Hi Allison, no im Irish - i never have a problem getting into the US before and when coming back to Canada as a visitor theyve barely glanced at my passport. But knowing my luck, this would be the one time they decide to ask me a few questions and im worried about what would happen with no PR...

Hi, i landed a few weeks ago, but im still waiting to receive my PR card. I was hoping to take a road trip to the US this weekend. Does anyone know if ill have problems getting back into Canada without it. I have the document the immigration officer attached to my passport when i landed (which...

Hi Everyone, i just landed a couple of days ago in BC, everything went fine. But now im reading i was supposed to get some info pack at the airport, which i didnt. Is there anything important in that? I already know i need to apply for my SIN, i need to get health insurance as im not covered...

i just got my passport back from London a couple of weeks ago...it took nearly 5 weeks altogether, so the 2 week thing isnt always correct

Thanks everyone for the help.....just when i think i have almost everything organised, something else pops up ahhh lol. I really dont know what i would have done without this forum, its been such a help :)

Hi everyone, ive been approved as PR and received my passport back, so im all ready to go. On the letter that came back with my passport, it mentions having to fill out a list of everything ill be bringing with me, so i dont have to pay tax on it. It directed me to a site for more info...im...

Hi everyone, i got an email requesting my passports today wohoo..so excited. But it also says the permanent residence visa will expire in a few months time, one year since i completed my medical!...is this meaning i must enter Canada before this expiry date, or does it just mean i need to send...

go to www.usit.ie - they are a student and youth travel company based in Ireland. They are authorised by the Canadian govt to give out working holiday visa's to canada for 1 year (note you dont have to be a student, under 35's can apply too). The program opens once a year and spaces fill up fast...

Hi, ive been trying in vain to apply online using the epass system. I have registered a few days ago but it just wont work for me and now ive noticed on the cic website that epass is having tech problems. Unfortunately they dont say how long these tech problems will last. Anyway my visa is up...

thanks everyone. I still cant find where i originally read about the staples, but ill leave them out anyways ;)

Hi, im just trying to organise my forms to finally send off the application. I couldve sworn i read somewhere in the guide NOT to staple pages together, but i cant find this now. It would be very handy if i could staple some together, esp the application forms, as there is so many pages and it...

hi i did the swap visa a few years back and when my visa was up i wanted to extend it to travel around the country. I rang immigration and they told me i had to apply to extend my status as a visitor and i couldnt just leave and try to re-enter in a few days. I cant remember the reason for...

Thanks a lot :)

I will hopefully be sending my application off this month. There's so much to do and just when i think im getting somewhere i find ive forgotten something. How long did it take everyone else to get the application together?

Hi, The CIC website talks about visa photos which it says are different to passport photos. But when i booked my medical the receptionist said i need to bring passport photos. She seemed a bit unsure of some details though, so now im a bit confused...can someone please tell me did they bring...
