Thanks for all the response. I guess we are just thinking too much. I guess he just have to explains everything just like how I have mentioned here, then he should be fine. Money wise, he has more than enough to support the entire family for a few years even if he is unemployed. Unless he burns...

Hi guys, Haven't check back for a long time ever since my wife become PR. Now I am back as I am helping my brother (who is Canadian) to sponsor his wife inland as well. Brief background: He is Canadian, but has been away for 15 years, so technically non-resident holding valid Canadian...

Anyone with similar experience? :)

Thanks for the information and links. I think I will use the Peace Bridge based on that website, it seem like it has better waiting time than Rainbow or Lewiston. But I will keep that link handy on my iphone, so I can check the delay/waiting time before I get to the borders. Also, that link...

There's Equifax or TransUnion for credit reports in Canada. Most likely when the landlord do a check on you, there shouldn't be much finding as you never had any credit cards, debt payments (such as student loan, LOC, mortgage, etc) history. So yes, having a Canadian bank credit card is a good...

We're from Toronto, and will be crossing at the Niagara Falls bridge to Buffalo. Only my wife is Chinese passport, our child is Canadian passport as well. We'll be crossing the border at 6-6:30am on Aug 30 (Friday morning) before the weekend actually starts. And we'll be starting the trip at 5am...

Thanks for the detailed info. Last time we went to US was Dec 2012 with a "tour bus" and we surrender the white card at the CDN custom. However, when we surrender it to the officer, it didn't seem like they did anything, they just put the card aside, not sure if they already punch in something...

How long did it took your in-law to get the white card at the border? Do we get it at the custom gate outside, or will we be advise to go into the custom building?

Hi, My wife received PR status, but we are still waiting for her PR card, but we have the COPR. As well as, we still have the gov't issued copy of her study permit. We are planning to drive to New York for the labor day long weekend before she starts classes again on Sept 3. She already has a...

Hi all, My wife used to be under TRV status with a study permit, to file taxes for her, I helped her apply for an ITN (International Tax Number) to file her tuition credits and later we used the ITN to apply for child benefits after we had our first child. Now that she received PR status and...

Just want to let everyone know that my wife finally got PR and her SIN as well today. Thanks for the prayers and support from everyone on this forum. It is a great relief to the entire family. The process was simple. This was our day: Wake up at 6:15am (We live in richmond hill) Prepare...

so excited and nervous everyone. in 8 hours, we are getting our interview at Scarborough CIC. but my 1 year old lil one just recovered from a fever and has been crying non-stop the last couple hours. i really hope everything will go through smoothly tomorrow. we need all your prayers :)...

strange that they ask if she ever worked in canada... not sure if that question is relevant to becoming a PR... but good to hear it is straight forward... thanks for sharing :)

Hi all, I have a question about getting SIN immediately after receiving confirmation of becoming PR. My wife (the applicant) is hoping to seek a summer job (July+Aug) relating to her fields of study. After we know she got DM, we didn't want to apply for the off-campus work permit. Her landing...

Thanks for sharing your experience. So I guess they are asking us to bring all CIC issued document is for the purpose of destroying them. Then I hope they would believe that the Canadian Border already destroyed my wife's old study permits when we return from our USA trip back in Dec 2012. It...

Exactly same wording as the letter we got from Scarborough CIC. We got the time 8:15am. I wonder if we line-up there with others that are schduled for 8:15am as well or that is the time-slot dedicated to us only. Also, when you finish your interview, can you let us know how it goes? Thank you :)

My wife finally got her landing date. June 25 at Scarborough. By the way, on the letter where it says the things we need to bring to the interview, it says "All documents issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada". For those that have been to the interview already, what documents do they...

For those that read my previous post regarding paying first before receiving the actual scheduled landing date. On the same day I made that post, we received a letter in the mail later in the afternoon. The letter stated we haven't paid the fees yet, and request us to submit a clear copy of my...

I wonder if that's the reason why my wife hasn't receive a letter from the Scarborough office regarding her landing interview. We received the DM on april 3, heard nothing ever since... According to the DM letter (emailed from the IO), we haven't pay the $490 fee yet, but it didn't indicate we...

Honestly, I totally forgotten about the OCWP. Maybe I should try that as I believe it should be faster, since its for students to get work experience off-campus (I suppose). Thanks for ringing back my lost memory haha... I'll look into that. 2 weeks seems like an awesome turnaround time. ;)
