jgs... here are the addresses you are looking for. i sent my application to mississauga via ups, and to the address without the p.o box. when sending it by courier, you are able to track the application and see what time, and who signed for it. i liked having that information. Case...

i didn't send in my husbands birth certificate at all... and they didn't ever ask for it. it must have not been too much of an issue as he received his passport with visa last week! and... yep, just a regular ol' photocopy will be sufficient. i ordered several copies of the marriage...

@ colormepanda... i'm just looking at appendix A - document checklist, and it says that you can send photocopies of your marriage certificate, and your birth certificate. the only time that you need to have it notarized/certified is if the documents are not in english or french. the only...

hello sbwv09! for the marriage certificates, i'm pretty sure that i sent in the original long copy, and photo copied the short version. for the birth certificate, just photo copy will suffice. don't send the original. and yeah, because your husband is born in canada you don't need to worry...

hey minx83!! congrats on the visa!! it feels sooo good to have it in hand, eh?! when you cross at the buffalo, ny/fort erie, ontario border... there are always immigration officers available in fort erie, 24/7.

hey diddagirl!!! yes, finally indeed!!! i can't wait till he is here!!! its going to be so surreal being together... all the time. and just not for short vacations here and there!!! :)

hello!!! my husband finally got his passport back!!! apparently, they didn't want to use the fedex envelope we sent... and we had to wait a bit longer because the sent it via regular post. but, he has it in his hands!!! wooohooo!! now, he will be here at the end of may! i can't wait!! :)

My husband got his passport back!!! He went off to book his flight!! eeee!!! :)

27 business days... seriously. anyone able to guess how much longer we are going to have to wait? my husband and i recently decided that instead of him staying in bermuda and finishing his work contract... he is going to come to canada as soon as his passport is returned!! this is making...

bonacker! if you want to know if NYC has received your medicals... it's a better idea to fax ottawa. i faxed them and within a day, they sent a fax back saying that they went ahead and forwarded the medicals to NYC. there are two fax numbers: 613 954 6211 or 613-954-8653. i'm not quite sure...

isakben!!! you won!!! congrats on the passport, the landing, the pr status!!! yay!!! i can't wait till my husband gets his passport back... ahhh... that will be a wonderful day!

hey proxy! well... yesterday, my husband did receive a package from NY!! but... they were just returning the proof of the relationship that we had sent... photos, etc. so, that's a good sign. but... no passport. still. 24 business days for us. c'mon NY!!!

isakben! it sounds like you are winning the race for sure!!! my husband received a package from NY today... but, it was just all of our photos and everything else that we had sent. however, no passport. ugh.

proxy! it is too bad that they keep the passports for so long! i feel so bad for my husband... he's living and working in a bermuda, but is a citizen of portugal. i would feel lost living somewhere like that without my passport! the fedex envelope that we sent was addressed for it to go to...

proxy! my husband's says that now... but, when it was first transferred to NYC, ecas said nothing about medicals being received... so we did some faxing and sorted it out! i WISH ecas was updated letting us know when the passport was going to be sent back!
