I avoided this by putting off marriage until after I receive my PR card. Is this an option for you?

I stand corrected. THanks PMM

If your father is a Canadian citizen, you are a Canadian citizen. Follow up with your father and CIC on your actual status. It is a new beginning indeed :) I like the title of your post and think of my case as one! It is heartening to see civilized people from across the world have a common...

Yes, I sent the RRPF along with the Medical Receipt which is given by the Doctor once you finish medicals

Thanks alba, It did feel gr8! Anything above 7 in each category is considered good and will get you 16 points. In fact I am sitting at the Buffalo airport typing that I have received my Single Entry Canadian Visa yesterday at the Buffalo airport. I look forward to landing sometime before next...

If the only country you visited after leaving Canada is the US and you are returning by foot or your own vehicle, you can use the "Landing Record" document which was issued when you landed, to return to Canada.

US. The US has more opportunities (job/business/academic/research) than Canada. That said the difference in status does not matter much because a Canadian citizen can work in the US on a TN visa. This visa can be extended foreever; however it is only for certain occupations. We dont know...

Ladies and Gentlemen, In a moment of enlightenment (or delirium, its a fine line) the thought to cross over to Canada by foot has occurred to me! More specifically, by foot over the Rainbow Bridge connecting Niagara Falls, ON and Niagara Falls, NY. If anyone has attempted this maneuver as a...

skywards, Thanks! I have H1B work status in the US and I hear they give the Visa the very next day (at least a year ago they were). Anyway I have no other choice but to get a visa in Canada.

Is it possible to return to Canada with just the landing record and without PR Card, if I am traveling in a Rental Car? Do they even rent cars so that I can drive to Canada?

I live in the US. I have Work Permit / legal status in the US but no Visa. I have to go back to the US to finish business. I am thinking of applying for a US visa in Canada through the US Consulate. I have the following questions. Appreciate if someone could answer; 1) Is it faster to stamp...

I live in the US. H1B status. I received a "Gray Envelope" through which to submit the documents. Applicants must use USPS Express Mail to send the Gray Envelope.

Hi all, Thanks! I applied under Federal Skilled Worker..

You must put down on the application, you real family details. Your family does not have to accompany you. In this case you only have to provide proof of funds for yourself. However your family must also undergo Medicals and get Police Clearance Certificates. If you don't declare family details...
