Update: We decided to cancel our trip to the US and did not drive through any more. Having seen that the processing time has been really fast in the last two months on another thread, we tried calling the IRCC last week. One day, instead of using my husband's ID, we used mine and where somehow...

Update: Having read here and seen that the processing time has been really fast in the last two months, we tried calling the IRCC last week. One day, instead of using my husband's ID, we used mine and where somehow able to speak with an agent. She could not explain why our PR cards were not...

Congratulations! Could you please share which number you used to call IRCC? I have not been able to speak to an agent for months now. Submitted my application in March along with those for my children. My children got theirs and I am still awaiting mine.

But we have since met the RO and my children's PR cards have since been posted. On what grounds would they not want to allow us back in? I want to believe that if they wanted to reach us, upon applying for our PR card renewal, they would let us know that they had been trying to reach us, if they...

Okay, thanks.

I have not been contacted by IRCC about not meeting my RO and we waited 782 days before applying. I did not feel the need to provide any address update before we applied for the PR card renewal as they have our email address and can contact us if need be. We applied on the same day with my...

Good to know, thanks! I will be sure to carry along the paper work for the rental car. I am assuming it does not matter if it is one way. To make it less tasking on the kids, we intend to all fly in and then hire a car from the US to drive across on our way back.

Hi, this is such a relief to hear! I know it has been said many times on this forum that one can drive in with and expired card, but this is the first time I am reading about someone's first hand experience. My family and I had been out of Canada for a while and came back when we had just days...

Sure, I am staying put till I am compliant. When I am compliant then I will apply for my last child.

Yes, Calgary.

I had only stayed two weeks, so way off. I was let in and was told IRCC may contact me.

Awesome! Thanks again.

Oh wow! Thanks. Good to know. Do you know if they can back date it to when we started residing?

Hi all, Could you advise if I can apply for Child Tax Benefit even though I haven't met the RO? It's been nearly a year since we re-entered and have been reluctant about applying so as not to get flagged. My first child is a landed PR while my last was born outside of Canada. I have been...

No, not BC.

Thanks all for your contributions. I will let you know how I go with school applications. The fees are quite high. I'm reviewing a few to find which is most affordable.

We showed them the COPR at first but since that one has expired they asked to see the cards.

Thanks Naturgrl. I will go make enquiries in Private schools.

Hi all, I am in a dicey situation and need urgent advise please. We did our landing in December 2015 but left after two weeks due to work confirmation in another country. The plan was to come back after a year or two to meet our PR obligation but due to personal reasons and then covid last...
