I've been tracking my passport, which was sent from the Los Angeles office, supposedly on January 19. It took 9(!) days for it to leave the US, now it has been sitting around at Canada Customs for 3 days. I don't understand why documents have to go through customs *grrrrr* I just really want...

I lost part of a filling, and am having a lot of pain, so I need to visit a dentist soon. Can anyone tell me how much, approximately, it costs to visit a dentist here in Canada? Since I don't have any insurance coverage, I assume they will want cash up front. I wonder if they accept credit...

After looking up my status online, the last entry says that my file was transferred to the LA office in September. A lot has happened since then -- they requested my medicals, they requested my passport. So why is none of this recorded? I sent in my passport last month, and my status still...

Does anyone know how long, after landing, it takes to become eligible for health care in British Columbia?

Does anyone know if it's possible to land from inside Canada? I applied outland, but I've been staying in Canada with my husband. I got the request to send in my passport, but I'm concerned about landing. I don't live too far from the border, but I don't have a car, so I have no way to get to...

Well, the good news is I got an email saying that the processing for my PR application has been completed, and I am to send in my passport. Yay!! The bad news is, I'm confused about how I am getting the passport back. I am living in Canada, but applied outland. I'm supposed to provide a self...

I got a letter from the LA office, telling me that I won't have to go for an interview, which is good news, but also requesting the medicals for me and my son. I had my medical done back in May of this year, and my son had his done in July. I was told that the results would be sent directly to...

I received an e-mail a few days ago, informing me that my file has been transferred from the Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo, to the CCG in Los Angeles, "in order to expedite the processing of your application". Is this odd or unusual?

I sent in my application for PR in early June, while I was staying in Canada with my Canadian husband on a visitor permit, which expires in September. I have been in the US visiting family for the past 5 weeks, and plan to return to Canada to stay with my husband next week. I feel pretty...

My PR application was just returned, because I didn't have my 21-year-old, non-accompanying daughter, fill out an IMM 5406 (Additional Family Information). I'm very confused as to how she should fill this out, because it seems that this is only for the applicant. Is there a different IMM 5406...

I am a US Citizen, married to a Canadian, and here on a TRV. We mailed our outland PR application last week, and at the end of this month, I have to travel to the US. My question: will I have problems returing to Canada, if I have to tell the Immigration Officer that I have applied for PR...

I just paid my fees online, but am confused about one thing: on the receipt which I am supposed to send in with my application, should I put my name (the applicant), or my husband's name (the sponsor)? Thanks for any advice.

For relationship documentation purposes, I'm planning on including cards my husband and I have given each other, plus cards we received from relatives for our wedding, birthdays, Christmas, etc. Does anyone know if Immigration will return these items? I really don't want them to end up in a...

The instructions on this one are as follows: "The principal applicant, his or her spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, and all dependent children aged 18 years or older listed in the application for permanent residence must complete their own copy of this form." My question is this...

I am American, married to a Canadian, and I'm here in Canada on a visitor visa. My husband will be sponsoring me. I have everything together for my PR application exept the medical exam, but I'm unsure of a couple of things. It is okay for me to have the exam done here in Canada, even if I...

My ex-husband has custody of our son, who is a minor, and lives in Germany. My ex is not cooperating about getting the medical exam for my son, and is refusing point blank to have it done. My son will be visiting me in the US this summer, and I hope to get him examined while he is here. Does...

It is stated several times in the immigration guide that all dependent children, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo a medical examination, otherwise it will not be possible to sponsor this child at a later date. My ex-husband has custody of our son, both of whom live in Germany. He...

I'm going to need to have my police check and some other legal papers translated from German to English. Does anyone know where I can get this done (I'm living in Canada), and how much it would cost?

My husband will be sponsoring me for PR. Is a co-signer required? Who would be a recommended person to co-sign? A parent, a boss....? We are just starting the process for PR, and I have to admit I'm really intimidated by the whole thing.

I am American, and recently married my Canadian husband. I was wondering if he will be able to claim me as a dependent on his income tax, even though I do not yet have PR status. Thanks in advance for your answers.
