I just landed last week and all of my travel docs have my maiden name. When I went to get my SIN from Service Canada and a BC ID card, I brought my marriage certificate and used my married name. So, the only thing that has my maiden name is my passport and PR card.

I had moved while my app was in process as well. I emailed Buffalo with the address change. The only reply I got was the automated one that said that they recieved the email. I didn't recieve anything else until they were ready to issue the visa. Once you email them, they should correspond with...

The paper I recieved said I had roughly 6 weeks to send in my passport for the visa or pick it up in person. If I remember correctly, if you send it in it takes 3-4 weeks from the time they recieve it to issue the visa. The paper will have specific info on how to send it. The time you have to...

I've offically landed. Everything went very smoothly meeting with the IO. I went through the Edmonton airport en route to Ft St John, BC. The IO asked why I was there and I showed her the papers I got from Buffalo, then she sent me to a room where another IO pulled up a file on the computer and...

Don't worry too much about this. I got this also while my file was in between Mississagua and Buffalo. It just means that the app is probably at the Buffalo office but they haven't started processing it so they don't have anything on file for you yet. It took around 6 weeks after the file was...

Trying to plan out the trip to pick up my visa. So far, I plan to go to Buffalo on a Monday, then go to the cosulate office first thing on Tues morning. My question is, should I book my return flight to Canada on Tues evening or wait til Wed? Unfortunately my hubby can't come with me and I'll be...

I'm planning on getting my visa in person so I'll write a note down and see if I can remember to mention about the number of pictures. I'm trying to plan the trip out now and hopefully leaving in the next week or two. :)

I recieved my PP request this morning via email and it said I have until August 30 to submit it.

Just woke up and checked my email and recieved my passport request!!!! Yay!!!!

Yeah, I'm frustrated as well. I checked ECAS and all it says is that my app started processing in Buffalo on May 18. I've tried to email them, but they haven't responed and it's been two weeks since the email was sent. :(

My app is still "In Process" at Buffalo and I haven't heard anything either (I emailed them last week and haven't heard back.) My app was transfered and started processing on May 18.

I recieved my copy of IMM 1017 back (my DMP didn't give it to me until after I sent my app) I think I sent it to Buffalo too early as I got a letter back with the form that says that there wasn't a file there, then a couple of days later, I got a letter from Buffalo that said that they recieved...

i have two pieces of mail from Buffalo being sent to me (we just moved so a family member is sending the letters to us.) Can't wait to see what they say. ECAS hasn't been updated for me. I should have the letters by the end of the week. Hopefully good news.

Hey all, Just a quick question. My hubby and I moved and we have both of our names on the lease. Also, at the time we filled out the papers, he was in school for his apprenticeship and didn't know when he would go back to work. We just moved 3 weeks ago because his company has work for him now...

My hubby got me into playing WOW last summer and now that we're married are still playing (taking a break for now, might get back into it when the expansion comes). We have 2 computers set up next to each other and raid together on Cenarius.

It just means that the 1st part is done and the file was transfered to the local office and it probably says that you've been approved to sponsor. :) Congrats.

I'm from the states and came in Oct '09 and was married in Dec. As a US citizen, you have 6 months to stay unless there is a specific date written in your passport by the IO. We applied for PR in March and around the same time filled out an extension request (TRV). You can find the forms on this...

Don't give up your bank account and credit card. I've been here in Canada for 7 months now and it's really helped. I bank with Bank of America with the states and checked their website about withdrawling out of country and found out that Scotiabank does not charge any fees for using the ABM...
