With reference to my post above, if anyone has been in a situation of getting a new I-94 using AVR when h1b extension is pending with USCIS, please share. Thank you.

Thanks harirajmohan, you kind of guessed my concern. I just filed for my extension and got receipt notice from my employer when I was in Canada. I told about my extension to the VISA officer too, but he said I have no choice, and said my extension would be in trouble if he did not give me a new...

Hello All, I landed in Canada during the holiday week and re-entered USA using AVR feature. I have expired H1B visa in an old passport, which also had old I-94. I do have a valid I-797 approval notice (which has I-94 with same number as the one on the expired passport). At port of entry the...

I am a consultant working for a client through my employer in the US. I know for visa stamping consultants are given hard time, wanted to get an idea if it matters when it comes to AVR entry. I have expired h1b visa (different employer name on it) and valid I-94 (with current employer name)...

Thank you.

For the benefit of anyone with same confusion, I also called CBSA and heard it from the horse's mouth that I do not need to do fumigation for my mattress.

I applied for Canadian PR in the past and during landing (year 2014) I also applied and obtained a SIN number; then I came out of Canada but did not return in time to maintain my PR status. So, I renounced my PR status and reapplied and managed to get it again. My question is once I land this...

Thank you for the clarification.

Do I need to get bed and mattress fumigated if taking with me to Canada from the USA. Someone told me it was an old rule and now fumigation not needed but then someone-else said it is still there. Checking to see if anyone knows if the fumigation requirement for beds and mattresses still exist...

Thank you all for the informative discussion and clarification.

I applied for PR and was asked to send the passport for permanent resident visa and CoPR document to be sent back. Today I got an update e-mail and when I checked the website it said application approved. In the "Document Status" section it says the following: "Document" as "Counterfoil"...

I got the request to mail our passports in a pre-paid self- addressed envelop so that they can send us the Permanent Residence Visa along with the CoPR document. My question is in the self-addressed envelop what is the sender name and address I should put? Should I put sender or From Address...

I believe answer to your first question is it depends in which University and Country you and your wife did your Master's degree. I have my Bachelor's from India but did my Master's from an accredited University in USA. I did not want to deal with the hassle of getting official copies of my...

Thank you for your response. So is Fraser Institute (https://www.fraserinstitute.org/school-performance) the widely accepted site to view school rankings in Canada? Also, like in USA (at least in Bay Area), in addition to location does the rating of the home school play a critical role to drive...

I may immigrate to Canada in a few months from Bay Area, USA. I have a 4 year old kid. I have heard that schools in Canada are very good, but looks like as in Bay Area, USA there is some kind of performance ranking/rating among schools in Canada too. One of our places to settle is in BC...
