Okay so I've tried for hours to get all the info myself but it's impossible to speak to anyone in person to just ask a few questions. I have already emailed the Buffalo office and let them know we are importing. I asked them questions but they don't answer. First I want to make sure they don't...

A friend of mine is coming to school in university. She'll be on a student visa which is obviously temporary status. She shouldn't have to register/insure her car here right? Assuming her company will still insure her while in Canada.

Thanks, I put it in the other forum and will try to talk to CRA again. I had already spoken with them but it was before I saw this form they directed me to.

Note: I may have put this in the wrong forum at first. Apologies. Anyway, hi all, I hope this isn't too confusing. I don't think it will be. My wife moved here from the States in May 2010 and became a permanent resident in Feb 14, 2011 (yay!). We both filed income taxes for 2010. Because she...

Hi all, I hope this isn't too confusing. I don't think it will be. My wife moved here from the States in May 2010 and became a permanent resident in Feb 14, 2011 (yay!). We both filed income taxes for 2010. Because she was a student for part of the year and had 0 income I was able to get a...

It's all good. He got back to me and though he can't guarantee it would be done the same day, it's very likely. To Detroit we go!

In the officer's correspondence with my wife last week, he said this: "You may submit the passport etc. to the immigration receptionist between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. We are not open to the public on Wednesdays. If we an issue the visa on the same day...

My wife finally received her ready to issue instructions! She needs new pics (for the PR card apparently) and her passport. However, the officer stated he would be out of the office from Feb 17-28. That isn't enough time for it to get there so we'd like to make the 3 hour drive to Detroit, but...

Good to know. Thank you. I assume if they receive my receipt of payment (if they don't already have it) that they won't need to spend 6 weeks sending me a letter about it.

I believe so but it was last June when we sent the application so I can't remember for sure. I'm about 90% sure I did though. Detroit said it could take 6 weeks just for Mississauga to confirm receipt of payment. They are supposedly sending me a letter about it but I can't imagine they would do...

On January 7, 2011, the Detroit office which is processing our application sent a request to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga asking that they contact the sponsor (me) to remit the Right of Permanent Residence Fee. When they have received confirmation from the CPCM that the fee has...

Hi there, I posted here a while back about potentially marrying my girlfriend in the spring. Well, happy to say that we are now engaged with a May 22 wedding coming up. I have a fairly basic question to help me get the process started. We are currently in the process of getting her a Work...

Understood. It's the period between her starting school again in September and our sponsorship getting done that concerns me. If she's coming back here every weekend, even with proof that she is going to school and living in Michigan and that we have a sponsorship in process, they might get...

Very cool. Sounds like a great timeline. :) Hope ours is the same!

That is awesome! Was this a sponsorship? I'm hoping to do the same thing next May and pray that it's done by September so this is promising. Congrats!

I haven't logged into this site for a while so I just saw this now. Thanks for the explanation, RobsLuv. I understand she wouldn't be "living" with me until after the sponsorship is done. The part about being refused entry does worry me. We're more serious about a May wedding now but I'm still...

Thanks for your answers. :) Alrighty.. so I take it she wouldn't even need a visitor's visa, but would have to convince them she would be returning to the States to finish school. In the mean time, we put in an outland permanent residence sponsorship.

Thanks for the suggestion, Leon. I failed to mention that she would ideally live here with me for the 3 or 4 months before her final semester started. She would need something to allow that though, right?

Hi folks. I have a bit of a complicated question. I've done research on the CIC website but it's hard to get specifics from that. Here's the dealio. At this point it's all hypothetical but very possible. My girlfriend is an American. We're thinking of getting married next spring/summer. I take...
