    Hi Wally1961 I recieved PR from Buffalo in January and it took almost 4 weeks after we sent my passport. *sidenote... You don't actually have to send your passport into Buffalo you can just simply photocopy the bio data page and submit your pictures, just in case you might need the passport to...

    I just attempted to make an appointment to land within Canada at a CIC office and it takes three weeks to get a letter mailed to tell you when your appt is.... I got some info from the nice lady on the phone that it would be another 6 weeks AFTER I receive the letter. 9 weeks total. This was for...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Does anyone know if you can land at any border crossing? And are there certain hours in which you have to land? I've googled for hours you'd think it would be an easy question!! Thanks!

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I'm not sure if the letter of PPR approval is the same generic one for everyone, mine stated that a photocopy of the bio-data page of the passport could be sent in place of the actual passport... Our attorney followed these instructions since i will need my passport to travel home for the...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Wish I knew....? :-\ Very straight forward case... Hubby played hockey in my hometown for WHL, dated 5 years, got married. Tons of proof, hired a good lawyer, no clue why we took so long. On the bright side I became a good cook and an even better wife in a year! Just glad to be wrapping it...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I had no idea! I checked out CBSA also (wasn't second guessing you, I promise ::) ) I'm thinking I will just hold on to my passport. I was refused entry and issued an exclusion order 3 years ago, so each time I cross the border they pull me into their really neat private office and give me the...

    Thanks so much for the reply and your PM Calgary-bound! I had my medicals done in the US so they would only be valid a year. I saw this on another thread.. Still waiting to hear back from our attorney, I'm so confused. :-\

    Hi all. I had to take a break from the site, sometimes it really gets me down knowing how many cases after us are done :/ I just want life to resume again.......

    What to say to the BO?

    I agreed stumpedmom. Only info requested should be offered. My situation was outlined before we were married. I had less trouble when we were just dating than I ever had when we were actually married. They did NOT want to let me in once we were married and vise versa for hubby into the states...

    What to say to the BO?

    We had an attorney that handled everything but what he put was that it would be a hardship to leave my husband at this point in time and that he was more than financially able to take care of the basic needs as outlined by CIC. We attached a copy of his pay check stubs and signed! Make sure you...

    What to say to the BO?

    I had the same situation. Make sure she carries with her any vehicle information she has (loan or title paperwork) that shows she has property there that she most likely wouldn't "leave" without. I was living at home as well. I got renters insurance through farmers (it covers all her...

    I love this thread! What a great thing to remind us all of why it's worth it! My story is very stereotypical of Canada... Haha My husband was playing hockey (of course) where I live in the states. We were introduced by friends, dated for 3 years while he played hockey in town and spent the...

    Yes we already had it but for some reason the attorney was holding it until requested? Now I'm bummed I thought this was procedure... Maybe we could have had PR today?? :(
