What documents do I need to give Social Security to transfer my pension to a Canadian bank?

I had a stroke 2 years ago and lost the ability to remember things. I have since regained my memory. So, what if that had happened during the time for my renewal? I wouldn't even have been aware it needed done, and Hubs was so caught up in helping me to recover, he wouldn't have remembered...

I finally got my PR card in the mail. I was reading online how to renew (in 5 years) so I would know what documents to keep for doing that. What I read was they require us to go through the whole process again -- same as when I first applied?? That makes no sense to me! Can anyone point me to...

I'm a PR and have lived here almost a year. I've been getting my Social Security checks direct deposit to my US bank for years. When I moved here, I started transferring the money, through PayPal to my bank here. Should I continue doing that, now that I'm an official PR, or can I contact the...

I landed November 20th and I still haven't received my PR card -- should've taken 33 days. I know mail is probably backed up due to the holidays. I've called the Call Centre but get menu after menu and no live person to talk to. How does one get through to a person there?

I've been retired for 5 years (USA) and do not have to pay taxes on it. I have no other income. Do I need to file taxes in Canada for that (I'm a PR now)? My Social Security check still goes to my US bank, then I transfer it to my PayPal, then transfer it to my bank here. My husband will be...

My husband's SA came July 4th. I've tried to get into the system to check on our application every week for a over a month now and can't get in! I get this: "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided." ----- I put in ID type = UCI number, then his UCI number, then his...

I'm trying to check on my application status and can't get through. I put in my Client ID (even tried husband's Client ID). And I've tried the Application number shown on his SA letter. All I get is this: We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. ....... blah, blah...

CIC is asking for my application number before they can respond to my email. I have a UCI and an IME number but no idea where to find the application number. They said it should start with an 'E'. Help?!

I received a letter stating I need to go back for more medical! It's dated April 22 -- before I even sent in my application for PR. I don't understand that. I'm so upset. I can't afford to fly back to Dallas from here (Newfoundland) to get this done. And there's only 2 places here to do it...

After 7 months of research/paperwork/collecting documents and filling them out, we put the Permanent Residency application in the mail yesterday. Now for the long wait -- 8-12 months ?? Keep your fingers crossed, peeps!

For some reason, I'm not able to change or input info into some of the documents -- it's not grayed out, just won't let me type into it. So, I need to print them and finish filling out by hand. Do I still click on Validate when I'm done? Or, is that only for forms typed in?

I'll be marrying, in Newfoundland, in April. Then, 2 weeks later, want to send in our applications for PR. Should I change my name (to married one) before we send it in or can I do it later?

I will be flying to Newfoundland on a 2-way ticket from April to July. We will be married in April and send in our Outland application right afterward. In July, I fly back here for 2 weeks. Then, when I fly back to Newfoundland, can I get a one-way ticket? What reason could I use when I'm...

When going through my files needed for the FBI background check, I noticed I had a link to the FBI site for their Request form. It's a bit more detailed. Should I use their Request form or the one from CIC?

I'll be staying with my sponsor (spousal) for 90 days this Spring. I'll need to buy Visitor health insurance. How much is a good amount? I've seen policies for 10K, 50K, and up. So I'm not sure what to buy. Any feedback is appreciated. :)

(Helping a friend here): "For 6 years I have been living between the US and Canada. I am a US citizen and have a visitor status in Canada. My residence in the US is a family member's home. I own a house in Canada with my Canadian-citizen husband. I am applying for my PR in Canada under the...

I'm going for my 3rd visit to marry my fiance, and file our outland application then. I'll be staying for 90 days on my US passport. The trips before were only 2 weeks long and I had no problem with customs. But, I've heard that they are stricter with questions for long stays. I am retired so...

I'll be going to my guy to be married in April (in Canada). We will send off our Outland app. after the wedding. I'll be there for 90 days. I want to ship my clothing/personal items (vitamins and herbal meds included) needed for those 90 days. I plan on shipping the box a few days before my...

I will need health insurance while in Newfoundland Canada (going to get married and stay for 90 days, then back and forth during PR process). But, I don't need travel insurance as I'm covered for that through my credit card when I purchase airline tickets. It seems every plan includes both. I...
