    Options for calling Canada from Portugal?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please point me if there's somewhere better! I'll be in Portugal for a few weeks soon, and I'd like to be able to call my husband while I'm away. I won't have internet access, so the solutions we used while I was living in the US won't work. I...

    B4 - valuing my posessions

    Do I put the new value or the used value of things? For example, I own a camara that's on Amazon for $400 new or $150 used. How would I value that? For heirloom jewelry, is there a good way to guess? I've never bought jewelry on my own, so I have no clue. For oddball things without a real 'sell'...

    PPR! How much longer?

    Bolding and underlining was in the original email. Does anyone know if that 3 weeks timeframe is accurate? They received my documents on Friday (March 30) with a return envelope, and I'd really like to make plans for May 14th-ish. Is this safe to do or should I wait to buy tickets until I can...

    I've been going here: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=ecas&lang=en and using my receipt number (R*********) but it's not letting me in. Am I supposed to use my surname/birthday/etc or my sponsors? Neither one seems to work. :(

    Immigration photos

    When I had my medical done, my DMP told me to bring the immigration photos with me. He took 3 of them and mailed them to the immigration office with the medical, and gave one back to me attached to a form saying that I'd done the medical. I sent that form in with my app, but didn't take a new...

    My husband got his address wrong.

    We sent in our application, and the CIC received it, about a week ago. After mailing it in, I noticed that on the 1344 (the one we both have to sign) my husband had written his address wrong. He lives on a numbered street (eg, 12th street, 103rd st) and wrote that number under both "street...

    Dual citizenship question

    I currently only have US citizenship. However, a couple years ago I applied for Portuguese citizenship, and I believe that process is nearly complete, so that I probably will have dual citizenship by the time anyone looks at the application. Should I note this anywhere?

    Eloped--will that cause issues?

    My husband and I met on the internet and were friends for a couple years before we started dating. We eloped less than a year after we actually started dating. This was because neither of us likes big ceremonies, and to avoid the expense/time/hassle of gathering family from a 4200-mile area, in...
