR (7-year history, since I've had my license longer than the 3-year option) from the DMV. Will...

I hope my title is grammatically correct. Anyways, I got my PR and soft landed on December 26th and am making the big move around March 30th. Me and my husband are going to drive my car (don't worry, I am aware of the exporting/importing stuff and am working on getting that done) with some of...

Hey friends, I know threads about soft landing experiences are greatly appreciated by members on here so I'll let y'all know about mine. I'm a U.S. citizen being sponsored by my Canadian citizen spouse for some background on my case. I was coming in from Atlanta (where I'm from) to YYZ on Delta...

ALSO, I forgot to ask this last night.... How did you fill out the BSF186A form, the link to the PDF on their official website won't let me type on it and I have to pay for an Adobe membership to get access to type on the document :/ The shorter form lets me type on it though... is that what you...

Super helpful! I'm about to go through this process this Thursday so I have some questions! When you did the automated kiosks, what did you say the purpose of your visit was? To immigrate or visit (since it was a soft landing)? Also, you had a goods accompanying list? Since I'm just visiting...

Hi, I actually have more questions about landing and since you're a VIP member I figured you may have answers? 1. First question, since I'm doing a "soft" landing, I arrive at terminal 3 at Toronto Pearson and those kiosks are all on computer now, and one of the first questions asks your purpose...

I'm not a senior member or anything so I'm purely basing my suggestion based on others' experiences I've read about on this forum. BUT, I do see people say that there's no point in ordering your notes until medicals have been passed because I think that's when they truly start looking into your...

Hey friend. Most people I see in your situation are advised to order GCMS notes. They give you a detailed look as to the notes they are making on your file and maybe why there are delays. It allows you to be proactive too if there is something they are concerned with in your file. Here's a link...

GC Key shows approved! Took exactly two weeks from when my passport photocopy and all the other PPR stuff got to Ottawa, in case anyone is curious about how long it is currently taking. My return tracker hasn't been activated yet but I imagine it will be either today or tomorrow.

Hey friends I'm a U.S. citizen who is planning to do a soft landing at Toronto Pearson at the end of December. I have some questions, and I realize these may be painfully stupid questions: 1. I know I need to declare goods I'm bringing and goods to follow. Do I need to declare every single...

I sent in my PPR stuff last Wednesday and it got there on Thursday (Thanksgiving day) so I'm still waiting for CoPR. I plan on doing a soft landing at the end of this month (day after Christmas) and then moving around the spring/summer time. This process is stressful y'all, especially when you...

Thanks for info friends!
