I obtained permanent residency last summer via spousal sponsorship, and I have a 2 year condition on it. We recently bought a home and just moved. Am I supposed to contact someone to report the new address for my PR records? If so, to whom/website? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. That makes sense.

We were just wondering what would happen? I got my PR 12 months ago, so we still have another 12 months to go to satisfy the condition. I know it's a morbid thought, but what would happen if my spouse died before the 2 year period? Would I have to go back to my country (US) to live? BTW, my...

Thanks!

They attached a piece of paper called Confirmation of Permanent Residency in my passport when I landed (It says it's not for travel). I already have a PR card. Am I supposed to keep this in my passport or I can detach it now since I have a formal PR card? Thank you!

Another link - This one is about Global American Express (which I failed to get... I got EveryDay AMEX and that didn't transfer >:( ) http://www.americanexpress.com/global-card-transfers/

I just googled and found this. The link below may be of interest to you... https://www.td.com/to-our-customers/tdhelps/#psce%7Ccid=871%7Clid=1%7Ctid=001%7Cvid=b0a2c3315 Good luck :)

The maze, I don't know why some of the people here are saying you cannot get a credit card. I have gotten a credit card from TD Bank with no SIN#. You do need a Canadian address to do it however. I decided to do this before I moved over in an attempt to build credit history before I arrived. (I...

I would want minimum of $1000 per month budgeted (not including rent), assuming I would be using public transportation. Remember, most places ask for the first month rent and security deposit (usually another month rent) and some places the last month rent also, so you need to add all that to...

Wow, my experience was much better than yours. I imported my 2004 Honda Accord - no problem whatsoever, but this was in Ontario. Maybe my car was in a better condition than yours? Or maybe you had a very picky inspector, I don't know, but the only thing I had to get done was the daytime running...

?? You can apply for NEXUS card online without PR or CoPR. Anybody who wants to go through customs (US citizen or Canadian citizen) can apply for it. I did apply months before my PR or CoPR came through. Make sure and apply for "NEXUS only" instead of "Global entry". NEXUS only gives you both...

I am not sure if my agent would be the best bet since she is local to me (Kitchener). What I did was google "Allstate Kitchener" and called the local number that came up. I had someone else initially, but she left the company and I ended up with my new agent, Sarah. I will PM the info just in...

I gotta take back what I said. I think PR card processing time varies greatly depending upon what, I don't know. I just got mine today - It took only 71 days. I landed at Lewiston-Queenston bridge in NY if that makes any difference...

Good list, swestenzweig! Sorry to hear you had a hard time getting a good (cheap) auto insurance for your car. For myself, I went with Allstate. I was with Allstate until 1997 to 2007 in the US, so that helped, I think. They asked me who my agent was in California and I believe they contacted...

There is a thread I read a few days ago on Family Sponsorship Forum of this site saying it is taking about 100 days now. I would probably just wait my 100 days or so. (I landed on July 7th.) Here, I found it for you... :)...
