Just doing some research and getting some advice on a few things. Some family wants to stay with us for a few months and they will apply for a student visa and an open work permit (2 adults, 2 kids.) We don't mind giving them a place to stay but they will apply on their own and I can provide...

Hi there. I am using the H&R Block software to do this for myself and wife, and just have a few quick ones. We moved in September back and both became residents. (I am a returning citizen and she is a PR) So while filling out the forms I have reported the small income she made in the...

Just wanted to share my experience to help a lot of folks with perhaps an upcoming stressful scenario, landing in Canada :) Overall my landing was successful with some small issues mainly with the flight timings, but the entry experience was great with perhaps a combination of luck and good...

Hi there. Will be arriving very soon and was going to fill out the forms for personal exemptions. Is this correct to assume that the PR (COPR) can create a list of stuff they will bring (listed on website) and everything will be good as long as it's not prohibited? (2 copies.) Can we use the...

Hi there we will land in about 3 weeks in Vancouver and I just wanted to get a modern update from some folks who may or may not know of anything to make sure of or to expect as of today August 2022. Anything urgent other than making sure all paperwork and details are in order? My wife said...

Hi there. Planning my flight now. The tickets are expensive these days :) Anyway a couple of quick questions and I apologize as I couldn't a more relevant forum so I just posted it here. My wile will be landing sometime in August with her newly approved COPR :) 1. When booking the flights...

Hi there. When we applied we gave all given names however upon getting our COPR it simply states my wife's married name and no mention of the given middle name (Which is her previous last name, that's how they do things in the Philippines.) I mean it was never really questioned at all during...

Hi there. I am trying to set up something for my wife so when we land, she can easily obtain the above either online or by visiting the appropriate offices. What's a good option? I am reading something like a letter of attestation but for the first few months I will be living with my uncle...

Hi there just got an email asking for my wife's passport to be sent to VFC :). Woohoo! Some initial questions. 1. Travel Insurance. There's some mumbo jumbo here about how we might need travel insurance to leave the country. I will have credit card insurance for my trip but apparently that...

Hi there. I have been an expat and living outside of Canada but only recently discovered that despite notifying CRA about my status as non resident, it still was considering me a resident for a few years so I sent them a note a few weeks ago to let them know. I had been seeing the TFSA cap...

I know there have been a lot of discussions on this one but would like something modern to go by due to pandemic, etc. What if we get approved 1-2 months before the medicals expire? I need some time to get ready to go would there be a way to redo the medicals to align with the COPR validity of...

Hi there. Most things are done and I am told that medical expires one year after we accomplished it. With the Ukraine scenario and what not have a few questions. 1. If I am not approved before October, I understand the medical will have to be re-done. Does this mean you will have to pay for...

Just got this today and from what I understand it's not an approval, but decent news to get. Anything else to expect or anything valuable to get out of that? I am pretty much up to speed on how to apply and obtain SIN/Healthcare and we already have a decent plan but was wondering if there's...

Hi there. I am married now for almost 2 years and on the advanced stages of my application. I have been asked to submit an AOM / Cenomar of which I had thought we already did but apparently not. Do I need to submit both or is it the same thing? And I can request from PSA here in the...

Hi there. Just wouldn't mind getting some modern advice - I know there are other threads but would love to hear some thoughts today. We will be approved hopefully soon and I had called in and apparently for healthcare in Ontario, they will need proof of address but will ONLY accept mailed...

Hi there. I have successfully linked to the site with all the details about you and your application and have been able to get in there but sometimes when I click on the IRCC links they send to me it asks for the gckey login and then just dumps me into a general site with no account information...

Hi there. So I finally sent the application. The person at DHL Philippines told me it would direct to the courier address in Sydney however after it arrived in the sort facility in Ontario this message popped up. I was told by DHL PH that it was now with a local courier and I had to call DHL...
