I guess my last post and my ranting worked! So, I have finally received my PR cards. It has been 6 months and 4 days since I landed. For those of you who are not aware with my situation I will give you the timelines and maybe you can work out what may happen in your situation. My timeline will...

Hi, Yes, you will need to send your photos to NS via mail. As I said before, I was misinformed by agent and I had to send my documents again to NS. Their mistake cost me money and time. I am debating whether or not I should make a fuss about it, and ask them for transcript conversations, since...

yes, as I said, the NHS depends on personal experience and maybe area. However, from my own experience, I have never had problems. Whenever I need to see my doctor, I just need to call early in the morning and I get an appointment for that same day or the following day 99% of the times. My...

Hello, Thank you everyone for sharing their experiences. It is nice and it motivates all of us who are new to the country. This is not about slagging any country, but our personal perceptions/experiences. If you read my previous posts here, you will realise that my experience in the UK has been...

I think that everyone pretty much agrees that in terms of quality of life and what money gets you, Canada is better. It all depends on what you are after from my point of view. If you are obsessed with opportunities, you have an extremely high income and you like the buzzing city life, then...

Hello, I have lived in the United Kingdom since 1999, even though I was lucky enough to live in NYC for three years in between. I am now a Canadian PR and I can give you some pointers about the UK as I cannot wait to get out of here in just a few months when my work projects are done and I can...

Thanks for your comments. However, I would not know what to do at Immigration border in the USA when I come back from Europe and I stop over in Washington to visit my relatives. I just do not want to have any problems when I come back to America just because they think I never left North America...

There is no longer an I94 required for people going into the USA under the Visa Waiver program. It is all done electronically through ESTA so I have nothing to give them when I leave the USA and I am not to sure if they would enter the information if I am just going to Canada.

Hello, I have a question regarding Canadian Permanent Residents who hold European passports or any passports that are eligible under the USA Visa Waiver program. Here is my scenario: If I go back from Europe to the USA to visit family and I then take a bus to Canada, how do the immigration...

Thanks PMM So is it correct that I should just go ahead and send my new pictures to Sydney, NS as advised by immigration call centre agent? He did not say anything about forms or timelines, but I guess I should send them asap although I have not received anything from them in the post yet saying...

Hello, After being told a month ago to send my new pictures to the local immigration office in Toronto for my PR card, I decided to call the immigration centre to check that they had been received (I knew they were there because they were signed off as I sent them through Fedex). However...

yes, it is great to hear a happy ending, especially so close to Christmas! Keep in touch once you get to Toronto, it will be very cool to meet, let's see what you think of this great country (although still very much in love with Spain, but you can always have two places close to your heart).

Hi, Congrats! I am also from Spain and me and my partner (American) also got Permanent Residence earlier this year. Where are you planning to move in Canada. We will be in Toronto. It would be cool to meet other Spaniards since there are not many of us in Canada. I think we tend to stay in...

Congrats on the new baby! Yes, out intention will be to move after the winter, even though Toronto does not have as harsh winters and I used to live in the States for a while, so winters there are not that warm either. I am looking forward to the seasons, as you probably know, we do not have...

Hi, yes I am in England but I have a Canadian address, and the lady on the phone told me that I can send everything via mail if I want to send it with Fedex for security reasons. She was actually very nice and double checked with one of the supervisors that that was the case. She even said that...

Thank you guys! Really appreciate your help!

Hello, I was just informed that the picture we sent for our Permanent Residence card are not valid (strange since I took the specs to the photographer and they looked exactly like the ones they wanted) Never mind, no point in complaining since it will not change anything. I was told that I...
