    So I submitted my PR/OWP applications on Oct 4. On November 4 I received a thick package from CIC containing my original application for PR - rejected because I did not include IMM 5406.

    New Liberal Government - should I apply now or later?

    Thanks for this advice. Would there be any issues with me applying outland even though I reside in Canada and have been doing so for the last 5-6 years? I have heard that applying outland may cause issues with my travel across the border (example - leaving Canada to visit family in the US)...

    New Liberal Government - should I apply now or later?

    Hi Aquakitty, Yes - I have full custody - kids have been here in Canada with me all this time. Do you really think it will take that long to get this automatic PR thing going? Guess it was too good to be true :(

    Question on Divorce while on NAFTA Permit

    Thanks PMM. I thought so, but recently she told me she "talked to immigration" and they told her that this was "not necessarily the case", so I wasn't sure what to believe.

    NAFTA Professional Applying for PR

    Hi, I'm sure this has been asked already but I have two questions: #1 Does any of my time spent on my NAFTA permit count towards the time required to apply for PR and/or Citizenship? #2 I never got a Record of Landing, only my work permit when I initially crossed into Canada from the US. Do I...
