We have asked to re-submit the photographs for the PR card (CIC says that the photo submitted at time of landing is not per specification). Will it be okay if we submit photographs taken at local Sears in Seattle, WA (the back of the photo will be stamped with date and Sears Seattle address) or...

Ynet - The NJ phone number works just fine; I just tried it. Maybe you can try using a different phone service provider in India - if you are using Airtel try Reliance or BSNL or MTNL. Good luck!

Thank You PMM You are the best ;D

Anyone - Please tell me how to reach CIC call center number 1 888 242‑2100 from US (specifically from Seattle area). I am not able to reach this number from my home/cell phone. I am prepared to use a calling card if I know which one. When I call from Vancouver, during weekends, the CIC call...

Thanks Sato2. Any more pointers from Vancouver residents? We visited a few of Vancouver's suburbs over the last several weeks. Burnaby, Coquitlam, North and West Vancouver all seem real nice places to raise a family. We plan to drive from Seattle over the next several weekends to check out...

Did you try Emirates or Air Canada? They both offer good value - it depends on number of days in advance you book, though. I took DEL->LAX->Vancouver and got a good deal from a travel agent.

Not sure how this works in Canada (meaning connecting flights after immigration), but I don't think it will be any different from what happens at US airports. You baggage tag might be until final destination, in this case Toronto, but you still have to go through immigration/customs at VIA and...

Beware that the wait times are sometimes unpredictable. We had to wait nearly 3 hours to clear immigration/customs formalities. Such wait times are rare, but still possible as in our case. Sometimes multiple flights get bunched together. Also, remember that CBSA at Vancouver does not stamp your...

LA does not do in-person stamping. I got my passport stamped after PPR request; it took about 3 week - from the time PP was requested and getting it back stamped. I thought they were very efficient given the long-weekend around Thanksgiving.

Please share any information about school districts in and around Vancouver metro area - the good one. Sometime back PMM did point to the Fraser report. Any first-hand information will also surely help. We need to enroll our kids in grade school this fall. When the volunteer, who we met...

You might be asked for source of the funds. Tax documents and past bank records may help to establish that funds were accrued legally.

The officer at CBSA Inland office as well as the one who answered the call (1-800 number probably routed the call to Vancouver area as I was calling from downtown) had the same opinion - I need to get the B4 stamped when goods arrive. I don't know what to do with my car ... OrangeCounty

Planning to drop into CBSA office at Dunsmuir Street, later in the week, to find out the best option ...

Thanks PMM! Okay, I understand. Even though I don't plan to add any new items to the list, how can Canadian Customs tell if I did. Since they don't have a copy of the GTF list, what would be the best way to explain the situation at other ports of entry. Sorry about the many questions ... Best...

Thanks PMM for your reply. The problem I have is that I would be returning to the US after a week or so and don't know which city, in Canada, I would be going to when I return in summer - it all depends on where I get a job. Will there be a problem when I bring in the good through a Canadian...

The Customs form that I filled out is E311 http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5056-eng.html#s6x1 Experts, request you to please help !

Hi Max_Lee - Thanks for your reply. Yes, I did pass through customs but all I did was handover the Customs card that I had filled. This is after the IO had stamped the Customs Card and declined to accept my B4 and B4A forms. Is there any way I can rectify the situation so that there is no...

I also had my car listed in the goods to follow list ...

When I landed at Vancouver, the immigration officer processing my case did not take the B4 and B4A forms, When I asked her again about the same, she responded by saying "Please bring it along when the goods arrive in Canada". Could someone please let me know how to go about this situation? I am...
