@ Hi, Yes. Everything went much smoother than I thought! The kids are dual citizens and had US passports with their Canadian citizenship cards. My wife had all her paperwork that was still in process with Canada immigration. She had her US passport. We shipped everything up separately and...

Our house is sold and our sponsorship/immigration application and all supporting documents are complete with the exception of the FBI clearance letter. We are at the 3rd attempt due to ineligible prints and hope this time it is legible. We are planning to drive up to Canada together along with...

I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my US citizen wife via Outland application to join me in Canada. We both currently live in the USA. The sponsorship/immigration application and all supporting documents are complete with the exception of the FBI clearance letter. We are at the 3rd attempt due...

Hi, I have a similar situation. I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my US citizen wife via Outland application to join me in Canada. We both currently live in the USA (11 yrs together). The sponsorship/immigration application and all supporting documents are complete with the exception of the...

Hello, I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my US citizen wife via Outland application to join me in Canada. We both currently live in the USA. The sponsorship/immigration application and all supporting documents are complete with the exception of the FBI clearance letter. We are at the 3rd...

Our house is sold and the closing is scheduled for July 15th. We plan on shipping everything to Canada at that point and driving up in our car (which I'll be importing through RIV). The kids and I are CAN citizens, however, my wife's application will still be in process. Do you think we'll...

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure since my wife would still be a visitor to Canada while her application is in process with no permanent USA address. She would obviously be with us.

Ok, we are ready to move at the end of July 2011. My wife will be going for her medical examination to a DMP on May 9th and I'll be mailing in my completed application the same day to the Case Processing Center as an outland. If we all move in July 2011 to Canada, will notifying the...

Hello, Wondering if anyone can help answer the last few questions I have above? Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed answers RobsLuv! Few more clarification comments/questions. 2) Our 19 yr old daughter does not any criminal record. She can only be sponsored up until age 22? Does that mean there would be no need for another medical/police clearance? What happens when she is 23...

Hello, I am a US/Canada citizen in the process of completing the immigration application form for my spouse to sponsor her as a permanent resident in Canada. We are currently USA residents and living together for the last 11 years. I have one step-daughter (19 yrs old from my wife's previous...

I've been living in the USA for nearly 11 consecutive years now. I still have my original OHIP card from 1999. I understand it is probably expired and will probably have to re-apply and get a new card with a new number when we move back and establish residency in Ontario. Thanks

What about the 3 month waiting period for OHIP? Does it start from the time she gets PR status or does she have to be physically residing in Canada for at least 3 months? The other issue we have is we do not have documentation to prove we will move to Canada when she is granted a visa for PR in...

Ok, we'll plan for a little delay at the border. I assume we should not encounter any issues if my spouse is entering as PR status since our intention is to only go for a visit for a week then return back to the USA? We can still start the clock on her official PR in Canada this way?

Ok, thanks! So, there should be no issue applying right now. We are actually planning a visit during the summer to see family in Toronto, so maybe she will get her approval by then and as we cross the border together, she can enter as a PR? Should I anticipate a delay at the border with the...

When you say land as a PR then move later do you mean she can enter Canada after getting her visa to get PR status then come back to the USA for say another 6+ months and move back to Canada with no issues? Thanks

It seems that outland would be the best way to go prior to us moving to Canada. If our move is not going to be for another 18 months, would it be ok to apply now? If she is granted PR status within 6 months, how much time do we have to move to Canada? I also noticed in the application forms...

Thanks for the explanation. So, Canada Immigration is OK with bringing my spouse into Canada as a visitor with her PR still in process? Even if I move all our stuff and buy a house with intention of staying in Canada? Just want to make sure she can stay in Canada throughout the entire process...

What does "outland" and "inland" application mean? I assume outland means applying while we are in the USA? In that case, it would be best to wait until we purchase property in Canada before applying for her PR so we can provide proof that we are going to move to Canada? If applying outland...

Hello, I am a dual citizen (US/CAN) and planning on moving back to Canada with my wife (US citizen only). We also have two kids (4 yrs old) who are dual citizens (born in the US). Our tentative move date is the summer of 2011 (about 18 mths away). My current employer has give me a choice of...
