I've read a variety of different ways to complete the B4 form and would like some advice from those that have already landed. Some people list absolutely everything down to colour, brand name, etc. Others list "box of small kitchen appliances". Of course the latter way is a lot simpler, can we...

I just posted a note on the Temp Work Visa area but thought perhaps other Americans have gone through the same thing. I've been offered a senior position at a Canadian firm but I'm not quite sure if it qualifies for NAFTA. Please see this thread if you think you could help...

I'm currently waiting for spousal sponsorship approval. Last month I applied for a senior level position at a marketing firm and yesterday I was offered the position. The position includes managing the Ontario office, bringing in new business and some account work. I want to apply for a temp...

I'm going back and forth on whether or not to import my car from the US to Canada. I've read it is a pain in the bum but it hurts to pay $8k more for a new vehicle (plus higher TTL) than in the US. Those who have imported or who are in the process, can you share your experience?

We are almost done with our application! :D But I have questions on organizing it. I am American applying Outland. On form 5490 it asks for support of the relationship: photos, flight itinerary, etc. but it also asks for supporting documents under Part 3. So where do you put your photos...

My husband is self employed and we're trying to figure out how to fill out his income. Outland Form 5481 3. Net income for the 12-month period preceding the date of your application. He says that he doesn't have his net because he hasn't filled his 2012 taxes and asked if he could put his...

I know this is a weird question for this forum, I apologize that it's a bit off topic. We are having our Canadian reception in a month. Since I'm from Texas we'd like to give out packets of bluebonnet seeds as party favors (so our Canadian guests can enjoy a little Texas at home). I've heard of...

I thought I only needed four photos for the family app, those that are used for the medical exam. I had four taken last Sunday, and they were all used. Now I am seeing I need six (four for medical, two for other form). First off, is this correct? Secondly, I called the photo place that did my...

I'm having trouble with this area. I can't remember every association I was ever a part of and the timeline. For example I was in Girl Scouts when I was in I think first-third grade but I'm not positive. Also I can't remember if I was a member of a professional organization or just attended...

Hi guys, I'm sure this has been asked before. Does anyone have experience working for a US company and travelling a lot to Canada during the PR process? My boss and I are trying to work out a plan in which I still work for my US company during the waiting period and after I receive PR. For the...

How descriptive did you get when talking about your wedding? How you met? How the relationship has developed? I've just started writing notes and I have 4 pages already. Did you add anecdotes?

Just a quick poll: How long did you wait to file your application after your wedding date? Why did you choose that time to file? (i.e. took so long to get application ready, etc)

I plan to submit my application for PR in September and would like to come to Canada to visit my husband at the beginning of October. I'd also like to take a trip mid-October to England to visit a friend. I wanted to fly out of / into Toronto for the England visit since I will be visiting my...

My Canadian fiancé and I (American) met at a work function while I was going through a tough time in my previous marriage. The next month my ex and I separated (I moved across the country), during that time my fiancé and I emailed and chatted (as friends, mostly about my separation but it was...

Hi everyone. I posted this on the temporary worker forum last week but haven't received a response. Perhaps someone on here might know? My fiance is Canadian and I am American. I was just informed about a job opportunity (instructor at university - temporary because it is one term) in which I...

Hi everyone. I usually hang out on the Family Sponsorship board as my fiance is Canadian and I am American. I was just informed about a job opportunity (instructor at university - temporary because it is one term) in which I am going to apply. I researched and found that an instructor will...

I just schedule my medical for late July, we will be getting married in early August, is this going to be an issue? We are applying under spousal sponsorship. We want to have all the forms complete and records created before the wedding so that we can get everything together in early Sept to...

I'm American and own my own consulting firm, everything I do is online in the US. If I file my application and then visit my husband for 6 months, can I still consult for that 6 months in Canada if I still have a permanent address in the US? I'm not working for Canadian companies, or being paid...

How does the NAFTA agreement work? Do I need to have a job offer to start the process?
